Different garage door openers operate on different frequencies. However, some of these frequencies overlap and garage door opener remotes that operate on one frequency will open a door if it happens to be one that operates on the same frequency. However, there are opener remotes that use multiple frequencies and are marketed as replacements for lost remotes. They will open most doors.

A lot of older models are replaceable, however, depending on the type of system, you may not be able to replace your remote: if your remote does not contain dip switches (and is at least 15 years old), you will need a new receiver. A receiver is much less expensive than replacing the entire operator and is easily installed (most residential receivers have 3 connections), clear and easy instructions and schematics are included.
