Good idea. I have never seen that blasted controller it is so high up….the building 60x40 with two large commercial doors. I am going to use some binocs from the office level and see if I can see a button. My luck it’ll be on the other side of the damn controller.
many of the liftmaster hard wired buttons at ground level you can lift the face of the open/close button and the learn button is underneath
Older than this pad. The doors can be opened by a three button gang, two green and one red.many of the liftmaster hard wired buttons at ground level you can lift the face of the open/close button and the learn button is underneath
So its a commercial opener more than likely, brand new commercial units still use that style of buttons.
That's what I was wondering........and abruptly stopped.
That's a normal commercial unit. I've never seen that plastic opener control.
We have a liftmaster and I never paid any attention to what was under the little flap on the hardwired remote. You can program from there.
Programming a fob from another fob would be great….I do not want to get hurt in a crippling accident doing some stupid **** with a ladder and a foot stool.
I have not used this device:
From that description, I bet you have a Liftmaster MJ series opener. If it’s a jack shaft opener, you’ll have to remove the grey metal cover to get to the button. BTDT…

If that's true I agree. OTOH he may not have a button to push if he has the unit I linked. No rolling code either.
I think the suggestion is to just install another "simple" receiver at the "door open" button (if one is available). You're just closing a contact.
I was under the impression that dip switches and rolling codes are different things. The DIP switch openers don't need a "program" button, they just match the code. Rolling code, you have to train the TX to the RX.... Maybe there is an opener that has both for "more security" - dunno? My openers have always been DIP or rolling code, not both...

No. We have 6 of the same rolling code receivers on our firehouse doors. Push button to learn the remote code for each. Each also had to have a different setting on the dip switches so they don’t interfere with each other. I learned the hard way during setup around ten years ago. That’s how that particular iteration worked. I’m pretty sure that it’s already changed to a different rolling code setup since then.
Cool….the one and only remote we have is a two button remote, one for the front another for the back doors. I will send a picture. I think i scared up a scissor lift from a friend of a friend. BTW, this was installed in the late 70s early 80s.Looks like this unit. It's an add on receiver and programmed with DIP switches. It may be worth upgrading to a more modern receiver unit. Perhaps your existing remote has matching DIP switches and you can copy the code to another remote.
YMMV

Purchase a 300 MHz radio receiver for your garage door opener online! This 3-tab model is compatible with MultiCode transmitter with 10 ON/OFF dip switches.
Is this the unit you have?
YES…THAT looks very similar!Is this the unit you have?
Before you climb up there, open up the existing remote and look for 2 sets of DIP switches (since it's a 2 button remote)
Copy that pattern into a new remote or two.

Open it up and copy the dip switch settings to clone the remote. I'm surprised a commercial place would still use that old technology. Way too easy to steal the codes. Time for an upgrade. Your insurance carrier would probably insist if they knew.
