Direct Drive 4078V001 310 MHz Wireless Keypad for Direct Drive Garage Door Opener , Gray

Appears to be a well-built device that should withstand years of outdoor exposure. It is very easy to install and to connect to the receiver built into the garage door opener. Keyboard lighting makes it easy to use in the dark. Overall, a well made device that is complementary with the Direct Drive garage door opener, which is the best unit of its type I have owned.

Bought this as an alternative to carrying around the fob everywhere if we left through the garage. Works as advertised and is very easy to program and setup. The quality of the plastic is sturdy and well built. The buttons stick out and are easy to push with enough space between them so that you don't accidentally hit a wrong button next to it. Back-lit keys easy to see. Overall satisfied with it.

I bought this unit to work with my new Sommer 1052V000 garage door opener. Advice to other customers... Read ALL of the directions first!!! This unit comes "locked" from the factory, and only explains about half way through how to unlock it. Using the factory default code it synched with my opener flawlessly. Even with the instructions, programming your own code is a little tricky! I don't know if I was going too slow or too fast, but it took several tries to get my own code programmed in. Once it was synched, and I finally got my code in, the wireless remote works great! Mounting it outside my door was easy too using the provided hardware.

I INSTALLED THIS YESTERDAY AND IT IS WORKING AS IT SHOULD. BE ADVISED: YOU NEED TO BE VERY DELIBERATE WHEN YOU INTER YOUR CODE. DON'T TRY TO PUT YOUR CODE IN AT THE SPEED OF SOUND. BE VERY METHODICAL AND DELIBERATE. I FOUND THAT OUT BY TRIAL AND ERROR. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO WAIT FOR THE KEYPAD TO LET YOU MAKE ANOTHER ATTEMPT, TAKE YOUR TIME. LIKE THEY SAY: HASTE MAKES WASTE. I FOUND THE INSTRUCTIONS TO BE AN ABSOLUTE WASTE OF PAPER AND TIME. SOMETHING LOST IN THE TRANSLATION. I'M VERY THANKFUL FOR YOUTUBE. THERE IS A NICE, SHORT AND TO THE POINT INSTRUCTION VIDEO ON HOW TO PROGRAM THIS THING. JUST TYPE IN THE PRODUCT AND VIEW THE CONCISE INSTALLATION VIDEO AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTION AND YOU SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO. I PURCHASED MY DIRECT DRIVE 4078V001 310 MHz WIRELESS KEYPAD THROUGH NORTH SHORE COMMERCIAL DOOR FOR A TOTAL OF $34.00. THAT WAS THE BEST PRICE I FOUND AND SHIPPING WAS FAST AS GREASED LIGHTENING. GOOD LUCK

works as expected. overpriced though.

I am in the process of finishing building a new home. The builder included the garage door opener with the price of the home. I told him that I would like to purchase my own opener and he agreed. I ordered the Sommer Direlct Drive 3/4 HP opener. The builder had the garage door installer also install the opener. I ask them what they thought about this opener and they both said it was the quietest opener they had ever seen and thought it was one of the best openers they had ever installed. I have installed many openers in my past and this is by far the very best one that I have ever seen. I would recommend it to anyone that wants a very quiet opener.

Directions are no good. Had to contact SOMMER directly by phone, talked us through the programming process. Works perfectly with 1.0HP SOMMER opener. No lag time here as other reviews indicate. Tip....when you remove the sticker which has the secret number on it to clear and reset the unit, place it on the back of the housing that screws into the wall! This way you know where it is and accessible if and when you may need it!

Bought the Sommer Opener and could not get my old keypad to sync. Bought this replacement and had nothing but trouble; until I took the time to read the instructions. Quick, Easy, Works; When done by the numbers. (I can't knock off a star for my own self-inflicted issue). The slide is stiff, FYI.
