How To Program A Liftmaster Remote Garage Door Opener

LiftMaster is a leading manufacturer of garage door openers, and their remotes can be easily programmed to work with your garage door. Here are the steps on how to program a LiftMaster remote garage door opener:

Gather your materials

You will need the following items:

A LiftMaster remote control
A ladder
A screwdriver

Locate the Learn button

The Learn button is usually located on the back of the garage door opener motor unit. It is a small, round button that is usually red or green.

Press and hold the Learn button

Press and hold the Learn button for 2 seconds. The LED light on the garage door opener will start to flash.

Press the button on the remote control

Press and hold the button on the remote control that you want to program. The LED light on the remote control will start to flash.

Release both buttons

Once the LED lights on both the garage door opener and the remote control stop flashing, release both buttons.

Test the remote control

Press the button on the remote control to open and close the garage door. If the garage door opens and closes properly, then the remote control has been successfully programmed.

Repeat for additional remotes

If you have additional remotes that you want to program, repeat steps 3-6 for each remote.

Tips

If you are having trouble programming the remote control, make sure that the batteries are fresh and that the antenna on the garage door opener is extended.
If you have a Chamberlain garage door opener, the programming process is slightly different. Consult your owner's manual for specific instructions.
