Erase all remotes from a B&D sectional opener

Check your opener model

Applies to Secure SDO-6V3, Smart SDO-7V3 and Smart Pro SDO-9V3. Check the model/version label and match the controls to the linked manual before starting. A familiar product name or remote appearance alone does not establish compatibility.

This procedure does not cover every older B&D opener, PanelMax, commercial operator or gate motor. Use the instructions for that exact model. Roll-A-Door Secure and installations with an automatic lock also need their separate lock/system procedure.

Understand what will be removed

All stored transmitter codes will be erased. This includes compatible wireless wall transmitters stored in that memory, so they need to be coded again. You do not need to erase all controls just to add another remote.

This procedure clears the stored transmitters. It does not reset the whole system, so check smartphone users, external access controllers and keypads separately when you’re reviewing who can enter your garage.

Prepare before erasing

Work only on a sound door with its travel path clear and in view. Use safe access to the owner controls; if you cannot reach them safely, ask an installer for help. Remove only the small controls cover shown in the manual, not the motor housing. Keep children away and be ready for door movement when a remote is pressed.

• Keep another entrance available so you do not lock yourself out.
• Collect the compatible remotes and wireless wall control you want to retain.
• Make sure you have the correct re-coding instructions before proceeding.

Erase every transmitter code

1. Remove the opener’s controls cover.
2. Press MODE repeatedly until the remote indicator is lit.
3. Press and hold MODE for 10 seconds. Release it when the flashing and beeping stop.
4. Before re-coding, stand clear with the door in view and test a previously registered remote. It should no longer operate the door. If it still works, stop and ask for help.
5. Follow the matching coding procedure to re-register only the controls you want to keep. Refit the controls cover and test each retained control.

Check the result before relying on it

Confirm removal before re-coding, then check every retained control after registration. If the erase indication differs or a removed control still operates the door, contact us before treating access as revoked.
