5.0 out of 5 stars So Much Better Than the Original Stanley Remote Control, June 2, 2010

When we bought our home, there were two Stanley garage door openers installed. The openers worked fine, but the two Stanley remote controls were insanely aggravating. They would only work some of the time, the plastic case eventually cracked and the large gray button would depress and stick, which kept the opener running, up and down. Finally, they both broke completely.

I went on-line to replace them and the company offered to upgrade the Stanley replacement to a Digi-Code 5012 Remote Control for the same price as two Stanley remotes. They even threw in free shipping. When they arrived, it was obvious that the Digi-Code 5012 was a huge improvement over the standard Stanley control. As the picture shows, it is encased in a tough black plastic case with a smaller gray plastic button. Some assembly was required, which couldn't have been simpler to complete. Now all I do is just touch the button and presto! up goes the door, first time, every time. I've had these controls for over two years and they are just as reliable and look just as sharp as the first day they arrived.

It's such a pleasure when a product truly exceeds your expectations. The Digi-Code Remote Control 5012 is that kind of product.

Works perfectly, took about 1 minute to program (most of the time was just used getting a chair to see the code on my opener). Works great no problems at all. I have a very old Stanley opener, but it synched up fine.

The Digi-Code 5012 has worked very well for me. It's easy to use, and I didn't even have to enter in a code to start using it! (This may not be the case for everyone.) I was a little concerned about that at first, thinking that perhaps it might open all of my neighbors' garage doors as well, but I haven't had any problems.

I have been using this product for over a year now, on a regular basis, and haven't had to change the battery yet. When it comes time to replace the battery, be advised that the case is somewhat tricky to open. It's not too bad, but a coin and a little bit of twisting are needed to do so. If accidentally dropped on a hard surface, however, the whole unit will easily fly apart. Fortunately, I didn't have any difficulty snapping mine back together when it did come apart, and it still works just fine.

I have no complaints about the distance from which this remote opens my garage door. I understand that everyone's preference is different. However, the remote is able to open my garage door from at least the house next door, which fine for me! :)
