You could order the exact same remote you had before. You just may have to program it to work with your specific garage door opener.

Once you have the name of your garage door opener you can find the exact remote for it.

A good idea is to buy 2 or 3 and a few extra batteries that way if you lose another remote, you have others to use right when you need them.

  1. You have to change the code on your garage door opener – the actual thing that’s mounted to ceiling of your garage – then your old remote will not work. You have to get up on ladder and change the pins of motor to a new code, then you use this new code put into your replacement remote.

  2. I lost my garage remote, and the problem is that someone who knows my address could have and keep it because I left minein a rental car delivered to car service centre. If I buy a new one here, does my previous remote still work?
