Omg. Watched video….went to garage, got a ladder, climbed up ladder, hit learn button. BAM. Awesome! Took me longer to type a comment! Thank you!!!!

[@randomname9758]

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

[@Bigmac-310]

12 years later and im wondering the same thing

[@teriwhit2283]

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!

[@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!

[@JuanCarlosNieves]

Same case with me, once I paid, second time I just searched for it and here it is!

[@toppedgeared1350]

J.C. Hyke did it in 5 seconds 😂

[@dollarking9641]

Basted wanted $160

[@ojrowland]

I was charged $180

[@rogereyre6933]

Thanks JC they want to do the same thing to me just figured this out can't believe that the lady at the office didn't tell me how easy this was they were trying to scam me I'm not wise to that

[@heathmanb2]

4/14/2020 - spent 30 minutes screwing around with the side sensors before I watched this video, and in 10 seconds the solution was pushing the reset button on the overhead unit and I was back in business.. thank you!!!

[@Ctatyk]

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

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.

[@bowe1978]

Had a spare in junk drawer for years, hit the button on back of unit as you said, held down button on remote next to unit, Bam! 6 seconds, done!! Thanks a bunch!!!

[@chipper1112]

I lost my directions to the new garage opener remote that I got for Christmas, and with the help of your easy to follow video, I had it working in less than 2mins. Thank you for the video

[@celiaosborne3801]

Thank you Jacob, I was at loss reading the motor and the remote instructions and with your advice it worked!

[@robertsteiner3423]

We watched numerous videos trying to get our Raynor opener to communicate with a new to us Mazda. This one worked on the first try. Thank you.

[@gemtester3051]

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

[@tellthetruthna8523]

Thank you! I've watched 2 videos on the subject and now I am ready to replace my garage door openers myself. Love these "how to" YT videos.

[@eugeneroering6813]

Thank you for the informative video. Programed two remotes in under 30 seconds. The direction provided by the remote control company were confusing and did not work. You are a lifesaver!

[@jtnicho1]

Jake, you're the man! Straight to the point

[@MRKNIGHT]

Great video. Short, sweet and easy directions. I’ve used it twice over three years and worked both times.

[@abigailxchaella]

[@knifespirits]

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.

[@LaLechoncita]

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.

[@webheathswain]

Thanks for the instructions here, worked just as you said that it would.

[@chiriqui1000]

Thanks my friend, great video.....!!!

[@johndurland1966]

Thank you! Took a while to find the learn button, it was quite small and out of the way. Took two tries to make it work and I did not hear a "click" like he says, but the light on the learn button blinked twice when it had learned the new remote and worked wonderfully after that!

[@garypritchard9787]

Thank you Jake for making it so easy!! You rock!!

[@patriciamoore6465]

[@andreaacornejo6564]

My remote doesn't work im not sure if its my batteries 2023 because I have a liftmaster 895Max 3-Button multi frequency and when i push it with my tool in the battery the blue lights turn on but when i dont they turn off.. Does that mean its my batteries that need a bigger size? Or my remote needs to be reprogrammed? Im so confused and need to open my garage for the winter
