Most garage door openers manufactured by the following brands are compatible:
• Chamberlain: all garage door openers with the following program button colors on the monitor portion of the
operator: yellow, purple, orange, green and red.
• Craftsman: all garage door openers with the following program button colors on the monitor portion of the operator:
yellow, purple, orange, green and red.
• Genie: all garage door openers manufactured between 1996 and 2016. (Intellicode 1 and Intellicode 2)
◦ In 2016, Genie began manufacturing their garage door opener radio receivers so that they no longer are able to
be programmed/controlled with LiftMaster/Chamberlain universal remotes. This includes the universal remote
built into the 821LM MyQ Garage Universal hub. The year of manufacture can be determined using the first two
digits of the serial number on the garage door opener (e.g., serial number (SN) 1420955 would indicate that the
garage door opener was manufactured in 2014 and should be compatible). The serial number may be printed
in a variety of places on the GDO, depending on the model.
• LiftMaster: all garage door openers with the following program button colors on the monitor portion of the operator:
yellow, purple, orange, green and red.
• Linear: all garage door openers
• Overhead Door: nearly all models manufactured after 1996 and before 2016, using the CodeDodger radio remote
receiver.
◦ In 2016, Overhead Door began manufacturing their garage door opener radio receivers so that they no longer
are able to be programmed/controlled with LiftMaster/Chamberlain universal remotes. This includes the
universal remote built into the MyQ Smart Garage Hub. The year of manufacture can be determined using the
first two digits of the serial number on the garage door opener (e.g., serial number (SN) 132744210857OA
would indicate that the garage door opener was manufactured in 2013 and should be compatible). The serial
number may be printed in a variety of places on the GDO, depending on the model.
• Raynor: all garage door openers with the following program button colors on the motor portion of the operator:
yellow, purple, orange, green and red.
• Stanley: all garage door openers with a program (remote transmitter learn) button on the motor portion of the
operator.
• Wayne Dalton: most models including Classic drive, DoorMaster, iDrive, ProDrive and Quantum.
• Others that are also compatible if manufactured after 1993: Access Master, AssureLink, BuildMark, Do-It, Garage
Access, Master Mechanic and True Value
Note: For more information regarding compatibility, see Garage Compatibility or alarm.com/821lm. The LiftMaster
compatibility page provides information about specific manufacturers' model series (e.g. Genie Excelerator), rolling code
technologies (e.g. Linear MegaCode), and some model numbers (e.g. Overhead Door 2026), indicating whether or not
they are compatible for remote control.
The model number is the best indicator of expected compatibility. However, specific model numbers are only provided
for those models that have been specifically tested by LiftMaster. The model number is typically printed on a small
sticker somewhere on the garage door opener head unit. If a model number is omitted from this document, that does not
necessarily mean that it is incompatible. Look for the garage door opener's manual online to see if it is related to any
model numbers that are on LiftMaster's compatibility article linked above. This should indicate whether it is expected to
work.
