Re: I need to change the code on my garage door opener...
My stanley opener is set by flipping a series of dip switches the same on both units. You will need to remove the covers on the remote and the ceiling unit.

If you can identify the model number, it may be possible to locate a manual from 1997 using the internet with http://www.google.com
According to one of the web sites above, "Stanley stopped making garage door openers and gate operators in 1997. Spare parts can be difficult to find however original and compatible remote controls are still widely available, most of the remote controls used by Stanley were manufactured by the Linear corporation. Stanley made garage door openers for other companies and many parts are interchangeable some of the brands they manufactured for are Vemco, U-Install, Quiet Glide, Light Maker, Home Innovative, Whistler, Popular Mechanics, and Secure Code."
Try searching around here to find similar or hopefully exact opener. Stanley no longer is in the garage door business, and the company that bought them out went bankrupt.
Good Luck

I found out that Stanley basically went out of business in 1997 and manuals are very hard to find. I actually have two Stanley openers installed in my garage for my two overhead doors-neither one are for your model. Sorry! I did find this website which purports to have Stanley manuals available, so visit the site and contact them: http://www.aaaremotes.com/stowma.html
There is this statement on the site:
"If you are unsure which Stanley® garage door opener manual you need,
please call us during business hours at 818-725-7125 with the model
number of your opener. We have most of the manuals scanned in PDF
format, you will require Adobe Acrobat (free download at the link
below), in order to view and print the manuals." http://get.adobe.com/reader/
A Stanley garage door keypad is wall-mounted, battery-operated device
that allows you to open your home's garage door electronically without
having to manually lift the door or use a pull chain. The keypad uses a
four-digit access code that you program after the keypad is initially
installed. You can change the code, disable the keypad manually by
entering a invalid code and reset the keypad if the device is not
working properly. After you reset your Stanley garage door keypad, the
device is ready to accept a new access code.
