Identifying if Your Garage Door Opener Is a New or Old Model

Before identifying what type of model your garage door opener is, first make sure that there are no electrical problems affecting your opener. If there are, you’ll need to contact a professional to handle those issues, like the team at Glenn’s Garage Doors. 

If there are no electrical problems, then you can start identifying your garage door opener. The easiest, and most common way of identifying the type of garage door opener you have is to open it up and take a peek inside. If your model is newer, you should see a button on the inside, if your model is older, you should see a series of switches instead. If you have trouble identifying which model yours is, contact a professional.

Resetting an Older Model Garage Door Opener

Just because the garage door opener is an older model does not mean resetting will be more difficult. The best way to rest an older garage door opener with switches is to set the switches into the same position between the remote and the main unit. After you have matched up the switches, you will be okay to put the cover back on the garage door opener and test to see if the switches are aligned properly.

Resetting a Newer Model Garage Door Opener

Resetting a newer model should be relatively easy. First, identify the button located on the opener, it should be located near an LED light, or near the garage door opener’s antenna. At this point, it would be best to either research the model of the garage door opener online or consult the instruction manual to find out the specific process of resetting the opener. Generally,, most systems will have you hold down the button for five seconds, or until the LED light starts to blink.
