| I had 2 Craftsman Garage Door Openers. One is 10 years old and one is more than 10 years old.
The older one died last week. I replaced it with a 1/2 HP 315Mhz Model that looked exactly the same. The door button, the hand button and car buttons all work. The only thing I can't get to work is the keyless entry pad. The old pad had both old garage doors programmed and opened both. I followed the proceedure in the manual (enter code, hold enter, push buttton on opener) and it doesn't work. Is it possible that the new opener is a different frequency then the keyless entry panel? If so, is my only solution to get a 2nd panel that's 315Mhz? Will the old opener then not work with the new panel and I'll have to have 2 panels? The only other though I had is that maybe the current panel has a limit of 2 codes and it thinks I'm attaching a 3rd GDO to it? Any ideas? |

| I don't think your keypad will work with the new opener but I don't understand why your remotes do. Anyway try programming the thing this way. Press and immediately release the smart/learn button on the opener and then walk over and key in your 4 digit code and press enter. The "press and immediately release" is important and if it is going to work with the new opener it should now. |

| Actually I didnt try the old remote with the new opened or the new remote with the old opener. My 2 cars that have a built in a homelink connection both work. I guess those work on multiple frequencies somehow. It looks like I'll have to try a new keypad. Are there and keypads that would work with both openers so I don't have to keep 2 keypads? |

| You won't find a keypad that will work with both openers now. The new frequency as you know is 315 mhz and the old is 390. |
