Listed below, are some of the questions asked about choosing and owning a garage door system. In some cases, links are provided to our manufacturer
web sites for detailed information and additional resources.




1.  How do I measure my garage door?

Garage doors are measured width by height by thickness.  If you are measuring for a replacement door, measure your opening NOT your existing garage door.

4.  If I unplug my Opener, will it erase the code?

No, unplugging your opener will not erase the code.


5.  I changed the battery in my remote and it still won't work ?

You may need to reprogram your remote after you change the battery.


6.  How do I program my remote? 

Using a stepladder, you will see on the back of the opener a square button called the "learn" button.  Push this button in and release it. Then push the button on your remote.  Release that button.  When you push that button again, the door should operate.


7.  My Remote will not put my door down and I have to hold the button
     in on the wall to put the door down.  What do I do?



Your opener has a photo safety reverse system with photo eyes on each side.  Each photo eye has an LED light on it.  If one of the lights is off or flickering, you can try to line them up with line of sight until the light is on and solid.  Also make sure there are no obstructions in front of either eye.  (eg: cobwebs, leaves, etc.)
