Lee, What I have found in the past is you need to buy an opener that can be programmed to the type (brand) door you have. For instance, a couple of years ago we installed a Liftmaster garage door opener. Prior to that we had Craftsman. There was no way I could get the remotes that went with Craftsman to properly program with the Liftmaster. We had to get additional remotes from Liftmaster. Not sure about others but that was our experience . There may be a company that makes an opener that accepts numerous manufacturers similar to TV remotes.
