AOID universal garage remote: one fob that clones over 250 remotes
Twenty-plus brands, one transmitter
The Auto Openers AOID is built to clone more than 250 different remote controls spanning the major brands sold in Australia and New Zealand: ATA, Avanti, B&D, CAME, Centurion, Chamberlain, Ditec, Doorhan, Fadini, Genius, Gliderol, Grifco, Liftmaster, Mhouse, Merlin, SEAV, Steel-Line, Stoddard, Superlift and Tiltamatic. That breadth makes it the pragmatic answer when your opener brand is obscure, your original remote is discontinued, or you simply want one fob instead of three. Cloning your existing remote takes under 10 seconds using the straightforward instructions supplied in the box. For rural properties and rentals where the opener's paperwork is long gone, that breadth of coverage removes most of the identification work, and support for both Australian and New Zealand brands matters for older imported systems too.
Built harder than the remote it replaces
Daily-carry remotes live a rough life, so the AOID uses resilient buttons and a hardened case designed to survive drops, plus a screw-secured battery compartment that keeps the cell away from small children. A larger battery than typical fobs extends both transmission range and overall service life between changes. At $23.98 it often costs less than a single branded replacement, which explains why many customers clone every family remote onto AOID units and retire the fragile originals to a drawer as masters. It sits comfortably on a key ring without adding real bulk. The screw-secured compartment also stops the battery ejecting when the fob hits concrete, so a single AOID can genuinely retire a glovebox full of ageing transmitters.
Where the AOID fits among our universal remotes
Simple fixed-code duplication jobs can be handled by the cheaper Universal 433.92MHz 4 button cloning key fob two-pack or the bulk Universal 433.92MHz 4 button fixed code cloner three-pack. B&D owners with the older 27.145MHz Controll-A-Door systems need dedicated hardware — the B&D Controll-A-Door CAD4 remote upgrade kit handles those. The AOID's advantage is coverage: when you are not certain what you have, it is the safest single purchase. If you can name your motor, a brand-matched remote is sometimes cheaper; if you cannot, the AOID's coverage is the insurance.

Frequently asked questions
Which brands can the AOID universal remote clone?
It clones over 250 remote models across more than 20 brands, including ATA, Avanti, B&D, CAME, Centurion, Chamberlain, Ditec, Doorhan, Fadini, Genius, Gliderol, Grifco, Liftmaster, Mhouse, Merlin, SEAV, Steel-Line, Stoddard, Superlift and Tiltamatic. Coverage is tailored to openers sold in Australia and New Zealand. If your brand is listed, there is a strong chance your specific remote model is supported.
How long does it take to program the AOID?
Cloning an existing remote takes under 10 seconds once you follow the supplied instructions, which walk through the process step by step. You place your working remote near the AOID, enter the cloning mode and press the buttons to copy. No tools, computers or technician visits are involved, making it one of the quickest universal remotes to set up from the box.
Is the AOID durable enough for everyday key ring use?
Yes, durability is a design focus. The buttons are resilient, the hardened case is built to withstand drops, and the battery compartment is secured with a screw for child safety. The AOID also carries a larger battery than most fobs, extending transmission range and time between battery changes. It is intended to live on a key ring and absorb daily knocks for years.
Do I need my original remote to set up the AOID?
The AOID is a cloning remote, so the standard setup copies the signal from an existing working remote in under 10 seconds. If every original is lost, setup options depend on your opener model and receiver, so email contact@theremotefactory.com.au with your motor details before ordering. Our team can advise whether the AOID or a brand-specific replacement is the better path for your situation.
