Garage door remote repair starts with range, not the button

If a remote only opens the door from a few feet away, the problem is almost never the button itself — it's the opener's antenna, which hangs down from the motor unit and picks up a weak signal if it's bent, tucked up out of the way, or just old. A remote that used to work from the driveway and now only works from the doorstep is telling a specific story, and it's one worth checking before buying a new clicker.

The problem this one is most often confused with is garage door remote not working La Porte repair.
