Shanon, I managed State prisons all my adult career. There are many slimy people in this world and just because you work hard to have what you have they think they have a right to take that from you. It appears you discovered how vulnerable you are and took the measures to secure your property before you were a victim. I applaud you for doing that and bringing that vulnerability to our attention. Keep the great videos coming. We appreciate your passing on your knowledge and experience.

[@Sam-hf8nq]

My wife just lost her remote so I ordered replacements from Amazon. When I went on KZbin to search for reprogramming, yours was at top of the suggestion heap...and with good reason. Simple, clear instructions. Thanks! So much crime with no consequences these days. I think the world's at a tipping point. Stay safe!

[@bowhunting1013]

Glad they didn’t steal anything, your right we work hard for what we have , just for them to come and take it easy

[@taylorg8509]

Thank u kind sir I actually got someone inside my vehicle at 1 am a week ago Very scary they ran away with garage door opener We reprogrammed it thanks to ur video Take care be safe people !!

[@butchholmes4624]

Sorry to hear about that Shannon. What was good to hear is that nothing appeared to be stolen and you and your family are safe. Rough world out there and a lot of people try to live off the hard work of others.

[@keetoruns7506]

when you contained yourself and said 'dirty bugger' you won my vote. hahaha

[@nuevoamanecer6451]

So true...we work hard every day to have nice things and someone always tries to take advantage and take what's not theirs... good video. Thanks for sharing.

[@barnshopproductions7132]

You're fortunate no equipment was taken. Lots of youTubers have mentioned having equipment stolen. Shawn James for example, said he just had his camera equipment stolen from his vehicle and he's also in Canada. Love your channel.

[@ds99]

I’m glad nothing was stolen from your garage. There is so much crime it makes me angry. My co-worker had her brand new locked Toyota SUV stolen from her driveway while they were sleeping last week here in Ottawa. Cars are being taken nightly in this city. Never to be seen again. The crime map shows house breaks and car thefts all over the city. There are many people involved in crime and the risk is prison, yet they do it anyway. I’d say a good percentage of people lack intelligence. It’s actually a blessing that your door was opened half way or you may not have noticed that someone was tampering with your remote.

[@xixiyang413]

I had the same situation last night!!!! Your video helped me a lot! Thank you

[@PublixCarrotCake]

This is good to do even for when you first move in, just like changing locks, so extra keys and remotes that are still out there don't work.

[@goddzaam]

Straight forward. Love the content. Thank you!

[@jackrodus]

Thanks for posting this video. I had my remote opener stolen last night.

[@thatguy9760]

Thanks Shannon. That was very helpful to me and simple. Your cool.

[@jbb5470]

Thank you for this tip. Did not realize a person could change the codes. By the way, nice looking Gladiator cabinets! I have a few but really like your tall ones.

[@dabody57ify]

Thank you Shannon l lost one of my remotes and was very worried. But thanks to you I'm no longer worried thank you so much.

[@andytheartist1]

Sorry to hear! The real problem is the crime rate is making those who work hard like Shannon to close their family up on their own property! And always worried what’s next!!!! Thanks Shannon for your time on this channel!

[@mrdato116]

Thanks man, appreciate the info!

[@chrissimon8403]

Sorry to hear Shannon, a lot of jerks around!!

[@matthew_kiely]

Perfect ! Just what I needed, my remote was stolen out of my car, so I want to reprogram the garage door opener.

[@1000Deep]

Thank you. This is very informative still.

[@kringles65]

Thanks for sharing info. Lots of dishonest people. Hope you can catch them. We've added two security cams to our home's exterior. Never thought I would need to do it!

[@premierpainting3711]

Thank you so much for sharing this

[@Gundesalf]

Goodness!! You've got some giant moquitoes where you live! Thanks for the video. My controler didn't get stolen, but with the advent of the "Flipper Zero" I no longer consider the open radio signal to be safe. I am installing a Wyze controller to the system and disabing the regular controller radio alltogether. That's where your video became handy. So, thanks again.

[@debbiehiggins2407]

very helpful, thanks!!

[@oldschool9746]

Thank you for sharing .

[@mkbybarbieb3371]

Thank you!

[@pkuchnicki]

Good job!

[@sfinge5]

@2:57 "...the things people do to try to ruin your life" that gave me a chuckle, hopefully their intentions were not that dire!! Thanks for the video!!

[@Bassqautchadventures2022]

Thanks you for the videos it helped me out a lot my truck got broken into . They didn’t take anything but the garage door opener and my bottle of hand sanitizer.. in my back seat I had all my Fishing 🎣 gear 😂 nope they wanted the hand sanitizer 😂

[@thisheadofmine]

Thank you! 🙏🏾

[@ianhillman4007]

Shannon could you please do a video showing how to reprogram your remotes after you have erased the old code. Thanks.

[@manjitrai3616]

Thank you man for vedio . It's does help me

[@victorovalle3096]

Thanks

[@rocketrider1405]

This is so good to know. Thanks Shannan, sorry you had to do this. If you're up to it, do a video on how to re-program a new code into the 'brain' that will work for the existing remote.Are there DIP switches where you change the position of each one to another number?

[@ICoulntThinkofAUserNam547]

Just closed and this is very helpful :) side note: do you have a compilation of "stuff for first time homeowners"? I'd watch that

[@saulo13184]

Thank you. Sorry to hear what happened

[@frankmash]

Thanks for this video some shh head broke in my car while I was out eating last night stole my registration/insurance and garage opener.

[@OlofTheBald]

"1 2 3 4 5? That's amazing, I have the same combination on my luggage!"

[@gth042]

I hope the "dirty bugger" wasn't just casing your stuff for a later date. Kinda wish you had the old code. Out in the country, with a backhoe, I'd consider getting a new opener just to leave the old one plugged in somewhere attached to a discrete alarm (or in the bedroom to really get the BP/HR going for the occassion)... Thank you for your hard work. Please get a security system. You help us out so much that your woe becomes a bit of our own. Don't forget about the windows as a route of entry.

[@konstantinusstoyanov9749]

Nice video, same happen to us too

[@tonym6920]

Thanks for sharing, Don't have that feature on mine, it's about 14 years old.

[@C.M1444]

I had a universal opener from home Depot that disappeared, if I push that button n erase that from working, does my stock opener have to be reprogrammed? Or will it automatically do it? Cuz I already had my work van looted n don't want to sleep in the garage

[@Empressnimra867]

My remote was stolen last night so I purchased the key ring version. 🔑

[@2bikemikesguitartopics145]

just because people can break into cars and steel garage door openers and get inside is the reason why I never leave one in the car.there is a long history of car break-ins reported and stolen garage door openers stealing stuff from the garage and inside the house. Glad to see you didn't get anything taken

[@MigraineCraftsman]

Shannon who is this guy in this vid with no hat on? :-) I had some stuff stolen from my job site before, that's the real world for ya, as you said "some people", I'll leave it at that.

[@al2969]

So sorry to hear this happened to you..Are you going to look into security camera that alert you like that Ring thing? Sad times when we have to even look into stuff like that anymore..

[@edover50]

Are you sure your wife didn’t put the garage door partially up on purpose? You might be part of a new community and not even know it yet.....is there a fish bowl at the front entranceway now?? Lol It’s a good video thanks Shannon, I’ve installed a smart device that links to Alexa and my phone which alerts me whenever my garage opens or closes. Highly recommend it.

[@Hajjat]

The marantec 4700 doesn't have that button unfortunately. Anyone knows how to do it on marantec?

[@mattkork]

It's a bit of a pain but whenever I park my car outside I bring my opener in the house with me. Especially if you have an attached garage, there have been a number of break ins in my area where thieves broke into a car, then opened the garage door and the entry door into the house was unlocked so they gained access to the house. Very important to not leave the opener in your car.

[@alienvomitsex]

There are smaller keychain sized garage door openers. I love mine

[@metcalflin2575]

Same issue!!!

[@carolpreble3616]

Sad thing like this. How do change the program? I have the only remote. I think random drive by.

[@davidabineri908]

Why not include, in this very good video, how to re-program the codes also as that may be the more challenging part of this process? It seems that erasing the codes is only half the story.

[@christian14329]

Theres tons of other youtube videos for that! Your already on youtube lazy!! 😂

[@marilynhughes5877]

Does this also deprogram the switch in the cars? My roommate moved out but his car was programmed to open the garage

[@christian14329]

Yes

[@mrazt3ca1]

Unfortunately this isn't completely correct. I held my button down till my light turned off. Tried my Opener. Awesome it wouldn't open my door. So I went to reprogram my Opener, somehow my cars Homelink still opened my door even after the erase, and reprogram. It seems to use the same code to reprogram, regardless of erasing and reprogramming. So the old controller will reactivate. I'm wondering if the clicker also has to be erased, then both can learn a new code. I'm still looking for the answer.

[@jfbmax]

use a wyzecam sense to check on your garage door...

[@Veenineseven]

Will this method work in deactivating car setup. Example I allowed someone to program their vehicle to my garage. I no longer want them to have access.

[@HouseImprovements]

Yes, absolutely. You will have to reprogram any that you still want to use.kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5acm32spNChgNE

[@Veenineseven]

Appreciate you, Thanks!

[@DavidHernandez-vu9vb]

Sir, how do you reprogram it? I moved into my house and received no key fobs and the worthless key box outside because I don't know the code. 😒😒

[@MisterDimos]

Thanks shannon! Can you erase specific codes or does it have to be all?

[@HouseImprovements]

All I believe

[@Sarah33Kaufman]

Would you please show us how to reprogram the garage door opener?

[@HouseImprovements]

Search my channel for that.

[@matthew_kiely]

Often thieves will come back, I had someone steal the keys of my motorbike, when they broke into the house, I then kept the bike chained (cable) up in my alarmed garage. They came back on a Sat morning and tried to take it when I wasn't home. A neighbour watched them revving the engine and dropping the clutch, but going no where. Fortunately, there was only minor damage.

[@imperial195]

Mines yellow. So I don’t know if it’s the learn button.

[@jessymode]

one of the biggest problems i noticed is my address is on my car info in glove box i have to give cops if they pull me over wouldnt it make sense to do it a different way so if they do steal a garage fob they dont have the address too

[@HouseImprovements]

Good point

[@larrymoore6640]

Good information but I would have like to see you reprogram one remote

[@HouseImprovements]

Thats coming up ,sub my channel and stay tuned!

[@HildaRealtor]

Can you use that button to erase the keypad too?

[@HouseImprovements]

Yes it erases all buttons and key pads associated with that opener.

[@danielgarza1810]

How do you program a new code?

[@HouseImprovements]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5acm32spNChgNE

[@larryz24]

So sad, that is the state of our world now days. Hope they didn't get away with any of your tools. Be safe Shannon.

[@melindasfamily889]

I hate thefts ❤

[@hautecarla4251]

Yes.. i hate thieves!!

[@8953147]

Hey your an awesome carpenter, so build a cage that falls over them as they enter your garage- bet they won't come back...just joking!! Thank goodness your stuff is in place Shannon; good fix to a never ending problem with dishonest people.

[@BigBoy74X]

I have a dirty bugger/fucken low life thief as well, lol sorry but NOT!! LOL. Thanks for this. It saved me a lot of time and money. Best of wishes 🤙🏼

[@joeb4349]

I am selling a car where the opener code is in the car's receiver on the roof. How do I simply ease the code in the car's receiver? Your method means I will have to reset a new code in all other cars' receivers after this car is sold. Please get back. Thanks.

[@HouseImprovements]

Your codes can be deleted from the vehicle using the vehicle manufactures procedure. Look up how to delete codes from your vehicle opener buttons by searching for that specific vehicle information. It has nothing to do with your opener itself.

[@joeb4349]

Yes, it just amounts to turning on the ignition and pressing the two buttons on the roof of the vehicle until the little red light flashes. This took about 20 seconds. Then it's all erased and it did not change other remotes and did they need to be reprogrammed. Easy. But the owner's manual did not mention this. Thanks for getting back.@@HouseImprovements

[@la196]

Well dang, that's scary, what the heck! Glad they didn't make their way into the house...man oh man.

[@NoMeWithoutYou1]

Probably some kid in your neighborhood was playing a prank on you to spook you. Keep your car doors locked in the driveway. In my, otherwise safe neighborhood, police have indicated that one of the most common crimes happen in the early hours of the morning because of that. Kids go around and find unlocked vehicles to steal valuables.

[@Maxid1]

Time for some security cameras eh?

[@danielevans922]

Glad you stopped them before they got a chance to steal your tools

[@alicexie7271]

Our stuff got stolen alot

[@BassManBobBassCovers]

Friggin neighbors can be the worst.

[@cynthiahager7546]

Hope they didn’t take anything. Yes slimy people do slimy things. Tenants didn’t return a remote so I appreciate your video.

[@alicexie7271]

Thankfully they didn’t steal anything

[@chrismeadows5948]

That sucks brother . At least they did not get your tools and stuff . So that's a Yay on your part . Hears a good one - Or you come into the garage laught at night after work and they take advantage of you and your sexy body making you feel all vulnerable and stuff ! You know how women are these days . Protect your cookie man - protect your cookie LMAO - JOKING BRO - Just keep your head up and moving on . 😀😀😂😂💪

[@maverator]

Sorry you misplaced your remote.

[@ikezarrabi8811]

Some​ people want to get through life on others expense & labor... Sorry for your unfortunate experience....

[@chuckfinley3542]

The length some men will go to avoid “fessing up” to the Mrs! Just a warning, putting up a KZbin video as a dodge only works once with one’s wife. Don’t ask me how I know.

[@Livnyug7393]

Shit dude, I followed your advice and you didn't show me how to reset.

[@timj1196]

You left out reprogramming the remote! 😬😠😕

[@HouseImprovements]

Subscribe to our channel ,that will come out later this week .

[@Crappie_Hunter_Seeker]

Sorry man....

[@geovanyarias3111]

Same thing happened to us last night. Thanks for you help. With your video was easy than I thought.

[@racing7m]

Damn thieves.

[@chakagillis]

Looks like they stole your hat my nigga

[@stanleysiewierski]

You sure it was half open? Could of sworn it was half closed! That dirty bugger...too much profanity!

[@SpicedRumFLHXSE]

Change title to HOW TO DELETE REMOTES. This has nothing to do with deleting codes.
