Shorten the antenna wire to reduce the distance it will pick up signal and/or fill the memory with new remote codes from a new and different remote.

You have a code inside of the remote, which is accessed by taking the back off. The numbers need to match the code that you have in the unit in your garage. What you do, is click any one or two numbers up on you remote, than match the number on the garage door opener so it will work, You will need to remove the face on the garage door unit, usually where the light is than the next time your neighbor opens his garage door, yours should stay closed...it will require a step ladder for your garage unit...not a difficult job.

Door opens randomly on its own!

can you change the toggle switches in the remote and door controller to a different code than it is set on now. Like the two devices must match but hopefully the neighbor code for their door will then be different. Also can you change the frequency ?

One of my garage door openers opens up my neighbors garage door opener 2 doors down. What can I do to fix that?

Last year, I got a brand new garage door and it kept opening up my neighbor's garage door as well. It turned out that we had the exact same type of garage doors that were happening to work on the same frequency. Lucky for you, though, it's not terribly too tough to change the frequency and make it so that both of your doors aren't opening and closing at the same time. All you have to do is get someone to reprogram the door or find a way to do it yourself. All American Garage Door

FOR GENIE GARAGE DOOR OPENER ICA SERIES WITH INTELLICODE REMOTE CONTROL SERIES II ELECTRONICS. PROGRAMED REMOTE FOR NEIGHBORS DOOR, WHRN NO LONGER NEEDED THE ACCESS I RE-PROGRAMED TO MY DOOR. NOW BOTH...

First you want to clear both Garage Door Openers. To clear the openers you need to locate the learn code button. This button is (usually) under the white lens cover just push it and hold it in until the red light stops flashing then do the same thing to your other opener. This clears out all remote controls that are programmed to these openers. Try the remote to make sure the units were properly cleared. Neither opener should activate if this was done correctly. After units are properly cleared push the learn code button on the opener that you want this remote to open. The learn code led will flash, then press the button on the remote once (learn code goes solid), press the remote a second time ( learn code goes out). Press the remote a 3rd time and opener should activate.
