Here are some common reasons you should clear the memory of your garage door opener: Deactivating your Genie garage remotes and keypads and reprogramming your currently used ones will ensure only authorized persons can access your garage.
Resetting your Genie garage door opener allows you to erase the memory of previous remotes and keypads. Have you lost your garage door remote or moved into a new home? What do you do if someone steals your garage remote? Maybe you are a landlord whose tenants have moved out.
