1. Remote and Wall Button/Opener
The remote you use to open your garage door from your car is called a transmitter because it transmits the signal to the door to open. Make sure all the transmitters you use to open and close the garage door are working properly — pay close attention to buttons that could be sticking briefly or permanently. Don’t forget to check the wall buttons/openers. Stuck buttons can cause the signal to continue to fire, and the garage door to appear to randomly open or close.
Where do you keep the remote transmitters for the garage door? If you leave them somewhere that objects could easily push down the button — like a drawer — this could also be causing the unexplained garage door openings and closings. Dedicating time to checking all these buttons to ensure they’re working properly is a great place to start. You can also replace the batteries in your remote transmitter, as worn-out batteries have been known to send random signals, opening and closing your garage door without warning.

Stuck buttons and fresh batteries are two simple solutions, but when the buttons aren’t sticking and the batteries don’t make a difference, call a garage door professional to inspect your transmitters and your entire garage door system to fix whatever is broken.
2. Identical Frequencies/Codes
The signal transmitted to open your garage door travels on a specific frequency and uses a specific code to program. There’s a small chance a neighbor may be using the same garage door opener frequency or code. This problem only occurs in older garage door openers that were programmed using positioning clips. This case is easy to test — when they open their door, does yours open, too? If you discover this is the problem, your garage door will need to be set to a different frequency or your remote transmitters will need to be reprogrammed.

It is possible, but rare, for newer models to have a neighbor’s remote transmitter pair with your garage door openers. If you have a new model with an LCD control panel, chances are you can see the transmitters programmed to operate the garage door opener. If you find more than the ones you use, you’ve found the issue.
The solution is to clear the history and reprogram your transmitters. Each garage door opener manufacturer has a different way of reprogramming and/or switching the frequency, so reaching out to a garage door professional to make sure your frequencies and codes are set properly is the best way to get your garage door opening and closing on your time, not your neighbor’s.
