I agree, there does seem to be a common theme here. She doesn't tell
us the make/model, won't call manufacturer's customer service help,
doesn't have the manual, gets things installed assuming they will put
in
a Chamberlain because that's what was there before, etc.

...an won't ask a neighbor or her daughter to step up a ladder and
take a photo of the model label.


oh, that's an easy one: the neighbor will be too old and not have a
camera and she won't let the daughter do it because it's too dangerous

a bigger question is if the "garage" is too small for a car, why not
build a wall and use a regular door, and why does the daughter enter the
house thru the garage?


Lots of older "garages" are too small for a car, but the garage door
makes it easy to get the bikes, snowblower, lawnmower, and garbage
cans in and out. As for the daughter -- mabee she can't be trusted not
to lose the key????


I don't really want her climbing ladders. She had a stress fracture in her
back and then some problems following that. Husband and I are both disabled
but in different ways. Neither of us should climb a ladder but... In
looking it up online, the reprogramming is done totally at the Clicker
itself and not the garage door opener. But the three reviewers said it was
a PITA to try to reprogram so I don't want to try.
