Craftsman CMXZDCG453 3-Button Garage Door Remote, Black

Easy to setup

This opener remote works very well. Purchased to replace a broken opener remote for a Craftsman garage door opener which is probably around 20yrs old (it was here when we bought the house). I wanted to get the Craftsman brand instead of a generic to ensure compatibility, but had to order from Amazon because they don't seem to sell these at retail stores in Canada since Sears folded. So it goes. Anyway, programming this controller with the existing opener was simple. Took less than five minutes following the included instructions. This controller works perfectly and the range is better than the other controllers we have. The one flaw, though, is the physical design of the unit. The front of the box has an outward/convex curve to it, so that if you clip it to your car's sun visor (as we all do) the centre button can press against the roof of your car if the visor is up. The button is so sensitive this can trigger the garage door opener simply by driving within range with the visor up. In my case, I drop my kid off at daycare then drive back past the house to leave the neighbourhood for work. Imagine my surprise when I spotted my garage door opening by itself! Pulled over, closed it, all good... but if I hadn't noticed, the house would've been sitting wide open all day! It's simple enough to remedy - put the remote somewhere else where it won't get jostled. I simply put it on the other side of the visor so it's not pressing against the roof of the car. But still, something to be aware of if you pick this replacement unit. This would've been 4.5 stars if half-stars were a thing. So it goes.

After trying to program several different remotes claiming to work with the garage door opener, this one finally worked and was the easiest to program!

This didn't connect with my garage door so I returned it. I'm sure if it connected it would have worked great

Very easy to integrate with my existing system.
