Reprogramming a garage door remote

I've had the ultimate in garage door security for a long time - short of having no garage door. Something happened to the code, so no one could get in. Along comes google to the rescue...



Intellicode Model GWKP (off-white with flip-up cover)


Programming Instructions for the GWKP Genie garage door opener keyless entry involves following the two sets of steps below:

  1. To erase the old PIN (personal identification number) press and hold down, in order, the "PROG," "6" and "Up/Down Arrow" keys. The red LED will blink once and then turn off. Release the buttons.
  2. To program: press, in order, but do not hold down the "3," "5," "7" and "PROG" keys.
  3. Enter your chosen PIN, anywhere from 3 to 8 characters.
  4. Press "PROG" (red LED blinks - twice per second and turns off)

Find the Learn Code Button and the LED indicator light on your Genie motor head inside the garage. It is usually behind the light lens and close to the floppy antenna wire. If your Door Opener does not have an antenna, you have an External Receiver. The External Receiver cover must be removed to access the Learn Code button and the indicator LED. Follow Steps 1 through 3 outlined below:

  1. Press this Learn Code button momentarily. The red LED indicator light will start to blink. It will blink for up to 30 seconds. While it is blinking:
  2. Enter your PIN and press the "Up/Down Arrow" key on your keypad. The Learn Code Indicator LED will stay on.
  3. Press the "Up/Down Arrow" key again. The Learn Code indicator LED turns off. Wait until the Keypad backlight turns off (approximately 30 seconds).
  4. Test by entering your PIN and pressing the "Up/Down Arrow" key to operate your door.

Multiple Genie Garage Door Opener Programming for GWKP- All garage doors will use the same PIN:

  1. Enter PIN and press PROG (red LED blinks once per second).
  2. press PROG again (red LED blinks twice per second).
  3. press the number of doors you wish to control (2 key or 3 key).
  4. press PROG (red led blinks several times and turns off).
  5. Decide which Door will be Door #1, #2, and #3.
  6. Press the Learn Code Button on the motor head.
  7. Enter your PIN and press the Up/Down key on the Keypad.
  8. Press the number you have picked for this Door Opener (key 1, 2 or 3)
  9. Press the Up/Down key.
  10. Repeat steps 6 through 9 for each Door Opener.

To make a copy, highlight area and copy into your word program. You can then print out a legible copy of the chart and programming steps from your word software.
