Skylink G6KR Keypad Transmitter Set Review

Much to my surpise after glowing reviews from others, this unit would only open my garage door about four inches. It won't close it at all.

I have a Liftmaster Security Plus garage door opener built in 1999 or 2000. That's clearly within the advertised parameters.

The customer support desk hours are only 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday (exactly when I need to be at work, not standing in my garage debugging something like this), so I checked the manufacturer's website at www.skylinkhome.com.

I found this chilling remark in the FAQ for the model 89 (that is what you're considering here - A Skylink Model 89):

"If your Chamberlain®/LiftMaster®/Sears® Garage Door Opener has the 'Learn' button and happened to close and then open for few inches. The model 39 and model 89 might not compatible to your existing garage door opener. Please contact our customer support for details at support@skylinkhome.com."

In other words, sorry, you're screwed. Enjoy trying to return your on-line purchase.

Of course, Skylink will be happy to sell you, for another $23 plus S&H, their model UR100A Universal Receiver. With benefit of this additional gadget, the model 89 universal transmitter actually becomes more universal. At least, 99.9% universal. The web site does say that it this combination "99.99% works with most brands of garage door openers".

Great, huh? Spend A LOT of time with their web site FAQ before buying. Universal? Not even close...
