Does Your Garage Door Opener Go Wherever You Do? This One Can

Since we moved, one thing we are super thrilled about is having an attached garage. It is great (when it is clean) you can keep your cars warm and snow-free, and I am shocked at how often we use it as our main door for entering and leaving the house.

One time when it is not so great is when we leave thru the garage for a walk or bike ride, we don’t want to take the garage door opener from the car – it will never be returned and it’s a bit bulky, and the keys are a nuisance (at least mine are because for some reason I have like 50 keys on there).

That’s why we are excited about the Chamberlain’s Universal Garage Door Mini Remote. We have used some other products from Chamberlain in the past with very positive results, so we were excited to see how the Mini Remotes worked.

The Chamberlain Mini Garage Remote is about the size of an automotive key fab and fits easily in a pocket and works just like your regular garage door opener you have in your car.

This Mini Remote is perfect for “on the go.” Take it with you anywhere and you can feel safe that your house is secure and you have easy access to get back in easily. This Mini Remote has two buttons on it, so you can set it up to control 2 doors, or you can also set it up to work with other MyQ lights, gates and more.

The Mini Remotes from Chamberlain work with just about every garage opener made after 1993 and programming is a cinch. It literally takes about 2 minutes to setup a new remote. Simply enter program mode by holding down the bottom button on your remote and then press the learn button on your opener and shortly after that you are good to go.

There are tons of uses for the Chamberlain Mini Remotes. We actually are using ours for the kids. They are still a little young to trust with keys that can easily be lost, but for an emergency, we have secured the Mini Remotes in their backpacks so they have the ability to get into the house in case of an emergency or any other random need.Chamberlain Mini Garage Remote

There are so many different uses for your Chamberlain Mini Remote, between you, your spouse, kids, & family there are tons of ways that the Mini Remote can improve your life. They are available online and at just about every retail store that sells garage door openers. Coming in at under $50 bucks they are well worth the investment for everything they offer.

We use ours all the time, how will you use yours?

    My garage door remote barely works and I am trying to figure out why! I would love to get these mini remotes and see if it can open and close my garage door. I will be checking them out!

Hey there! I’m Tesa, the mom behind 2 Wired 2 Tired. The blog got its name because we have two kids born a year apart and my husband, Dave, and I always joked that "the kids were too wired and we were too tired!" :)

Fast forward a bit—now the kids are off to college (how did that happened so fast!) and since 2009, I’ve been blogging through the chaos, coffee in hand, finding the best in family, travel, and tech—because honestly, who has time for bad gadgets and boring trips?

So, whether you're searching for family travel inspiration, tech gadgets, or tips to enhance family life, you're in the right place because the fun (and the coffee) is always brewing around here!
