Is this normal behavior, or have I gotten two faulty keypads by
coincidence? Or could I (heaven forbid!) have made some sort of
installation mistake?!

John,

I installed a Sears remote opener like you described a couple of years
ago. I remember when I first got it it seemed to mis-enter a lot but
that seemed to get better after a few uses. I probably use the keypad
once a week or so. I recall the problems went away after a couple of
months. If the door opens at all I doubt you made an installation
mistake.

I put my keypad opener on the garage trim right by the door. I don't
know for sure what the range of the device is but I would suspect the
closer the better. Any chance that you have it too far away?
