Doesn't work. Tried it a million times. Not sure what kinda crazy garage door I got but this DOES NOT WORK, not for me.

[JCHyke]

This video was great! So helpful.  It took me 2 minutes.  Done.   Some local guy wanted to charge me $160 to come out and do this.  Instead I watched this video and learned I could easily do it myself with the right knowledge.  Thanks!

[Ctatyk]

Perfect!
That was exactly what I needed.
No nonsense, right to the point!!
Thanks Jake!

10 years later the instructions still works as I just had to reset mine. 👊
I wonder where Jake is now. 😆

Thanks so much! We are 64 and 65 years old and could not figure out how to program a generic opener. Went right out and followed your directions-took minutes. Really appreciate your taking the time!

Essortment, I got zero help from the instructions on Mom's Liftmaster. She had me change the code; then the clickers wouldn't work (which is new). This video helped me get them working again; thank you very much and God bless you.

Thanks for the excellent, clear & concise instructions - done in 30 seconds!

The beauty of simple and to the point. Thank you so F' ing much. I have an old garage door opener and I could not find an easier more straight forward, simple video that got me going in literally 15 seconds. I was about to give up on the whole thing and spend a lot of money on new garage overhead door opener. Thanks.

[blazevich]

Thank you! This was a very helpful video: simple and straight to the point. Well done!

The instructions on the unit don't work 😆. You the man Jake.

Got to the step where you push the red button on the garage opener and my elbow is now stuck in my bathtub drain..
Any steps to solve or overpass this???

[CharlesSpringer]

Thank you so much. I had changed keypads earlier in the day. Got the keypad working but the remotes stopped. Did the procedure first on the handheld remote, and it worked. Then I did the second one that is part of the car and that one worked, too. Before I saw your video, I was seeing dollar signs for two new remotes. You are doing good, really appreciate the help.

Thank you, thank you!, thank you! You were right to the point, and I was able to program my garage door opener in 10 seconds!

October 10, 2019 this video still helped me. Thank you!!!

[jayblanchard]

Followed your instructions today and I was literally done in 5 minutes. Thank you for a clear concise well explained plan.

[kheramit]

how do you reprogram the new remotes with new codes? The process to change the codes is not clear.
