Fast, Secure Remote and Keypad Replacement
Fast, Secure Remote and Keypad Replacement
Remotes live rough lives in the Thompson-Shuswap. They bake on dashboards at 60°C+ in summer, freeze in car door pockets at -20°C in winter, and drain batteries twice as fast as the manufacturer specs thanks to the temperature extremes. By year four or five, most remotes need replacement - or sooner if you've lost one.
We carry LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Marantec, and universal remotes compatible with virtually every modern opener. If you don't know your opener's make or model, we can identify it on-site and match the right remote. Most replacements take under 30 minutes from arrival to programmed-and-tested.
Security matters - especially with lost remotes. A remote that fell out of your pocket at a trailhead can let whoever finds it open your garage. When we replace a lost remote, we clear all the old codes from your opener and reprogram fresh ones, locking out the missing unit completely. Same for selling a home or changing contractors: we can fully re-secure the opener.
We also install wireless keypads (great for keyless entry when you're walking or biking) and Wi-Fi smart modules that let you control and monitor the door from your phone. Especially useful in winter - you can confirm the door closed without stepping outside.

Why Choose Us for Remote Replacement
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do my remotes die so fast here?
Thompson-Shuswap temperature extremes drain lithium and alkaline batteries faster than cooler climates. Remotes left on dashboards or in cold cars see the worst of it. Keeping a spare indoors as a backup helps.
Can you replace a remote without the original?
Yes, our technicians can identify your opener brand and model on-site and program a compatible remote - no original needed.
Should I worry about a lost remote?
Yes. Reprogram your opener immediately. We can clear the old codes in about 15 minutes and program fresh remotes, effectively locking out the missing unit.
How much does a replacement cost?
$50-$120 including programming, depending on brand and features. Wireless keypads run $80-$150. Smart Wi-Fi modules $100-$200.
Can I add smart control?
Most openers less than 10 years old can add Wi-Fi modules for smartphone control. Older units may need compatible adapters. We can check what fits your opener.
