Garage door opening randomly

[95DRGT]

I recently programmed my external keypad that opens my garage door. Every since then the door will open randomly (never close) on its own. At first I thought it was my kids not closing it but I have witnessed it myself several times now.

I thought maybe a neighbors opener picked up my code when I was re-programming the external keypad. Each time it has opened that I have witnessed there was no activity by my neighbors garage doors though.

I even have an 'lock' feature that we set each night that would prevent the external keypad from being used or a clicker. However even this has been defeated which baffles me to how this freaking thing is opening on its own.

Any ideas or resident garage door experts please chime in......

Liftmaster- don't think its brand specific issue- short somewhere maybe???

You may be sharing a code with a neighbor. They can have a decent range. It happens occasionally.

This...I've had that happen before. Just change codes and you probably won't have the issue anymore.

sorry bout that, I had to split in a hurry, and must have tripped the optical sensor in my haste.

Clear all the programmed remotes (including keypad), and try to program everything.

Thanks- I'll give it a shot. Its so random it will be a few days before I know if this works.

Hey, 95DRGT!!
I think I can help you and I believe if it works then you can use my suggestion every time when ever you find any kind of problem
Can you tell me have you ever tried to Re-Program it?? If not please try to do so, it would definitely help you to sort out with your problem, and if considering me then I used to try this method when I used to have problems!!
