Tools and Hardware Reviews of Chamberlain KLIK1U Clicker Transmitter Universal Garage Door Remote ControlCustomer Review: Only 50% Usable Summary: 2 Stars
I ordered this garage door opener to be able to open either garage door from my vehicle. The ad boasts "works with all brands". Not completely true! It was easy to program but would only work with one of the door openers. The older door opener is a 1989 Allistar which does not respond after several attempts to program the "clicker". I called Chamberlain about the problem and was told that my old garage door opener probably wasn't compatible. So, I'm stuck with a dual garage door opener which is only 50% usable. Check out your the age and model of your door openers before ordering one of these. I would probably rate this a four or five star if both door openers responded to it but it deserves only two stars from my perspective.
Customer Review: Does not support middle setting for 3-position DIP switches Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this hoping it could open my new garage door (with my Liftmaster 3850 it works perfectly, that part was fine) and also the gate to my community.
The gate to my community uses a type of Chamberlain 3-position DIP switch that the remote says it supports, but it doesn't support the middle-position. (The three positions are +, -, and 0 in the middle. This remote can't do the middle 0 position.)
If the 3-position DIP switches were used on my own garage, I could change the code on the opener and my remotes to avoid the middle position. But this is the gate to my community, and many people have remotes that open this gate. This remote is getting returned since it doesn't work for me...
Customer Review: Great replacement Summary: 5 Stars
Actually ordered this and got the Liftmaster version (http://www.amazon.com/Liftmaster-Remote-Clicker-Universal-Transmitter/dp/B0015D3UD0/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top), which is identical to this one on the inside. So make sure and ask the seller what you are getting. The Liftmaster version was about $4 more, but it seemed to have better range to me than the actual clicker version here (I got one of those from a big box, for almost twice the price). They program the same, are both easy as pie, and seem to work wonderfully. I couldn't be happier with this unit (although I've only had it a few days).
I used it for two garage openers, one with a dip switch and the other a Genie Intellicode. Works fantastic.
Customer Review: Good range, nice replacement for my Craftsman Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this after losing my original Craftsman remote. I've found this opens the garage from the bottom of the driveway and beyond. Even through the bushes in my neighbour's front yard. Trick is to lower the visor to which the remote is attached.
Clip is versatile enough to attach to thick and thin visors of my two cars.
My Craftsman was an old model, but still had a "smart learning" orange button. Programming was easy. The footnote suggested that Crafstman models were identical to Chamberlain. So when I pressed the remote's learn button twice as suggested for Chamberlain models, the garage lights blinked. Then pressed the remote button again to lock in the code. That was it!
Customer Review: Works great! Summary: 5 Stars
I just purchased the KLIK1U Clicker from Amazon, and it works great! I have two older (circa 199?) openers: a Stanley Intellicode and a Genie with dip switches. Setting up the Clicker for both of these was reasonably straightforward. The Stanley was up and running in about 3-minutes. The Genie setup took a little longer since I didn't get the dip switches set right on the first couple of tries. But after that, programmed just fine. I checked out the range and the Clicker worked from 70 feet away from my garage. I know some complained about the range being not so good, but I didn't find that to be the case. I am very happy with my purchase and just wish I'd done this a long time ago.
