How to Program the Keypad on a Craftsman One-Half HP Garage Door

Craftsman, a power tool company owned by Sears, makes several models of half-horsepower garage door opener. Each one comes with a wireless keypad that connects to the outside of the house and opens and closes the garage. Before the keypad can be used to control your Craftsman opener, the owner must connect it to the system and assign a four-digit entry code. The code will be used to open and close the door from outside the house.
