This product works perfectly to replace my garage door opener. i had no remote to my garage door when i moved into my house so i attached this to the button by my rear door and it works great, has about a 10-15 yard range so i can even have my door going up as i pull half way down my driveway even through the big metal door. instructions where easy as pie to follow and it was set up in less than 5 minutes from start to finish.
Works!

I have an old Sears Liftmaster. I went to Sears for a replacement remote and they couldn't help me because the opener was too old. I purchased the Skylink remote, installed it as instructed, and it worked perfectly. If you have a button on the wall wired to your opener, this remote will work.
Easy, Great Upgrade/Addition

I currently live in an apartment, and the garage door opener remote is a full size single button unit...great for your car/truck, etc. I own a motorcycle though, and the bigger remote was a pain. I had to store it under the seat where it barely fits, and take it out again when I got home and needed to open the door (especially miserable when it starts pouring rain on the way home)

I got this remote set, and literally had it installed in 2 minutes. Its a simple two wire hook up, with no polarity requirements. This means just put the wires together no +/- to worry about! I screwed the receiver unit to the stud in the wall, straightened out the antenna, and synced the remote to the receiver with a single button press on each unit.

The remote operates great, with a lot better distance than my previous unit...and having it on my key chain is gonna be great once motorcycle season starts up around here!

Excellent product, Highly recommended!
Genius idea

Reviewer: Jeffrey W. Davis,
I don't know why somebody didn't think of these things sooner. Bypass your huge garage door opener and use this keychain remote. Now I can carry an opener on my bike and don't have to worry about making sure I have my remote with me. If I have my key, I have my opener. The only downside in my case was that my old door openers do not supply power to the button through the existing wiring. An AC adaptor is available through the manufacturer, but they give you all the specs on their site, so I just matched up one of the umpteen power supplies I have from old drills and cell phones to get it to work. If that doesn't work, you can swing by a local supplier with your needs and you're good to go, but you'd have to have a really old opener for this not to work right out of the box.
Eartly 90s Stanley openers will require wall wart

Reviewer: blekenbleu,
I do not consider the remote small or light enough for a keychain,
but having only a single button and being smaller than visor remotes is good.
Range is comparable to that of larger remotes;
it would be worse if dangling low from an ignition switch.
The receiver wants more voltage than is available
at the button for Stanley openers from the early 90s.
Although a 12VDC supply is specified for older installations,
a 9VDC wall wart sufficed.
