Three Button Counts, One Price
This listing carries the same remote platform in three button counts, all at the same price and all supplied as a pair. The right one depends on how many doors or gates you need to open — and each variant has its own programming procedure, described in full below.
| Variant | Buttons | Doors | In the box |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 button | 1 | 1 | 2 remotes, 2 visor clips, 2 CR2032 batteries, 1 programming sheet |
| 3 button | 3 | Up to 3 | 2 remotes, 2 visor clips, 2 CR2032 batteries, 1 programming sheet |
| 4 button | 4 | Up to 4 | 2 remotes, 2 CR2032 batteries, 1 programming sheet |
Before You Buy: Five Learn Button Colours
Compatibility is decided by the colour of the learn button on the opener motor unit and the year the opener was built. All five colours below are covered.
| Learn button | Years | Code system |
|---|---|---|
| Yellow | 2011 onwards | Security+ 2.0 |
| Purple | 2005 – 2014 | Security+ 315 MHz |
| Red | 1997 – 2005 | Security+ 390 MHz |
| Orange | 1997 – 2005 | Security+ 390 MHz |
| Green | 1993 – 1997 | Billion Code (fixed code) |
The remote spans three coding generations — Billion Code from 1993, Security+ through the 2000s, and Security+ 2.0 from 2011. It is not a Security+ 2.0 only remote.
Only compatible with:
- LiftMaster, Chamberlain and Craftsman
- Openers with a learn button
Not compatible with:
- Any DIP switch system
- Genie or Overhead Door openers

How to Program the 3-Button Variant
This is the procedure printed on the 893 LM sheet supplied with the 3-button remote. It is not the same as the 1-button or 4-button procedure.
- Start with the door or gate closed. Locate the learn button on the opener head unit.
- Press and hold buttons II and III at the same time until the remote LED stays on, then release.
- Within 15 seconds, press the button you want to program. Then press any other button once to confirm.
- Press and immediately release the learn button on the opener. Its LED glows steadily for about 30 seconds.
- Press and hold the same button until the opener lights blink or you hear two clicks.
How to Program the 4-Button Variant
The 4-button remote uses a case with buttons marked A, B, C and D under a sliding cover, and a different sequence again.
- Start with the door or gate closed. Locate the learn button on the opener head unit.
- Press and hold A and B at the same time until the remote LED flashes quickly, then release. This puts the remote into programming mode.
- Choose the button you want to program and press it the number of times shown in the table below, then press and release any other button to exit programming mode.
- Press and release the opener learn button, then press and hold the button you selected in step 3 until you hear two clicks from the opener.
Press count — used by both the 4-button variant (step 3) and the 1-button variant (step 3). It depends on the learn button colour:
| Learn button colour | Presses |
|---|---|
| Yellow | 1 |
| Purple | 2 |
| Red | 3 |
| Orange | 3 |
| Green | 4 |
How to Program the 1-Button Variant
The 1-button remote uses a PROG button on the back of the case, reached by removing the visor clip. It is a different sequence from the 3- and 4-button variants.
- Start with the door or gate closed. Locate the learn button on the opener and note its colour.
- Using the visor clip, press and hold the PROG button on the back of the remote until the LED turns on.
- Press the front button the number of times shown in the press count table above, then press and release PROG again until the LED turns off to leave programming mode.
- Press and immediately release the learn button on the opener. Its LED glows steadily for about 30 seconds.
- Press the front button again until the opener lights blink or you hear two clicks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which button count should I buy?
One button per door or gate. A single garage takes the 1-button variant; a house with two doors and a gate takes the 3-button variant.
Are the three variants the same remote?
Same platform and the same compatibility, but not the same case and not the same programming procedure. The 1-, 3- and 4-button variants each have their own sequence, given above.
Why do the programming steps differ between variants?
Each button count enters programming mode with a different key combination, and the 4-button variant additionally uses a press count that depends on the learn button colour. Following the wrong sheet is the most common reason a remote appears not to work.
Will it work with a DIP switch opener?
No. This remote is learn-button only.
Does it work with Genie or Overhead Door?
No. LiftMaster, Chamberlain and Craftsman only.
Why will my remote not program?
Check, in order: the door is closed, you used the procedure that matches your button count, and the learn button colour is one of the five listed. If the opener memory is full, erase it following the opener manual and start again.
What battery does it take?
A CR2032 coin cell, included and pre-fitted.
