The first garage door opener remotes were invented almost a century ago, but believe it or not, it took nearly 40 years for them to catch on commercially. People continued opening and closing their garages manually throughout the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s before the 1970s hit and they finally realized that there was a better way — pushing a button! — to get the job done. Since then, the only time that most homeowners have opened and closed their garage doors by hand is when they have lost their remotes or when their remotes have simply stopped working.
If you don’t have access to a remote for your garage door opener for one reason or another, Amazon can help you replace it without forcing you to spend a small fortune. The retailer has a pair of CreaCity Universal Garage Door Opener Remotes on sale for $12 — down from $17 — which is usually the regular price for a single remote.
These black remotes are compatible with most of the Chamberlain, Craftsman, and Liftmaster garage door openers introduced since 1993. They’re designed to work within 120 feet of garage door openers, and you can use them to control up to three garage doors simultaneously. They’re also equipped with state-of-the-art rolling code technology that prevents radio wave interference and minimizes the chances of would-be intruders gaining access to your garage and the rest of your house.
However, the best part about these remotes is just how simple it is to program them to work with your specific garage door opener. Even if you don’t know what kind of opener you have or where its “Learn” button is, CreaCity provides clear, easily understandable instructions that will have your new remotes working in no time.
“They’re extremely easy to program and work flawlessly with my garage door opener,” one reviewer wrote. “I programmed them in less than a minute.”
Another reviewer agreed, writing, “They paired easily with my older garage door opener. The instructions were easy to follow.”
