While a missing remote is inconvenient the good news is replacing the remote isn t complicated. Fortunately enough people either lose their garage door openers or have some kind of power outage that prevents garage doors from opening so manufacturers have allowed doors to open rather easily without one. If you have lost or misplaced your garage door remote you can buy a universal garage door opener. Having 2 or 3 different garage door remotes is a good idea in case you misplace one or if a battery needs replaced.

A missing garage door remote results in the inability to enter or exit a garage and a lack of protection for possessions stored in the room. The remote to your garage door is basically a key to your home. Often times your garage door will come with two sets of door control remotes. If you have lost a garage door remote it s time to erase the lost remote from the memory of your opener and to reset the code.

If your garage door remote is really gone. The first step is to disable the remote. By erasing the memory and resetting the code you ensure your lost garage door remote will no longer work.
