Home Guides Home Home Improvement Troubleshoot, Fix and Repair How to Reset Remotes on a Liftmaster Garage Door Opener Reset the code and program a remote for each vehicle. Liftmaster garage door openers come with a remote for operating the door from a vehicle. A code is preset on the motor so the door operates the first time you use the remote. As a homeowner, you should reset the opener to prevent outsiders from opening the door with a remote that's set to a Liftmaster default code. A simple procedure allows you to reset the opener for one or more remotes. Position a stepladder to access the rear of the garage door opener motor. Notice a row of small, numbered toggle switches on the back of the motor. Program a different code by depressing the top or bottom of the toggle switches. Do not depress all tops or all bottoms of each because outsiders have remotes set for these codes. Alternate top and bottom in any sequence.
