It's a common story. You're driving home from work and you reach your garage door opener only to find that the "learn" button has been pressed, and now it no longer recognizes your automatic opener remote. This is a real problem for many homeowners, but don't worry - it doesn't have to be expensive! In this article, we'll show you how to reprogram your Florida garage door opener in six simple steps.

Step 1: Locate the battery on the opener and remove it from its holder

Step 2: Use a Phillips head screwdriver or an Allen wrench to remove the cover plate of the receiver that's attached to your garage door, if one is fitted. Gently wiggle off any screws that are holding it in place and set them aside

Step 3: Locate your garage door receiver and flip it over, so the bottom faces up. Then take out two wires from their sockets by turning them counterclockwise with a flathead screwdriver. One of these is for power supply and the other transmits data between the remote unit and opener.

Step 4: Remove any cables from the back of your remote control and install them with their corresponding connections at either ...
... side of your receiver box by matching up red wires with red connectors and black wires with black connectors. Plug the other end into their ports where they will be held in place with a clip.

Step 5: The fifth step is to locate the programming button on your garage door opener receiver or remote control and press it. If you have a homelink compatible garage door opener, you may need to push the same button multiple times while holding the remote up to your car's homelink sensor until it eventually beeps and resets. This can take up to 15 seconds so you'll know when it's done if the garage door opens or closes.

Step 6: While pushing and holding down your garage door opener's programming button, point your remote control at the receiver for five seconds then release. Now press and release the button on your remote control that you use to open your garage door until it beeps and opens.
