What To Consider Before You Change Your Wall Control’s Battery?

The wall control is designed to make things easier for homeowners to access their garage.

With Liftmaster wall control, you can easily unlock your garage door to get or put some stuff inside your property.

However, there are some circumstances wherein a garage door won’t open.

Due to this, most homeowners thought their wall control’s battery was dead.

But sometimes, they accidentally push the lock button and think they need new batteries for their wall control.

A battery can last for around 2 years based on daily usage.

If you regularly use your garage door to place your vehicle or do some activities inside, your battery might not last for a long time.

To make things right, before you try to change your battery, check first the lock button if you’ve pushed it or not.

If you didn’t push it, it indicates that either you have a dead battery or need to replace your wall control.

We recommend you call a professional garage door technician to help you install a new wall control unit.
