Mighty Mule Single Button Gate Opener Remote (FM135) , Black

They are great much better than the new model

It works without any problem, it's just a matter of configuring the internal combination and you're ready to go

Easy to program to gate operator. Was even able to use remote openers from old gate operator.

We bought a Mighty Mule gate opener years ago and it ended up sitting in the box, in the basement for a decade. I nagged enough that the husband finally got around to installing it this summer. By then, the included remote would not work, nor would the key chain one we bought at the same time. We bought and installed new batteries, but still they didn't work. So finally, I ordered three of these Mighty Mule transmitters, as well as a post-mounted keypad. By golly, we finally can get in and out of this place! Unfortunately, during the winter when the temperatures got very cold, the opener would not function. After several calls to Mighty Mule about the problem (and having to pull the cotter pin and keep the gate open for weeks), the husband was given advice to hook up a second battery to the opener, that the cold temps were draining the opener's battery (even though we had bought a new one). Apparently, the cold was too much for it and it needed a second one to give it enough power to activate the gate opener. One day we put a heating pad on the battery to get things to work, and they did.Now, I'm not happy about that---why should you have to hook up an opener to two batteries? But, that's not this transmitter's fault. So yes, the remote transmitter is fine, but the idea that one needs to hook up the actual opener to two batteries during cold weather seems a little extreme. It's not like we live in Alaska---we're in Missouri.

The fob is bigger than it looks - much thicker than expected. Not really designed to be on a key chain as it is too big in most cases. Comes with a car visor clip that is too small for a Toyota sun visor. Instructions did not match the gate opener I had from the same company. Had to guess which part of the instructions matched my particular gate opener of the same brand. That is, it did not say for this set of models, use this part of the instructions. Experimented and got them to work through trial and error. Wish the fob was better designed to fit on a key ring.

It works but so does the knockoff

I bought several to stash in convenient places near my doors in case I didn't have my personal one on me and needed to open the gate. Good units.

I had my Mighty Mule remote gate opener clipped to my belt while weed eating the lawn, the clip broke off and I lost the remote. Never could find it. Over 6 months later, I found it laying in the garden area. This was right after the big winter storm that hit here in Texas in February, 2021. The ground was thawed out when I found it, with the remote having been buried under 5" of snow and ice for over a week. The temperatures during that time were below freezing, getting as low as 7 degrees.I took it into the house, took it apart and let it dry out. I checked the battery and it was of course dead so I replaced it. Put it all back together, installed a new battery and it works like it was brand new. Needless to say I am very impressed with the little remote. It went from 100 degree tempts in the summer to freezing tempts in the winter all while lying in our outdoor garden for over 6 months.
