Default Remote Control Fobs

Anybody ever replaced their electric gates/garage door fob? We were only supplied with 1 for our development and would like to order some spares, anyone know where I can order them from?

I bought one from the shoe repair / key cutting shop opposite Jumbo supermarket in the Forum Algarve Shopping Centre in Faro. About 40 euros as I recollect and they'll even program it for you as well if you take an existing remote (although it's very easy).

I know it's a way from you but next time you're in the vicinity . . . or maybe you can find an equivalent closer to home.

Obrigado e boa noite.

Managed to find 2 replacements, not cheap at 66 euro's for both. They are very easy to programme so if anybody wants any info on how to do it then let me know. The shop wanted 50 euro's to do it for me!

We need one too. Can you program it without using anything else ?

Only a screw driver and a woman to fetch the tea etc.

Open up the control box, inside you will find a small printed circuit board. On this board you will find a small metallic button. Press the button and a red light will appear for a few seconds. When this light is lit point your remote at the control box and press the corrosponding button on the fob. The red light will blink for a couple of seconds and the controls will be paired.
