Very easy to program to a 20 year old garage door opener by using dip switches. Also easliy programmed to operate a new opener. I did both by following the excellent instructions included with the unit.

pros: compact, sturdy design, positive button feel, bright LED light, operates two different garage doors so it replaces two clickers. cons: weak power, shorter range than the stock clicker it was replacing, has to be held outside an open window for it to work.

Bought this and followed the programming instructions, several times. Everything seemed to work until I tested it. I called customer service. The automated system stepped me through setup again, but it still didn't work. I was then given the option of speaking to a live person, but after a seeming lifetime on hold I gave up. Customer service, with no estimated wait time and perpetual hold is not acceptable. I wasted a couple hours of my life on this and ultimately returned it for a refund.

The home I bought was eqipped with a Chamberlain garage door opener but no remote opener was supplied with it. The Chamberlain KLIK1U Clicker Transmitter Universal Garage Door Remote Control worked like a charm; it took me longer to first read the instructions than the actual installation took.

this remote works great it does everything that was described on the internet programming was so easy quick shipment too !!!! Thank You..AMAZON

Easy to program, pretty small, very lightweight and can be programmed for more than one type of opener. (I have a Chamberlain and a Genie and it works on both.

We actually still had one of the original remote from 1986 for our Chaimberlain door openers. Both doors had the same code so it was really frustrating before, but now I can open each one individually! Instructions are pretty easy to follow. Not a big deal at all having to click the button 15 times per door. Range is also good enough. Don't try to match the code on the original remote like I did. It doesnt recognize the 0 (middle) setting for the older openers. Just go ahead and change the code on your opener if it is the DIP switch type.

When we bought our house, it was an "as-is" deal and when the house was cleared out when the former owner ended up permanently hospitalized, whoever cleared it out took everything, including the remotes for the garage doors. I was looking for something that could control each of my doors separately and wasn't very expensive (after all, we'd just bought a house, so money was a little tight). So, we bought 2 of these units for our cars. Pairing them with our LiftMaster openers was simple and took a total of about 10 minutes. The only things that I'd say against these units is that they're a little cheaply made (but, then again they are inexpensive) and their range is not great - you basically have to be right in front of the door for them to work reliably. Sometimes they work from the end of our 25ft drive, but you can't count on it. But overall, they're not expensive, they work, and they're easy to program, so I'm happy with them.

This is a universal 2 - button remote that works on 390Mhz and 315Mhz rolling code freq or the older DIP switch settings technolgy. Very easy to set up. I have two garage doors one with a Genie opener system and one with a Chamberlain system; works well with both types.

Being down to our last remote for our old garage opener, I was beginning to wonder how to get another remote. I got this just for fun, I didn't think it would work, but it was inexpensive enough to try out. After reading the instructions, I was now absolutely positive it would not work. You have set dip switches (open your current remote and set it to the same dip switch pattern), and press the remote button a certain number of times (in my case 17 times). So here I am, pressing the button 17 times, thinking how stupid this is, but on the 17th press, amazingly the door opened. Of course, after you do this, you only have the press the button once to get it to work, but there seems to be a delay as it runs through your programming again.
