Choosing the right remote for your garage or gate system can be confusing—especially with so many models and frequencies available. Whether you're replacing a lost remote, upgrading your system, or buying a spare, this guide will help you make the right decision.
1. 🏠 Know Your Gate or Garage Opener Brand
Start by identifying the brand and model of your current gate or garage door opener. Remotes are typically not universal—they’re designed to work with specific systems like Ritrox, ATA, Merlin, or Lockmaster.
2. 📲 Check the Frequency
Gate and garage remotes operate on specific frequencies, such as 303MHz, 433MHz, or 315MHz. You can usually find the frequency listed on the back of your old remote or inside the cover of the motor unit. Matching the frequency is essential for compatibility.
3. ✨ Decide Between Original and Compatible Remotes
Original remotes are made by the same manufacturer as your opener, while compatible remotes work with multiple brands and are often more affordable. Garageway stocks both types—choose based on your budget and preference.
4. 🤝 Consider Remote Features
Modern remotes come with extra features like multiple buttons to control more than one door, rolling code security, and compact designs. Think about whether you want a basic remote or something more advanced.
