- Beth Luxon Aug 2, 2017this happened to me when the new neighbors down the road reprogrammed their remote-- when they pressed it passing my house up it went. So yes, reset it to new settings.HelpfulReply
- Paton Aug 2, 2017If all connections are working and batteries are not in need of change I would alter the code perhaps someone has a device in neighborhood that is interferingHelpfulReply
- Sharonon Aug 2, 2017Oh I had that problem once when I lived in the burbs, builders who build homes the same use same brand, and neighbors would open/close their doors at odd hours or worst when I was away working. First I tried changing the codes, but that didn't work. So I had to order and install a little electronic board that cost about $65 to stop it. Visit your manufactures website, or call them, but first climb up on a ladder and get the model # and serial #.HelpfulReply

Williamon Aug 2, 2017If you have an older opener with a programmable remote change the code in the remote and opener to match. Most newer openers have a rotating code module built in so the code changes automatically every time the door is opened and closed. I remember installing a new opener for a friend about 10 years ago. I programmed the codes with the numbers he gave me. After installing and programming, I stepped out of the garage to test it. Pressed the remote button. His and two other neighbors on his block doors opened. I quickly pressed the button and all the doors closed. Had to change the code on his remote and opener by one number. I panicked at the time but laugh when we talk about it now.HelpfulReply

- Williamon Aug 2, 2017Hate to say this, but criminals sometimes just drive around with garage remotes looking for garages that open. They do this several times over a period of time then stop. The homeowners think it was a glitch and when they don't suspect it, they're home is burglarized. That's why newer openers (past 20 years) and remotes have a rolling code.HelpfulReply
