Tools and Hardware Reviews of Linear MINI-T- Delta 3 Keychain Garage Door OpenerCustomer Review: Great Replacement for Older Openers Summary: 5 Stars
I stumbled on this garage door opener while looking for a replacement for my old, dinasour sized and aged garage door opener. My local Sears had a "universal" for about $35 (plus tax in CA, add almost 10%). In looking at it on the computer screen, I didn't have much hope for it but upon receiving it, I must say I have been impressed. given the price, I bought two, figuring in case one doesn't work, or so we have a spare in the house at all times.
First of all, I thought I confirmed my skepticism because once I set the dip switch pins, neither one worked and I was starting to figure I had been taken. However, I looked at the switch configuration again, and realized that the "On" position is reversed from the original opener. Once I re-did the pins, and both worked. To my suprise, these little devices have an excellent range of reception! with my old remote, I practically had to stand in front of the door to get it to open. Needless to say, the reception range of this opener was a very welcome surprise.
On the subject of the pins, you will need a small and sturdy tool, such as a large-sized paperclip. It's impossible to do it by hand, and the dip switches do offer substantial resistance to move them. However, I did not find this to be neither negative nor extraordinary, given the size of these devices.
Although these devices are keychain-sized, the "keychain" aperture is quite wide, and they probably will not fit on a regular key ring. I don't recall if on the instructions or in someone else's review, I read a suggestion to use a small chain on the remote in lieu of a key ring directly. Good piece of advice. whatever you put on it though, put something because the battery door is removed by twisting both halves of the key ring ears.
As far as battery life, I cannot comment, as I have only had this opener for a week.
Overall, if you're in a situation like I was in, where you are carrying around this giant brick inside your car, you will be very pleased with upgrading to this little replacement, especially when you can open your garage door from far away enought to where it's fully open by the time you reach it.
