    Garage door opener?

    I was wondering how bikers use their garage door opener. Mine is really bulky, so I don't really like putting it in my jacket pocket. But if there was an easy way of using it I would, because its easier than opening door then opening garage from inside.

    Can you get small openers, of a similar size to car alarm buttons, and program them to my garage door?

    I push the little black button on the right switchblock.

    Is that the original opener that you got when you got the garage? How did you get it on your bike?

    previous house had a big button which use to sit in jacket pocket. never had an issue unless i went with leathers rather hard to fit wallet, cellphone, garage door opener all in one small pocket, so sometimes stored it under the rear cowl

    new house,has those small key chain buttons, which is on my normal house keys which just sitsin jacket pocket with wallet/cellphone

    Surely any garage door company could sell you a single small remote and go program it for your frequency.

    I have a few with mine, mich smaller than the big remote and fits nicely in the pocket or keyring.

    Depends on your brand of opener. I remember looking into it a few years ago and even though the opener was almost new no keychain opener was available

    Shit, i wounder if i could sort this out . . no1 each auto door opener eg merlin , dominator, ata, windsor , parker, the remote will only operate the same brand , no2 any machine that is 10 year old, the remotes are no longer made , except tiltamatic ahi. , heres the easy way out key ring remote , buy a merlin upgrade kit ,and fit it to any autodoor opener, who's got them, ME


    So what i am saying, do not loose your remote if it is an old type, you will not be able to replace it
