How to Choose a Remote That Works Seamlessly with Your Garage Door
Pauline Chavez
Losing your primary garage door remote can be a frustrating experience. That's why buying a spare or extra garage door remote on hand is always recommended in case you misplace or damage the primary one. Whether selecting a proprietary or universal garage door remote, there are essential factors and features to consider. This post discusses five helpful tips when choosing an ideal remote that works well with your garage door.
Determine the Required Specifications
The first step you want to take is to determine the primary garage door specifications from the manufacturer's manual. Check the model number, brand name and other vital features. Ensuring all these details is critical to finding the appropriate remote for your garage door. If you no longer have access to the manufacturer's manual, perform a physical inspection of your garage to get the required details.
Decide Whether to Buy a Proprietary or Universal Remote
Proprietary garage door remotes are manufactured to meet the primary garage door specifications. The benefit of investing in proprietary remotes is you'll be guaranteed their functionality and compatibility with your existing garage door. Conversely, a universal remote can function with most (but not necessarily all) garage door models. That means you can reprogram them to open multiple garage doors on your property.
Consider Your Garage Door Remote Buttons
If you have several garage doors you intend to control with universal remotes, invest in a remote with multiple buttons. For instance, purchase a remote with three buttons if you have three garage doors. Generally, most universal remotes come fitted with up to four control buttons. Therefore, confirm precisely the number of garage doors you need to control before buying your universal remote.
Buying Your Garage Door Remote
After determining the ideal remote you need for your garage door, shop for the most affordable option. If you opt for a proprietary remote, ask your garage door installer for an appropriate remote that meets your garage door needs. If the installer doesn't have the ideal opener for your garage door, consult the manufacturer for the correct remote or reliable supplier recommendations. Most manufacturers will offer custom solutions for their garage doors.
Programming the Garage Door Remote
Finally, the setup process is often straightforward if you choose a proprietary garage door remote. Generally, such remotes come with simple instruction manuals to help with quick setup. However, if you opt for a universal garage door remote, you must ensure it's programmed correctly to work seamlessly with your garage door. Ideally, a reputable garage door installer will help with this process, but most manufacturers often provide reprogramming manuals to help you complete the process alone.
