Is there any setting to keep the garage door open all the time? It will be handy, since I need to work on the yard sometimes.

Yes, there is a hold button (red) that overrides the system so you can keep doors open. If you forget to push it and the doors close you can still get back in as long as you have the outdoor keypad access.

Yes and no. The yes part has to do with a built in "hold button" that overrides the night auto-close function but the "no" part is that when it starts getting dark the unit will override the "hold" button and close the garage door anyway. Note: If you have a need to override that also (if it's getting dark-ish) and you STILL want to keep the garage door open ANYWAY, simply switch off the power using the built-in on-off switch and that will totally disable the unit - you can keep the door open as long as you like. I've had mine for several years now and it works great. Hint: When installing the unit, put it in a place where it can easily "see" the outside light levels. If you bury it deep inside your garage, it will "think" its dark all the time or that sundown is coming much sooner than is appropriate. Hope that helps ya..

YES. You can lock it out or just turn it off. There is a hold button which stops the timer and you just close the door by any means you already have. Or just turn it off if you prefer. The one downside is that it can close with you outside if you don't hear the alarm. So you should have a way back into the house either a hidden key, a wireless external keyboard.

Yes thereis. By hittinh the hold button the door stays up. Hit it again and the timer counts down from 30 seconds and the door closes

Yes, you can keep the door open in two ways. You can set a preset time to close the door from three minutes up to a maximum of 60 minutes. The second method is to press the hold button, which will keep the door open indefinitely, but will close the door when the interior garage gets dark (i.e. at sunset) I hope this helps.

My Chamberlain has a lock button on the switch that is permanently mounted in the garage wall. If I push this before I go to bed it locks the garage door opener so no remotes will open it until the unlock button is pressed. It is not wireless though, yet a nice way to lock up the garage as your making your last run around the house to lock up all the doors before heading to bed.

The only way I can see to keep the cat door open permanently would be to tie it - like with little zip ties. It's welded on, so removing it isn't an option. At least not on my gate.

I second the 5 seconds. I have mine on a heavy wooden door and sometimes the latch moves back into the locked position and I have to move the bar to open so it closes properly, otherwise the door bar hits the latch and just bounces back. I also second that before I push the open button or the code I have to pull/push the door so it opens. It's a bit annoying, but less annoying than fumbling with keys.

Yes, as most garage door openers can be.. You can prevent it with a tie wrap or paper clip. Check out some youtube videos on the subject. UPDATE*** I looked at it last night, and the release lever is designed to release with a pull toward the power head. this would seem to negate the 6 second break in risk. Also, I have 2 of these.. One is 2 years old and working fine.. I like them..no problems so far.

It has to stay tll the way open since it is electrical. If it was manual you could leave it half way but it isn't.

I use mine to open up automatically in the AM and I manually close it at night. In order to do this I had to get a timer that has a switch that will direct the power through the timer or directly to the motor.

Yes you can swing it shut but only if it's securely installed. I close the gate by clicking it together when I can but half the time I kick the gate with my feet and it clicks shut. We hired a handy man to install it properly and it now auto-locks by just swinging it.

I think you meant after the door is OPEN??? There garage unit will continue to beep but apparent that's not an option with their door unit. Not sure if this one has a 12V output or not. I have been looking at every unit on Amazon but no one makes a continuously beeping while open door unit that is not 100 decibels or louder which will not work for a door you actually use daily.

I believe it stays on until turned off, or until the garage opens/closes. It doesn't turn off on me while working in the garage, which was the sole purpose for buying this, so I wouldn't have to go open/close the door to get the light to come back on...

Mine doesn't automatically shut. You have to lift and close the gate door each time. It will stay open if you open it.

You unplug it and buy something else! I had one of these and it was IMPOSSIBLE to set, keep time, etc. It was very satisfying to end its usefil life against my garage floor!! If you have not bought it yet, don't. If you have, sorry!

I use both of my wedge-its on my garage doors, which lock and open outward. The main reason I use the wedge-it is to keep the door open all-the-way, so that I can enter the garage without having to use my hands to open the door, and to keep it opened during gusts of wind that would otherwise slam my door shut. So, if you don't want the door opened all the way, the wedge-it is not for you! I would place a piece of wood inside the door frame near the hinges large enough to keep the door from closing all the way. Sounds simple, but it works. (I used a block of wood 4x1x.5 inches, and stood it up inside the door frame with the long side standing up.) Hope this works for you. And thanks for giving me the opportunity to use my noodle to figure stuff out! Don't you just love doing that?

I'd go to Garage door butler's web site and ask that question to know for sure or call a garage door installer. I'm betting there's a way to link the two doors with one opener if you don't mind them both opening at the same time, assuming you have only one garage door opener.

I just turn the gate opener off then turn it on again. Usually this fixes the problem.

You can lock the door from outside with a key. I leave the inside on lock mode all the time, that way I now the door is locked.

The light goes on when you open the garage door and stays on for the designated time. It does not flash unless you try to close the door when there is an object obstructing the sensors. The door will not close until the object is moved, for obvious safety reasons. That is the only time the lights flash as far as I'm aware.
