Default Garage door opener

I posted the wrong model number. Under the front light cover, the Model is 13561.

I've folded the antenna wire in half but the garage opener still operates when the remote control is more than 200 feet away.

I then coiled the antenna wire but the opener still operates when the remote control is more than 200 feet away.

What do I need to do so the opener operates only when the remote is within 100 feet?


Try wrapping the remote completely in aluminum foil. If this kills its
signal output enough that it won't activate the opener at all, or only
if very close to opener, then begin removing a bit of foil, a little
at a time, until it won't work past 100 feet.

If fully covered, and it still operates, then put the remote somewhere
it does not get "bumped" ;-)

Good Luck........
