It's frustrating to struggle with your garage door opener at the end of a long day, but luckily, there are a few simple tricks that might help you extend the range of your remote. The typical range of a garage door opener is about 100 ft (30 m), but a number of things can affect how well it works. Improving the range of your opener might be as simple as changing out your batteries, although in some cases, you might need to relocate the transmitter to avoid interference from other devices.
