How to Program a Stanley Garage Door Opener

Programming your Stanley garage door opener is an easy task. Even a novice can take care of this project within a short amount of time. Because people frequently use more than one garage door remote per garage door, this article will show you how to program your Stanley garage door opener so it functions with multiple remotes.

Things You'll Need

• Garage door remotes
• Stanley garage door opener
• Ladder

Instructions

1. Open up the battery compartment on your garage door remotes. The battery compartment, located on the back of the remote, simply slides off.

2. Note the binary rocker switches or the trinary switches in the battery compartment. A binary rocker switch has two sides. One side is "Open" or "Off" and the other side is "Closed" or "On." If your remote has a trinary switch, it should have a "+" on top, "0" in the middle and "-" on bottom. Use the toggle switches to change your garage door remote so they match these codes, and make sure every garage door remote has the same codes so they work properly.

3. Slide the battery compartment cover back on until it clicks back into place.

4. Climb your ladder so you can access the Stanley garage door opener on the ceiling of your garage.

5. Press the "Learn" button on the motor head of the unit. With that button depressed, press the button on your garage door remotes. This sets the transmitters of the remotes so they can operate the door opener.
