What Is A Temporary Garage Door PIN?

A garage door PIN, also known as a guest or contractor code, is a unique code that allows temporary access to your garage. It's a great solution for providing temporary access to contractors, house guests, or any other individuals who need to enter your garage without giving them a permanent access code. These pins are particularly useful for maintaining security while allowing necessary entry for services such as package deliveries, home repairs, or visits from relatives when you're not home to grant them access. 


By using a temporary garage PIN, you can avoid the security risk of sharing your primary entry code with multiple people, since these codes often expire after a set number of hours or uses. This level of customization ensures you have complete control over who enters your property and when, providing a cost-effective, flexible security layer for your home.

How To Program A Temporary Garage PIN?

Programming a temporary garage door pin is simple and takes just a few steps. However, always make sure to check your opener's manufacturer instructions to guarantee you don't miss any important step:

  1. Enter your permanent PIN: Type your normal 4-digit code on the keypad.

  2. Start the program mode: Press and hold the * (star) key until the garage motor light blinks 3 times.

  3. Set the temporary PIN: Enter the new 4-digit temporary code you want to use, then press ENTER. The motor light will blink 4 times.

  4. Set the duration (Hours): Enter the number of hours the PIN should work (up to 255 hours), then press *.

  5. OR Set the duration (Uses): Enter the number of times the PIN should work (up to 255 uses), then press the # key.

  6. Confirmation: The light will blink once to confirm the setup.


You can also program a temporary garage pin on your opener by following these instructions:

  1. Locate the "LEARN" button on your garage door opener: It is typically on the back of the opener motor or the wall-mounted control panel. For most recent models, it's a yellow or purple button.

  2. Press the LEARN button: Hold it until the indicator light on the opener blinks, indicating it's ready to accept a new code.

  3. Enter the temporary code: Choose a unique four-digit code and enter it on the keypad.

  4. Test the code: Make sure the temporary garage door pin is working properly. Open and close the garage door using the temporary code to ensure that it's been programmed correctly.

  5. Set an expiration date or number of uses (optional): Some pin-based garage door openers allow you to set an expiration date or limit the number of times the temporary code can be used. See how in the previous section.

Our expert technicians are trained to program temporary codes quickly and efficiently, so you can have peace of mind knowing that your property is protected.
