Being down to our last remote for our old garage opener, I was beginning to wonder how to get another remote. I got this just for fun, I didn't think it would work, but it was inexpensive enough to try out.

After reading the instructions, I was now absolutely positive it would not work. You have set dip switches (open your current remote and set it to the same dip switch pattern), and press the remote button a certain number of times (in my case 17 times). So here I am, pressing the button 17 times, thinking how stupid this is, but on the 17th press, amazingly the door opened. Of course, after you do this, you only have the press the button once to get it to work, but there seems to be a delay as it runs through your programming again.

Here is the instructions from LiftMaster:

We have old Stanley door openers. Stanley is pretty lame that it no longer sells or supports them, so I was looking for a universal remote that could handle 2 doors for our second vehicle. It was a bit involved to program the 10 rocker dip switch, but the following the instructions to the letter worked perfectly. The hardest part was climbing up on a ladder to see the dip switch settings on the openers. The range is good, but not great -- definitely usable. I'm buying a second one for the other car to replace the original bulky one-door opener that came with the Stanley installation.

Pros:

Opens 2 doors

Truly universal, handles many manufacturers

Small size

Cons (minor):

Involved programming for dip-switch systems

Range

Thumbs up.

This is a universal 2 - button remote that works on 390Mhz and 315Mhz rolling code freq or the older DIP switch settings technolgy. Very easy to set up. I have two garage doors one with a Genie opener system and one with a Chamberlain system; works well with both types.

When we bought our house, it was an "as-is" deal and when the house was cleared out when the former owner ended up permanently hospitalized, whoever cleared it out took everything, including the remotes for the garage doors. I was looking for something that could control each of my doors separately and wasn't very expensive (after all, we'd just bought a house, so money was a little tight). So, we bought 2 of these units for our cars. Pairing them with our LiftMaster openers was simple and took a total of about 10 minutes. The only things that I'd say against these units is that they're a little cheaply made (but, then again they are inexpensive) and their range is not great - you basically have to be right in front of the door for them to work reliably. Sometimes they work from the end of our 25ft drive, but you can't count on it.

But overall, they're not expensive, they work, and they're easy to program, so I'm happy with them.

This worked very well with my old craftsman garage door system. Programmed in seconds...works like a charm. I would recommend this for anyone looking for an additional garage door opener for Craftsman systems

Easy to program, pretty small, very lightweight and can be programmed for more than one type of opener. (I have a Chamberlain and a Genie and it works on both.

I needed an additional remote for my daughter that has just got her license, and a new car! Universal remotes were priced in stores in the $30-50, including the exact same model that I purchased at Amazon for $13 +sh. Woo-hoo! Programming can be tricky if you don't read the instructions carefully. Usually, it's just a matter of setting the dip switches to match the settings on the garage door opener. But there was a glitch: my garage door opener had 3-position dips: positive, negative, and neutral. My new Liftmaster remote had only 2-positions: positive and negative. The solution in this case was to reset the dip switches in the garage door opener so that the neutral position was not used. When matched to the new remote, it worked perfectly. The down side was that the new settings required me to reprogram our existing garage door openers. All three are working well and everyone's happy.

I bought 3 of these for our 3 vehicles. They arrived in good time. They were ready to go. I just had to press the learn button on my garage door opener and they worked as they were advertised. The whole process took about 5 minutes for 3 remotes. The hardest part was climbing the ladder. I am very happy with the fact I now can open two different types of garage door opener ( liftmaster and genie ) with one remote. I live in a brand new house. I don't see why the original installation didn't come with these in the first place. Too easy.

Actually identical to the clicker version (http://www.amazon.com/Chamberlain-KLIK1U-Clicker-Transmitter-Universal/dp/B0013Q0S4S/ref=pd_sim_misc_3), but seems to have slightly better range to me than the clicker version. They program the same, are both easy as pie, and seem to work wonderfully. I couldn't be happier with this unit (although I've only had it a few days).

I used it for two garage openers, one with a dip switch and the other a Genie Intellicode. Works fantastic.
