Top Tips For Fixing Common Garage Door Keypad Issues
By Kyle Schurman
If you need to open the garage door but your keypad is not working, it could be due to a drained battery, programming memory loss, or poor installation.
Check the potentially easiest solutions first. The keypad will nearly always have a battery inside the cover with either a 9v, AA, or AAA battery.
Reprogramming may be needed, and if so, find a button marked with "learn" or "reset.” Press and hold this button for a few seconds. Type a four-digit code and press the Enter key.
You should see the light on the garage door housing flash once or twice to indicate the new code. Give it a few seconds, and then test the new code.
The keypad might be simply worn out. A keypad lasts about 10 years, and keys may stop working as it ages, so using different keys may allow the keypad to start working again.
