Default Garage Door Opener Range.

This new, very well-insulated, foil-backed, house has one drawback...
the garage door opener range with the garage door closed is only about
20'

Any ideas on how I could extend that range?


You could work on improving the antenna, or you could just put the
receiver outside and run a wire to it from the opener. I believe the
"antenna" on the units I have seen is just a piece of wire hanging from
the unit a foot or so. Not much to work with there... at least I would
find it easier to just move the receiver to the outside of the house.
