anyone have problems with it? i live in a gated comm. and i think that the gate may have a rolling code... i have followed the instructions on how to program the clicker but its not working. help!

 

Yeah, odds are it is a newer gate model with a random code . . . there are instructions on how to do it, but I've never tried.

yea its a new gate... probably with the rolling code. my hoa wants to charge me $90 for a clicker.... haha.

 

Just wait till somone comes through the gate and follow them through.. Save $90.

 

i've programmed my homelink to my rolling code garage opener... its pretty simple ... BUT, problem is you need to be able to access the brain of the gate. I have to assume you can't do that since, obviously, that would make it a useless deterent to anyone else. Maybe security can give you access and help you out?? Then again, they would need to know if the gate even has a program button like a garage opener does.

 

I only have problems when I follow someone in and can get the gate ot go back up, but if I am alone or the first in line no problems.

 

You'd be surprised to see how these gates are really just a deterent for small time thieves. Most have a button on the side of the motor to allow the fire or police dept through . . . Check it out, you might be able to access the "brain" without any problems.

 

I have this same issue with the gate @ my aparment complex garage. I'm unable to get the remote to program so I am assuming it is a rolling code gate also. I'm not able to tell if there is a button on the motor as its pretty tough to see up there. I asked my apartments maintenance guy & he as much of a clue as a brick in the side of the garage complex. Plus it would be pretty suspicious looking if I were to get out a ladder & starting looking at it.

Anyone know a work-around?
