Oh, my gosh! Thank you so much for this video. I had no idea it required a battery. I'm an 80-year-old widow who just saved herself over a hundred bucks thanks to you!! I'm now a subscriber!

I googled to search buying a replacement keypad because we had to press combination keys hard and it didn't work most of the time. Then searched for a how to video. Yours popped up, and was so clear and explanatory. What a great tip to change to unused numbers! It took 5 minutes to reset and bingo...works like new. Thank you! Liked and subscribed😊

Sir, you just saved me a BUNCH of money! 💰 I did everything you said, but what REALLY helped me was you showing me where to locate the screws to remove the keypad since it's not near the garage door, but around the corner right outside my front door. You're a Godsend, sir. For making this video, I say: THANK YOU!!! Jonathan Sacramento, California

Thank you for the video! I had changed my combination because the keypad numbers worn down. I was able to break open the keypad and clean off the circuit -with steel wool - where the pads had left residue on the circuit. Glued back together and all good!

Tip: remember to inspect each key especially the enter key. Sometimes the rubber coating gets stuck depressed inwards. The keypad will not longer work if this happens. Gently pry outwards any stuck keys with your fingernail and try again.

Wow, great video! I had no idea that the keypad was not hard wired. My door problems seemed to have started when I programmed a new car to the opener this weekend. Today, I cleaned the light sensors at the bottom of the door and my wife was able to open the door with her remote again. My new car will open the door from the mirror, but the dang keypad for some reason won’t work. I replaced the battery, but no go. My next move is to reset the keypad to the door opener and if that doesn’t work, try to change the code. Thank you so much.

As a human, I appreciate people who treat others and live by the golden rule. Christians do not have a monopoly on morals and ethics. I actually find that many self proclaimed religious people find some need in it. I do not. And can also improve upon biblical morals. Does this make me a better person than god? Maybe… in theory it does, that’s a fact. Just being a bit of a smart booty but I had to. Free will is also not a thing… spread love and be kind. I hope you can hear this msg in a positive and kind tone as that’s what I intend it to be heard with… the golden rule sure does go a long long way. But to get us the rest the way to near perfect action is to also not assume others want to be treated exactly like we do and ask. And as long as the treatment doesn’t violate a law or your own set of morals and ethics that’s actually an even better way to go about it… anyway, just trying to make the Bible better.. and don’t forget to change your garage key pad and batteries!
