Constantly Losing Your Garage Door Opener?
What Is a Universal Garage Door Opener?
A universal
remote is a device which is programmed to work with various door openers. They are often used as a replacement unit for homeowners that need another remote control. As trying to find an original remote control to correspond to your garage door can be a somewhat time-consuming process.
Every door opener works very similarly, the automatic garage door will be hooked up to a motor, which in turn will pull the door open or lower it down with the aid of a chain which is also connected to the door. The door will be on some sort of track, the remote is just used to send a command to open or close the door.
Many homeowners will have at some point or another lost their remote, and one of the fastest ways to replace it is to buy a universal
garage door
remote. This can be programmed to operate numerous garage doors. And in many cases, a universal remote should in theory work with the most of the popular brands of openers available today. The packaging should provide all the information as to which brands and models it is capable of working with.
But, there are some cases when a universal door remote will not be able to work with
certain doors
. This could be because the opener is a brand which is not supported by the remote, or because the security features simply will not allow for it to be used. When this remote is not compatible, your only other option is to contact the manufacturer for a replacement.
The garage remote is normally programmed using 1 of 2 ways, or even a combination of both. The first way is to use the switches within the remote and the one that works with your brand. The door opener could also be programmed to work with your universal remote with the push of a button on the motors housing unit.
