hello,

my locksmith installed a keybox on the exterior wall of my house a while back to open and close my garage door using a key. inside the box he used 2 snap-acting switches to open and close the door. this device was removed over a year ago during a remodeling project and now i want to re-install it. rather than incure the expense of the locksmith coming back out i thought i might try to do it myself. however, i am not too familiar with how to wire the terminals.

here is a link to what these switches look like:

any advise on how to wire this device or ones simialr to it would be helpful. any links to resources of how to sites would be great.

take care.

For a carage door to open all you realy need is a one switch closure to the transmitter. If there are two switches then there is something that i cannot guess. On my carage there is a microswitch just like that whereby a pen inserted on the side will opent the door. You can get fancy and have code boxes and all but it needs a closure to activate.
