Haven't you ever wondered how your garage door is being controlled just by pressing a remote? It's quite simple actually and in this article, you will learn just how your garage door remote works and how you can program it should you need to change the code.

Garage door remotes emit radio signals to a receiver that is usually installed in the garage door motor. The receiver, in turn, interprets the signal and sends a command to the motor to open or close the door. The radio signals are unique to each remote, so that only the remote that is paired with the receiver can open the door.

Programming a garage door remote is usually a simple process that can be done in a few minutes. The steps involved will vary depending on the specific model of remote and receiver that you have, but the general steps are as follows:

Locate the programming button on the receiver. This button is usually located on the back or side of the receiver.
Press and hold the programming button until the LED light on the receiver starts to flash.
Press the button on the remote that you want to program.
