Hi - I seem to have a problem with my gate openers. About every six weeks, both of my gate openers fail to work. I need to get them reprogrammed at each...

Mine have worked fine for 3 years without reprogramming. How long have you been at Silver Creek? I think the batteries in the remote openers are supposed to...
I have some old remotes (about 3 years old) that still work fine, but I added another garage to my house and got some new remotes, these are the ones that I am...

Hi - We are having the same problem with our gate openers as well. We've been here since November and it has happened at least 3 times that I can think of, ...
I hate to say it...but I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem! I did email Daniel about it but have not heard back. Both of our remotes also fail...

A couple of questions that might help to get to the bottom of this: Which gate are you using? How are your new clickers programmed (ie, by DIP switches...
My gate openers are programmed automatically by holding a working clicker against it. I mainly use the back gate but they fail at the same time for both...

Given that your older remotes work fine it sounds like a defect in the new remotes. I also added a second garage about a year ago and I bought a LiftMaster...
Glen: As an electrical engineer, my guess is that your clicker has some sort of intermittent failure which causes it to forget the code. Cheap clickers are...
I have a lift master also.....I purchased several remotes just in case I had a bad one but all the new remotes have the same issue. I purchased 3 button, 2...

The multiple remotes certainly suggest another problem that a bad remote. The only other thing I can think of is environment. Is it possible the remotes are...
Wow, didn't realize the problem was with more than one remote (although you may have said that in your original posting and I didn't pay attention, apologies)....
Hi - Both of my new remotes fail within 24 hours of eachother. I purchased the remotes from the contractor that installed the original garage door on the...

Lu - In a follow up to the email I sent you last night...my remotes are also LiftMaster (from the Garage Door Store) and both fail at the same time every 6...
Glen: Thanks for the additional info. This is really weird. The codes at the gate do NOT change, and it really stumps me why a bunch of remotes - all ...
Lu, Thank you for looking into this for us. If my remote have a disable function, I do not know about it nor did the contractor who installed my new garage...

Glen: You wrote something in your very first message that may be the clue to the problem, but that I in my ignorance of clicker/receiver technology ignored by...
Hi Lu: My answers for you: Does the guard "program" your clicker by pointing another clicker at it, or by pointing it at the receiver? AT THE RECEIVER What...
Lu, I program my remotes by having the guard point it at the RECEIVER. I have to get them programmed at each gate. If I only program it for the courtside...

Lu, I don't know if Los Gatos is too far for you but I had a good experience with Auto-Tec who replaced the timing belt on my wife's Mitsubishi. I'm planning...
Kerry and Glen: One final question: I think y'all both said you have LiftMaster clickers. What model? Thanx - we're real close to having an answer. Lu...
Lu, As far as I can tell, the remotes do not have a specific model number. There is an FCC code and a date code. The front says Security+ on it. Hopefully...

The sticker on the back should have a number that is something like 972LM which is the model number. On mine its just above the FCC code. The following web...

Glen and Patrick: Bad news. I just called LiftMaster. The 97xLM series of remotes can NOT learn a code. They suggested buying a remote they make called a ...
Lu, we have a 972LM and a 973LM. One was mfg'd in 1999 the other in 2001. (Both of them went dead again around the same time Glen informed you last) It seems...
