Why a garage door remote won't open the door on the first try

A remote sends a short radio code to a receiver mounted on the opener, and that code has to match what the opener is expecting. A dead battery cuts the signal off at the source, a remote that's fallen out of sync sends a code the receiver no longer recognizes, and a worn receiver or antenna can stop picking up a perfectly good signal from a few feet away. Ruling those out one at a time is faster than guessing, and it's usually a five-minute check once someone's standing at the opener.
