(More customer reviews)I bought the Skylink 318TR Garage Door Remote Control on October 3, 2009. This was just the product I was looking for. I have an older Stanley Secure Code opener for which I was unable to find a replacement remote that would work. The opener was installed by a previous owner and they did not leave me a working remote. Winter was coming and I wanted get a remote working before the snow season and make my wife happy.
Installation of the Skylink was as simple as could be. Just unplug the opener at the motor, wire the Skylink control wires to the hardwired button in series (along with the original control wires) and plug the Skylink into the outlet. Reconnect the power at the motor and it worked perfectly.
The only problem I had during the install was with the trip path sensors from the original Stanley Opener installation. This had nothing to do with the Skylink. The trip path sensors, since I bought the house were not functioning. Therefore, the hard wired button needed to be depressed for the entire time during the door down cycle. What I found is that the previous owner had incorrectly wired trip path sensors. My point is that to have the Skylink function correctly, the hard wired control button needs to control the up / down with a single push.
Both the remote and receiver appear to well constructed. The receiver is 2 prong (no ground) and is rather large. If it were to be used on a power strip it would most likely cover other receptacles. The flexible 12 inch antenna is permanently attached. The control cable is approximately 12 feet long. Therefore the distance between the power receptacle needs to be about 10 feet or an extension cord will be required. The remote was small and very convenient. I wish the manufacturer included a visor clip. The remote worked from about 75 feet away and I did not test any further distance.
All in all an excellent product and recommended.
