I have a liftmaster 1265 and can only open with the wall unit. Both of my openers will not work. Tried reprogramming with the "smart" button but to no avail. The problem started immediately after the house was struck by lightning. The "lock" light continues to flash also. I can turn it off but as soon as I hit a button on the remote openers it starts flashing again. What do I try next?

Sounds like your receiver has quit working. To program the remotes do this: Press and hold the button on the remote while you press and immediately release the smart/learn button. Do this for each remote. If this doesn't work your logic board is bad.

Can not reprogram key pad on my liftmaster garage door opener ,tried every thing in the book ,hand held works and also i am able to open and close from the multi function door control.

If you are sure the battery is good and this doesn't work then you need to replace the keypad.

Locate the smart/learn button on the rear of the motor unit near where all those white wires go. Press and immediately release this and then walk over to the keypad and key in any 4 digit code you like and press enter.

I have two LiftMaster Formula 1 units but only had remote openers for the left hand door. I reprogrammed one of the remotes but now it opens and closes both doors. How do I get the remote to just work on...

I believe that inside the remote unit is a set of 10 small switches. Some of these switches are on and some are off. When you reprogrammed your opener, it looked for the code of the remote that you were using. You must change any one switch on the remote and go thru the reprogramming procedure again. After that, the one opener will only work with that specific remote.
Let me know how you do.

On the rear of the motor unit near where all those white wires go you will find the smart/learn button. Press and hold the button on your clicker while you press and immediately release the smart/learn button. Should do the trick.

On the side of the motor unit you will find the 'down limit control'. Using a small screwdriver turn this control in the same direction as the arrow printed on the cover. Some tweaking may be necessary to get it just right.

Garage door opener will not respond to security plus remotes

Reset the Liftmaster unit. There should be a red reset button on the unit in the garage. If this does not work, reset the breaker. Good Luck!
