After that change the code in the operator of a garage door and set the same as you have set in the remote. This is an easy task and you can do it by reading the manual.

Surges of Electricity in a Home

The electricity surge happens only when something boosts an electrical charge in your house suddenly. If electricity in your home feels the surges of amperage, wattage or voltage, the door opener can be activated without pressing a button on a remote. This occurs because the energy might be changed & so, the frequency of a remote is changed. What can you do in such situation?

• Unplug the opener temporary so it will not able to open a door. Once all set; you can plug the opener again.

Misalignment of the Photo Electric Eye Beams

If there is no power surge and still your door opens by itself the second reason is the misalignment of beams. The doors which are manufactured after 1993 should have photo eye security systems. It’s law in the USA. It is used as a safety mechanism. If anything comes between these two sensors; the door reverses its direction and so, there will be no any causality with you. If it is misaligned then the beams cut off and it can cause it to reopen.
