Garage Door & Gate Remotes
Replacement remotes and keypads for garage doors and gates, covering nine opener families from LiftMaster and Chamberlain to Came, BFT and Nice. Everything here is an aftermarket replacement for a named original, so the fastest route is to check three things about your opener before you buy.
Choose a Replacement Remote in Three Steps
Every remote in this collection is a replacement for a specific opener family. Three checks narrow it down: the brand on the opener, the way the opener takes a new remote, and the shape you want in your hand or on your visor.
| Step | What to check | Where to find it |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Brand | The make printed on the opener motor unit or the old remote | Motor unit label, or the back of the old remote |
| 2. Coding type | A learn button, or a row of small DIP switches | Inside the motor unit cover, or on an external receiver |
| 3. Shape | Button count, keypad, or mini keychain | How many doors or gates you need to open |
Learn Button or DIP Switch — Which Do You Have?
This is the single most common reason a replacement remote does not work, so check it before ordering.
Learn button (rolling code). The opener has a small button that puts it into pairing mode, and the code changes with every press. You pair the remote by pressing that button and then the remote. On LiftMaster, Chamberlain and Craftsman openers the button colour tells you the generation at a glance.
| Learn button colour | Generation | Years |
|---|---|---|
| Yellow | Security+ 2.0 | 2011 onwards |
| Purple | Security+ 315 MHz | 2005 – 2014 |
| Red / Orange | Security+ 390 MHz | 1997 – 2005 |
| Green | Billion Code | 1993 – 1997 |
DIP switch (fixed code). No button and no pairing. You open the remote and set a row of tiny switches to match the pattern on the opener. Only a fixed-code remote will do here, and a rolling-code remote cannot be made to work on these systems.
300 MHz and 310 MHz Fixed-Code Systems Look Identical
Multicode and Linear fixed-code remotes usually run at 300 MHz. Stanley and some other fixed-code systems run at 310 MHz. The cases look the same and the switch count is often the same — but a 310 MHz transmitter will not trigger a 300 MHz receiver, and the reverse is also true. The frequency is printed on the label of the old remote or on the receiver.
There is a longer explanation of the difference, including how to read the label, in our guide to DIP switch versus Security+ remotes.
Brands in This Collection

Two-Packs, Keypads and Mini Remotes
Most listings here ship as a 2-pack with batteries and visor clips; the Came listing is a 3-pack. If you want to open the door without carrying a remote, the collection also includes wall-mounted keypads with a PIN and a flip cover. If you want something that disappears into a pocket, look for the mini keychain remote.
Still Not Sure Which One?
Read the model number off the back of the old remote — every product page in this collection lists the models it replaces. If the model is worn off, the learn button colour or the DIP switch count on the opener will usually be enough to place it.
