This review is from: Stanley 1050 Garage Door Remote Transmitter (Misc.)
I just received my garage door opener in the mail. The instructions inside weren't very helpful but I did a quick internet search and found out how to program the remote. It was very easy and the remote works very good. My garage door opener is very old, 1985, so I was not sure if I would be able to find a remote that would work. The old system is a cut wire opener but this remote worked perfectly for it. I was going to spring more money for one that looked more stylish but wasn't sure of compatibility. I am happy with this remote and thanks to the other buyers comments I made the right choice, so thanks to those who left a review. If it helps anyone else I have a Stanley 1/4hp garage door opener and this remote worked for me.

This seems to be an exact replacement of the original opener that came with the garage door. The price was great -- cheaper than I could find at the local stores for a generic opener. It works as it should and has a longer range than the generic opener it replaced.

This winter the cold weather in Minnesota killed the batteries in my existing box-remotes. I needed something that I could bring indoors in my pocket while leaving the car parked outdoors for an extended period of time. I purchased two units from A Click Away Remotes, and I'm happy to say that they both work after properly configuring the dip-switches.
Initially, I thought I had one DOA remote (either the battery was dead, or the unit failed) and another remote didn't work after setting the dip-switches to what I thought was the proper position. I figured out that I had the switches flipped in the opposite direction (down needed to be up and up needed to be down - reverse to what my box-remote dip-switches were). Yeah, now one worked! After taking a closer look at the second 'DOA' remote I found that a plastic protection tab was placed between the battery and the metal spring clip attached to the circuit board. Once I removed the tab the remote worked just fine... Read more

I live in an apartment complex with a parking gate that uses a 300 Mhz, 10-pin door opener, like this one: 2 pack Linear 3089 Gate Opener or Garage Door Opener Remotes(See Tech. Details Below). I bought this mini-opener to carry in my pocket to use on my bike. Zero problems so far. Works from a decent range, even with cars, trees, small animals in the way. (No small animals were harmed during the use of this device.)

Picked this up through amazon seller Door Openers and More. It took an extra week compared to my amazon.com package from the same order that day. No big deal, just letting people know it takes a few days longer than amazon packages.
ITEM DETAILS: The item is grade A what I expected and hoped for. 300mhz, 10 switch, One button. A little more grey than what is pictured, but still a very light grey color casing. The battery has a plastic slip so it does not drain the tiny battery while in the mail. You will need a VERY small phillips screw driver to remove the one screw that holds it all together. Then you will be able to set the 10 switches to your unique code and then unplug the plastic battery safety slip to enable the battery. The switches are VERY small, so I used my mini screwdriver to pry apart the case, and then used it to set the switches. The keychain clasp is pretty durable it appears, I trust it on my key set.

This opener is fairly easy to install, with mostly well-illustrated instructions overall, in spite of a couple of inconsistencies in the installation manual's text and in the parts drawings. The text instructions seem likely to have been written by someone who speaks English as a FIRST language too, which is unusual these days, and which helps to speed things along....The actual assembly of the main components and wiring the system are a breeze.
The quality of the parts OVERALL seems decent, although I noticed that a significantly lighter weight steel and smaller gauge fasteners are used for the bracketry and rail system than had been used with my older 1/3hp chain driven unit (20-25 years) which had also been Chamberlain-(Sears private labeled) model. That may be a part of why this new one still flexes considerably-in spite of the square cross section of the new rail (vs "t" section) and is actually louder in operation than the old one had been...

My husband who is quite handy thought this product was not so easy to install. It really depends on your door and your current setup. The door sensor does not mount to the rail because our garage door hardware that extends beyond the track. In that case, you need creativity to mount the sensors to the garage walls(oftentimes concrete walls). The door won't work without the sensors. We had little clearance in the ceiling area. The directions state that you need two inches, but because of the hardware, you actually need a good 4 inches from the ceiling which we did not have. Also be sure to read the directions completely before you start as my husband made at least two trips to the hardware store in addition to his initial trip. Be sure to read the directions about reinforcing the door if it is not a solid door. You will need bracing for the door which will require some creativity.
Afterall is said and done, the door works well, quieter than our previous door,... Read more
