How much it costs to replace a garage door remote control depends on type of remote, brand, and whether you DIY or hire professional to program, but typical costs are modest. For DIY replacement, a single-button garage door remote costs 30 to 60 dollars at home improvement stores like Home Depot, Lowes, or online, with LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Craftsman, and Genie remotes in that range, while three-button remote that can control three doors costs 40 to 80 dollars, and keychain remote costs 25 to 50 dollars. Universal remotes that work with multiple brands cost 30 to 70 dollars. Keypad that mounts outside garage and allows PIN entry costs 30 to 60 dollars. If you hire professional garage door company to supply and program remote, total cost including service call fee of 75 to 150 dollars plus remote cost is 100 to 200 dollars, as technician will program remote to opener and test operation. If you have lost all remotes and need opener memory erased and reprogrammed, professional may charge extra but still within 100 to 200 dollars. High-end remotes with MyQ smartphone control or built into car HomeLink may cost more but still under 100 dollars. To save money, buy remote yourself and program by pressing Learn button on opener motor unit and pressing remote within 30 seconds, which is free DIY programming that takes minute. Replacement remote restores convenience without replacing opener costing 300 to 600 dollars and typically lasts 10 to 15 years.
