3-Button Remote for LiftMaster, Chamberlain & Craftsman
Two aftermarket 3-button remotes for LiftMaster, Chamberlain and Sears Craftsman openers made from 1993 onwards. Each button can be paired to a different opener, so one remote covers up to three doors or gates and you stop carrying three separate clickers. The 2-pack comes with CR2032 batteries already fitted, two visor clips and a printed manual.
Before You Buy: Check Your Learn Button Colour
Compatibility is decided by the colour of the learn button on the opener motor unit — the button itself, not the LED next to it. If your learn button is Purple, Red/Orange, Yellow or Green, this remote covers your opener.
| Learn button | Code system | Openers made |
|---|---|---|
| Purple | Security+ 315 MHz | 2005 – 2014 |
| Red / Orange | Security+ 390 MHz | 1997 – 2005 |
| Yellow | Security+ 2.0 | 2011 onwards |
| Green | Billion Code | 1993 – 1997 |
This remote will not work with:
- Openers with a white learn button (the newest generation)
- DIP-switch / fixed-code openers
- Genie, Overhead Door or Linear openers
- Vehicle HomeLink or Car2U training — this remote does not copy into a car’s built-in buttons
Two Working Modes — Set This Before You Pair
The remote transmits in one of two working modes, and it has to match your opener’s code family. If the mode is wrong the remote still lights up and still transmits — the opener just ignores it and the door does not move. This is the most common reason a brand new remote appears dead.
Hold any button down and watch the LED:
| LED while holding a button | Working mode | Use with openers |
|---|---|---|
| Solid (stays on) | Mode 1 | Purple and Red/Orange learn buttons |
| Flashing (blinks) | Mode 2 | Yellow and Green learn buttons |
If the LED pattern does not match your learn button colour, switch the working mode before programming. The switch sequence is printed in the manual that comes in the box.
Compatible Remote Models by Generation
If you still have the old remote, match its model number below. This remote works with the same openers as every model listed; the four groups follow the four learn button generations.
Some entries — 371LM and 971LM for example — are single-button remotes. This 3-button remote replaces them, but you only program the buttons you actually need; the others stay dormant.

How to Program the Remote
- Take a ladder to the opener motor unit and note the colour of the learn button. Check the remote’s working mode matches it, as described above.
- Press and release the learn button on the opener. The learn LED glows steadily for about 30 seconds.
- Within those 30 seconds, press and hold the remote button you want to use. Release it when the opener light blinks or you hear two clicks — that is the confirmation.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 with a different button for each additional door. One remote can hold up to three doors.
Troubleshooting
| What you see | What to try |
|---|---|
| Remote lights up but the door does not move | The working mode does not match your learn button colour. Switch modes and try again — if it still fails, try the other mode anyway, as learn button colours are sometimes misjudged. |
| Programming a new remote cancelled an old one | The opener’s memory may be full. Erase the opener memory following its own manual, then program the remotes again. |
| Short range, or it only works sometimes | Fit a fresh CR2032 battery. |
| Programming will not take | Close the garage door first, then program. |
| One particular button does nothing | Try programming a different button on the remote. |

Frequently Asked Questions
How many garage doors can this remote control?
Up to three. Each of the three buttons can be paired to a different door or gate, and a single remote can hold all three at once.
How do I know whether my opener is compatible?
Look at the learn button on the opener motor unit. Purple, Red/Orange, Yellow and Green are all covered. White is not.
Will it work with a white learn button opener?
No. White learn buttons belong to the newest generation of openers, and this remote does not support that system.
Can I use it to train my car’s HomeLink or Car2U buttons?
No. This remote is not intended for vehicle HomeLink or Car2U training.
What is the difference between Mode 1 and Mode 2?
Mode 1 (LED solid) drives Purple and Red/Orange learn button openers; Mode 2 (LED flashing) drives Yellow and Green ones. Hold a button and watch the LED to see which mode the remote is currently in.
Does it work with Genie, Overhead Door, Linear or DIP-switch openers?
No. It is built for the LiftMaster, Chamberlain and Sears Craftsman families only, and it does not work with fixed-code DIP-switch systems.
What battery does it use?
A CR2032 coin cell, already fitted.
Looking for a different form factor?
See the mini keychain remote for the same brand family in a smaller body, or the 3-pack 893LM version if you mainly need Security+ 2.0 models.
