Grifco operators: which manuals this guide uses
The Door Hero is not connected with Grifco. The steps here come from Grifco's own manuals.
Grifco builds operators mainly for commercial and industrial doors: roller shutters, roller doors, sectional doors and fire shutters, plus the LG-Drive for gates. Grifco ANZ says its products are made in Australia and tested in Somersby, NSW.
Grifco publishes commercial and trade manuals, with no homeowner remote guide. Two of its documents could be read for this page: the manual for the GLD-RDO, and the instructions for the E960G keyring remote, backed by Grifco's trade support notes on the C10A wall control. Those are the only Grifco models covered here. For any other Grifco opener, check the manual for your model.
These are commercial operators
Grifco's manual describes the GLD-RDO as a light commercial roller door operator that must be installed and serviced by a trained technician only. Coding or erasing a remote follows the short steps below. Anything past that, inside the operator or on the door itself, belongs with a door specialist.
Coding a remote on the Grifco GLD-RDO
Confirm it is a GLD-RDO
These steps are from the GLD-RDO manual and apply to that operator. Read the model from its label before you begin.
Hold down the remote's button
Choose the remote button you want to run the door, press it and keep it pressed.
Tap the yellow S button for 1 second
With the remote button still down, press the yellow S button on the operator for 1 second.
Wait for two flashes
Let go when the courtesy light flashes twice, as Grifco's manual describes.
Try it with the doorway empty
Move out of the door's path, keep the whole curtain in sight, and press the remote once.
How many remotes a GLD-RDO stores
Grifco's manual says the GLD-RDO holds 64 hand transmitters and 2 keypads. It lists three frequencies for the operator: 433.30, 433.92 and 434.54 MHz.
Remotes sold as universal, or made for a different opener, are worth checking against those figures before you buy one for this operator.
Grifco roller door reset: erasing every remote on a GLD-RDO
Press S and keep holding
On the GLD-RDO, press the yellow S button and do not release it.
Ignore the first double flash
Grifco's manual says the light flashes twice after about 8 seconds. Stay on the button.
Release at the second double flash
Let go when the light flashes twice again. That clears all the remotes.
Go round again only to remove myQ
The manual says repeating the whole hold also erases myQ, the phone connection Grifco offers among its accessories.
Put back the remotes you are keeping
Nothing stays in memory after an erase, so run the coding steps for each remote you still use.
Security+ 2.0 operators and the C10A wall control
Some Grifco commercial operators run Security+ or Security+ 2.0 and are worked from a C10A wall control. On these, Grifco's documents learn remotes at the C10A rather than at the operator.
Grifco's trade support page says handheld remotes must be learned within the first 30 seconds of Learn Mode, that the orange limit light flashes for each accessory learned, and that STOP exits Learn Mode.
Neither Grifco document read here gives steps for setting or clearing the door's travel limits, on the C10A or the GLD-RDO. For a limit reset, check the manual for your model, and leave limit work to a door specialist.
Learning an E960G keyring remote at the C10A
Check the remote suits your operator
Grifco's E960G instructions say this four channel keyring remote suits Grifco commercial operators with Security+ and Security+ 2.0.
Hold SET and press STOP 5 times
At the C10A, keep SET held and press STOP 5 times. The green light flashes.
Release SET
Let go of SET with the E960G already in your other hand. Grifco's support page allows handheld remotes the first 30 seconds of Learn Mode.
Press the E960G button
Press the remote button you want to use. The orange LIMIT ERROR light flashes to show it has been taken in.
Press STOP to leave
Press STOP on the C10A to exit, then test the remote with the doorway clear.
Grifco remote batteries
Grifco's GLD-RDO manual says its remotes take CR2032 batteries that last 3 to 5 years. The E960G instructions name a CR2032 as well.
Queensland Fair Trading lists remote controls among the common products holding button batteries, and says a lodged battery can cause severe burns in as little as 2 hours. It says to keep spares locked away, tape used ones, and take them to a B-cycle drop-off point rather than any bin. More on spotting a flat remote is in garage remote not working.
What to tell the door specialist
- The operator model from its label, such as GLD-RDO, or that a C10A wall control runs it
- Whether the door is a roller door, a roller shutter or a sectional door
- Which remote you hold, for example an E960G keyring
- Whether the remotes have already been erased, and how many need coding back
- What the lights did when you tried
Getting help with a Grifco operator
The door specialist who takes your job may or may not work on Grifco operators. Naming the model when you tell us the job lets them see what they are dealing with before they visit. The general garage remote programming guide covers how openers learn remotes across makes, and resetting an opener explains the other kinds of reset.
What you can do, and what to leave
You can
- Code a remote using the steps for your exact model
- Erase every remote after one goes missing, then code back the rest
- Replace a remote battery, out of children's reach
Leave to a door specialist
- Installing or servicing the operator, which Grifco's GLD-RDO manual reserves for a trained technician
- Setting or clearing the door's travel limits
- A Grifco model whose manual you can't find
What we would do
Before holding S to erase a GLD-RDO, collect every remote you mean to keep and have them beside you. The erase clears the lot, and coding each one straight back while you are still at the operator saves a second climb.
