How to Change the Batteries in a Hörmann Remote: A Step-by-Step Guide

If your Hörmann remote is acting up or not responding as it should, it might be time to replace its batteries. Don’t worry—this is a quick and straightforward process that you can handle yourself. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get your remote back in working order.

What You’ll Need

A replacement battery (commonly a CR2032).
A small flathead screwdriver or a similar tool to open the remote casing.

Step 1: Identify Your Remote Model

Before you begin, check the model of your Hörmann remote. The battery type may vary depending on the model, so it’s essential to have the correct replacement on hand.

Step 2: Check if the light is flashing

A Hörmann remote will tell you when it needs changing. It does this by flashing red when you press the button to let you know that the charge is low.

Step 3: Open the Remote

Locate the seam or groove on the back of the remote. Use a small flathead screwdriver or a similar tool to gently pry open the casing. Be careful not to apply too much force to avoid damaging the remote.

Step 4: Remove the Old Battery

Once the casing is open, you’ll see the battery inside. Carefully remove it by sliding it out of its socket. Take note of the battery’s orientation (positive and negative sides) so you can insert the new one correctly.

Step 5: Insert the New Battery

Take your new battery and align it with the correct orientation. Slide it into the socket, ensuring it fits snugly.

Step 6: Close the Remote

Align the two halves of the remote casing. Press them together until you hear a click, indicating that the casing is securely closed.

Step 7: Test the Remote

Press the button. Check that the light has turned blue. This indicates that the remote is ready. If it doesn’t respond, double-check the battery orientation and ensure the casing is properly closed.

Tips for Success

Always use the recommended battery type for your specific remote model.
Dispose of the old battery responsibly by taking it to a recycling centre or a designated battery disposal point.
