At Civic Garage Doors, we understand how convenient garage door remotes are, saving you from the hassle of heavy lifting since the 1950s. But we also know that losing or damaging your remote can be frustrating. The good news is, getting a replacement is quick and easy!

Whether you need to install a new one or you want to get an older replacement, simply reach out to us. If you have your original garage door manual, it likely contains the contact details for our support team, making the process smooth. When you contact us for a replacement, make sure to have your remote’s model number handy. It’s typically printed on the back or side of the remote, or inside the battery compartment. If you can’t find it on the remote itself, check the opener unit’s housing or motor box for the make and model number. Remember to turn off the power before checking for safety. Civic Garage Doors is here to make sure your garage operates smoothly and conveniently.

Think About Using a Universal Garage Door Remote

Because there are so many distinct garage door models and makes, there are also a number of different remote controls. Similar to your TV, some manufacturers have made it simpler to swap out a broken or missing remote control with a universal one that fits a wide range of models and makes.

Variety of Garage Door Models & Remotes: There are many garage door makes and models, meaning there are also a wide range of remote controls.

Universal Remotes: Similar to TV remotes, some universal options are compatible with multiple makes and models of garage doors.

Programming Required: Just like an original remote, a universal remote needs to be programmed and paired with your door for it to function properly.

Setup Process: While setting up a universal remote may take a few extra steps, following the included manual will ensure a smooth installation.

Compatibility Check: Not all garage doors work with universal remotes. Always verify that the universal remote you choose is compatible with your door’s make and model.

You can call Civic Garage Doors if you can’t find your guide, want to speak with the original manufacturer, or aren’t sure which universal remote to select. We can even order a new remote for you or assist you in finding the information you require.
