Clearing garage door codes is an essential task to ensure the security of your garage and prevent unauthorized access.

I’ll provide the instructions based from my experience and by following steps from Atlanta Garage Door on clearing the garage door codes:

  1. First and foremost, I prioritize safety. I ensure there are no obstructions in the path of the garage door and that no one is underneath it. Safety is crucial throughout this process.
  2. I locate the “Learn” or “Program” button on the motor unit of my garage door opener. It’s usually positioned near the antenna wire or at the back of the motor unit. If I have trouble finding it, I refer to the manual for guidance.
  3. With the “Learn” or “Program” button identified, I press and hold it down. As I do this, the LED light on the motor unit turns on or starts flashing, indicating that it’s in programming mode. I continue holding the button until I’m ready to clear the codes.
  4. To erase all existing codes, I locate the “Code” or “Erase” button on the wall-mounted control panel inside the garage. While still holding down the “Learn” or “Program” button on the motor unit, I press and hold the “Code” or “Erase” button for a few seconds. This action triggers the indicator light on the wall panel to flash or produces a beep sound, signifying that the codes have been cleared from the opener’s memory.
  5. Once I’ve cleared the codes, I release both the “Learn” or “Program” button on the motor unit and the “Code” or “Erase” button on the wall-mounted control panel. The LED light on the motor unit may turn off or stop flashing, indicating that the codes have been successfully cleared.
  6. To ensure everything is working correctly, I test the functionality of the garage door. Standing inside the garage, I press the wall-mounted control button to open and close the door. If the door operates smoothly without any issues, it confirms that the clearing process was successful.
  7. Now, I can proceed to reprogram the remotes and keypads that I want to have access to the garage door. I refer to the manual provided with my specific garage door opener for detailed instructions on how to program them.
    • For remote controls: I typically need to press the “Learn” or “Program” button on the motor unit once, release it, and then press the button on the remote control that I wish to program. The LED light on the motor unit should flash or briefly turn on to indicate that the remote control has been successfully programmed.
    • For keypads: I follow the instructions in the manual to program the keypad. This usually involves entering a specific code or series of buttons on the keypad and then pressing the “Learn” or “Program” button on the motor unit.
  8. After programming the remotes and keypads, I test each one to ensure they are functioning correctly. I stand at a reasonable distance from the garage door and press the respective buttons on the remotes or enter the code on the keypad to open and close the garage door. I repeat this process for each remote and keypad that I’ve reprogrammed.
  9. Once I’ve confirmed that all the reprogrammed remotes and keypads are working properly, I securely store them in a designated place. It’s essential to keep them out of reach of unauthorized individuals to maintain the security of my garage.

By following these steps from Atlanta Garage Door, I successfully clear the garage door codes and reprogram the remotes and keypads that I want to use for accessing my garage. I always refer to my specific garage door opener’s manual for any model-specific instructions or troubleshooting steps.
