Safety first

Stay clear of the door while testing. Do not share or publish an access code.

Written steps

  1. Check that the keypad is dry and its buttons are not stuck.
  2. If it has a resident-accessible battery compartment, replace the battery with the same type.
  3. Enter the existing code once while standing clear of the door.
  4. If it still fails, request maintenance rather than attempting to reprogram the opener.

Stop and request maintenance if

  • The keypad is loose, cracked, wet, or has exposed wiring.
  • The door moves unexpectedly or stops partway.
  • The issue involves a lost or compromised access code.
