What You’ll Need

Before you start programming your garage door keypad, you’ll need to gather a few items:

  3. Release the “learn” button.

Your garage door opener’s memory is now cleared.

Setting up Your PIN

Now that you’ve cleared your garage door opener’s memory, you’ll need to set up your PIN. Your PIN is a four-digit code that you’ll use to open and close your garage door using your keypad.

Here’s how to set up your PIN:

  1. Press and hold the * and # buttons on your garage door keypad until the light on the keypad blinks.
  2. Enter your desired four-digit PIN using the keypad.
  3. Press and hold the # button until the light on the keypad blinks twice.

Your PIN is now set.

Programming the Keypad

Now that your PIN is set, you can program your keypad to work with your garage door opener. Here’s how:

  1. Locate the “learn” button on your Chamberlain garage door opener.
  2. Press the “learn” button once. The LED light beside it will turn on.
  3. Within 30 seconds, enter your four-digit PIN on your garage door keypad and press the # button.
  4. The LED light on your garage door opener will flash to confirm that the keypad is programmed.

Testing Your Keypad

Now that your keypad is programmed, it’s time to test it out. Here’s how:

  1. Close your garage door using your remote or your garage door opener button.
  2. Wait for the garage door to close completely.
  3. Enter your four-digit PIN on your garage door keypad and press the # button.
  4. The garage door should open.

If the garage door doesn’t open, repeat the programming process.

Troubleshooting

If you’re having trouble programming your garage door keypad, here are a few things to check:

  • Make sure the keypad is within range of the garage door opener.
  • Make sure you’re entering your four-digit PIN correctly.
  • Make sure the garage door opener’s antenna wire is hanging down and not wrapped around the opener.
