Jermyzy · 03-04-2012, 09:05 PM

So one of our remotes for our garage door opener has stopped working (changed batteries and still doesn't work). We have a super old Lynx 455 garage door opener from the '80s. We weren't planning on changing the garage door opener for another year or two so just wanted to buy a new remote. Seems like most univeral remotes are not compatible with our garage door opener...they all seem to require the unit to have either a "learn" button or DIP swithes to match the code, but my garage door opener has neither...any suggestions?
