My craftsman garage door opener opens my neighbors garage.

Each time you use your remote control it seeds your receiver with new coding for the next operation. Your neighbor s receiver happens to randomly operate whenever your unit s coding matches your neighbor s much broader coding range. If this does not fix the situation then you may need to replace the garage door opener or the circuit board to get to a different frequency. In rare instances a nearby neighbor may have a garage door opener set to the same wireless code as your opener.

It all depends on the configuration but you likely have a button that activates the door operator. And bingo your remote opens your neighbor s garage door along with your garage door. This is rare but it does occasionally happen. When the garage door tracks or rollers are damaged or the garage door is not balanced your craftsman opener will stop when opening.

The new openers are all electronic. I also have a sears 139. The door operator button is similar to a door bell. If your neighbors garage door remote is opening your garage door the first thing to do is reset the codes using the dip switches or learn button.

And i am having to buy a new garage door opener because of my neighbors new garage door remotes open my garage door which has a 1992 sears garage door opener. Check for binding or sticking of the garage door. It is quite easy to check just have your neighbor activate his or her garage door and see if your door begins to move. The button can easily get dirty and stuck in the pushed position.
