How to buy a second garage remote control?

I loss one of my garage remote control, would like to get one for spare. However, I still have one that genius and currently still working. Does Bunnings able to copy one, like key cutting? And how will be the coding, will it be hard? Or I can just get one universal one to pair with my current remote control?

 

Thank you!

Re: How to buy a second garage remote control?

Hi @Kiko,

 

We have a variety of remotes from common brands that could be a straight swap for your missing remote. Typically, if you're replacing a remote, they'll have mini switches inside them that can be set to the same as your current remote. This is not a hard process. If you cannot purchase a remote and key it to suit your existing remote, I'd suggest going with a Liftaway LAUVR1 Universal Garage Door Remote. This universal remote is compatible with a long list of garage door openers, and you can use it to duplicate your current remote.

 

If one of our suppliers manufactured your door opener, I'd be happy to contact them to find out if there's a direct replacement on offer.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Mitchell
