My Garage door remote 139.53681B is not working. I changed the battery and still does not work. I have not reprogrammed it because I need to know if reprogramming will mess up my keypad entry code.

Ken, you may have to reprogram transmitter after battery change, check your manual, if you do not have manual, Google search your make and model# manual.

Why wont my 3 remotes (hand held & factory in remote)only work to open the door ? They no longer work to open the door.I did replaced the batteries and reprogramed, craftsman 3/4hp chain drive

It could be that your door is binding on the way up and so it stops automatically. Try releasing the emergency pull cord and move the door up and down by hand to see if it is binding, probably near the bottom. The track may be misaligned or there could be something rubbing against the door.

I have a Lift-Master Security remote garage door opener. It has a new battery. Can it be reprogrammed or do I have to replace the remote?\r\nThank you for your assistance. Model number971LM. It will...

ANY TIME YOU CHANGE THE BATTERY IN A REMOTE IT NEEDS TO BE REPROGRAMED.

ON THE CIRCUIT BOARD YOU WILL FINS A SQUARE BUTTON.
PRESS AND RELEASE NOW HOLD DOWN THE BUTTON ON THE REMOTE FOR ABOUT 20 SECONDS. WHEN YOU PRESS THE REMOTE THE NEXT TIME THE DOOR SHOULD OPEN.

Garage door opener will not respond to security plus remotes

Reset the Liftmaster unit. There should be a red reset button on the unit in the garage. If this does not work, reset the breaker. Good Luck!
