Stuck wall button, Shorted wall control wiring, Remote button jammed in glovebox or pocket, RF interference or neighbouring remote on same code

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Until resolved, disconnect power or use manual lock to secure the door.

Steps to stop unintended opening:

  • 1. Check wall button: Ensure it is not stuck or damaged. Disconnect its wires at the opener and monitor if the problem stops.
  • 2. Inspect wiring: Look for crushed or water‑damaged low‑voltage cable causing intermittent shorts.
  • 3. Check remotes: Ensure no remote buttons are stuck. Remove batteries from all remotes temporarily to test.
  • 4. Clear and recode: Clear all remote codes from the Gliderol opener and reprogram only your own remotes.
