I have a 9 yr. old Sears opener that is giving me fits. I can't program both remotes to work at the same time. Each will work, but not at the same time. What am I doing wrong??? Thanks Fred

Wow! 2 different people with the exact same problem at the same time. What are the odds?

Hi, Multi post and top posting is bad! I think your remotes are out of frequency alignment aainst receiver on the opener. Can you pick/try different code?(usually by dip switch settings.

They change frequencies automatically. Each will work alone, but can not be programmed to work at the same time. You program one and it kills the other.

I can stand on a ladder at the opener control panel, and it still will not work both. There is little time lost when trying to program them. It seems like programming one kills the programming for the other.

I can't find my book but I think there is a pretty short time window in which you have to set up all the remotes you want to use.

Odds are you can find what you need to know here:

or else by using google. You don't give us the model number, and I don't have ESP, so it's up to you now...

I have a single garage door (faces west), and a double (faces south west).
Each garage door opener came with two remotes, each having dual buttons. The installer some how got all four remotes to work as intended (large button is double door and small one for the single door)
I think his trick - one remote in each hand as he programmed them. He made it look simple.

Well why did they work before?

I looked at the cheat sheet I wrote on the side of the opener with a sharpie pen. I wrote "in 30 seconds" with a circle around it so I bet that is the window.
