How To Reset Garage Door Code

Having issues with your garage door opener? If you've forgotten the code or the remote isn't working properly, you can reset the garage door code to regain access to your garage. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you reset your garage door code and get your garage door functioning smoothly again.

### Step 1: Locate the Learn or Smart Button

The Learn or Smart button is usually found on the motor unit of your garage door opener. It's typically a small button, often red, orange, or yellow, and may have an icon or the word "Learn" printed on it.

### Step 2: Clear the Existing Code

Once you've located the Learn button, press and hold it for a few seconds, usually around 6-10 seconds, until the indicator light on the motor unit starts flashing rapidly. This indicates that the existing code has been cleared.

### Step 3: Enter the New Code

With the existing code cleared, you can now enter the new code you want to use. Depending on the model of your garage door opener, you may need to use the remote control or the keypad to enter the new code.

Using the Remote Control:

- Press and hold the Learn button on the remote control. - While holding the Learn button, press and release the desired number buttons to enter the new code. - Release the Learn button and wait for the indicator light on the motor unit to stop flashing, indicating that the new code has been programmed.

Using the Keypad:

- Enter the existing code (if you still remember it) using the keypad. - Press the "Program" or "Set" button on the keypad. - Enter the new code using the keypad. - Press the "Enter" or "Done" button to confirm the new code. ### Step 4: Test the New Code

Once you've entered the new code, test it by pressing the remote control button or entering the code on the keypad. The garage door should open and close smoothly. If it doesn't, check if you've entered the correct code or repeat the reset process.

### Additional Tips: - If you have multiple remotes or keypads, you'll need to reset the code on each device separately. - Keep a record of your new code in a safe place in case you forget it in the future. - If you encounter any issues during the reset process, refer to the user manual for your specific garage door opener model for detailed instructions.
