ELECTRIC GARAGE DOOR OPENERS

These may be purchased at most any hardware store and then used to open any electric garage door if whoever installed your particular electric garage door opener never changed the factory code of your hand-held or keyless remote for your garage door. Any of these remote garage door openers set at the same factory code will open any electric garage door.

In a test, a street was picked at random and garage door after garage door automatically opened up using a cheap, store bought remote, surprising many unsuspecting residents! To their surprise their factory codes on their remotes had never been changed.

The garage door installers just install doors and may not pay much attention or really care about changing the factory codes on the remotes.
