4.0 out of 5 stars A few issues, but otherwise does what it is suppose to., January 4, 2009

Following the instructions, the set up of the following device was quick and easy with very little problem. It works as it claims it does, allowing you to use a code in order to open your garage, thus allowing you to keep a garage door opener outside, which is very useful for someone like me, with a detached garage.

This device lights up when any button is hit, thus allowing you to see it in the dark. The buttons are quite large, and the device is actually larger than the last one I owned, which is a good thing in this case, as you don't have to worry about button slippage as much when you have gloves on in the cold.

The reason it has a 4 star and not a 5 is because of two problems. First off, even when typing the code in correctly, it doesn't always work. Sometimes I need to retype the entire code, sometimes, just the open button, but for whatever reason, buttons occasionally do not register and you have to type the code in 2-3 times. My old one did this too, so that is not as big of a deal as my other problem.

The other problem is that the top cover is rather flimsy and does not stay on the device. It frequently falls of and I have to snap it back on. Just about every other time I use the device, simply picking up the lid causes it to snap off its' rather weak attachment to the keypad. It is annoying, not horrible, and the device still works fine. It pops back on just as easy as it pops off, but it is still a nuisance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the money, July 22, 2008

This remote control is very handy and is well worth the $30+. It is easy to set up (takes about 15 min. to attach to wall and program). Thing to watch out for is it stays activated for 30 sec after password is entered so you don't want to leave the garage area too soon lest someone may open your door without the password.

This review is from: Genie GWKPD-BL New Wireless Keypad with Intellicode (Tools & Home Improvement)

Easy to program, easy to install, easy to use. We have not found that the cover falls off with use when properly attached contrary to another review. I installed this on my own while my husband was out of town. With four drivers in our household now, this product is perfect. Everyone can enter through the garage with the push of a few buttons. Our ten year old now enters and exits the house this way to play, keeping cool air and bugs out of the house and maintaining the security of our garage and home.
