Customer Reviews

It's a remote.... works fine

2008-05-21
Amazon Rocks as a seller!! It isn't exceptional (that would be a five). It works well, seems solid and therefore not a 3 but a 4.

Super service!

Not only does this product perform flawlessly, the supplier was excellent to work with, as we ordered the wrong model and they supplied a replacement with no hassle, we just had to pay the postage. They were responsive, courteous and a pleasure to deal with.

worked perfectly with a Chamberlain 2280

2008-05-02
Have a Chamberlain LiftMaster Professional model 2280 with "Security+" (just marketing talk for the rolling changing code that all openers have had for 10+ yrs), and an orange learn button (we'll come back to this) on the back of the unit under the rear translucent light bulb cover. The opener manual specifies a 976LM keypad for this unit. This keypad has a 9v battery, lights up, allows an additional temporary code to be set by # of openings or # of hours, and is grayish-cream in color. Two screws to mount the unit, with one mounting hole on the top outside of the keypad and the other behind the battery cover at bottom. Contrary to comments elsewhere: 1) you do not have to hold the buttons down longer to get them to "take" ... I just punch 'em in like any other keypad I've had over the years; 2) it does not take time to reset if you mistype ... it just takes the last 4 digits you entered before pressing Send and reacts immediately if you enter a new set. Nice because you don't have to close and re-open the cover or hit Send if you know you mistyped ... just enter the last 4 digits correctly before hitting Send; 3) the buttons are the common "rubbery" ones on most all openers and they're fine; and 4) you CAN set a temporary code. Now you're going to love this ... the Chamberlain website: a) doesn't recognize a 2280 model # garage opener (I'm staring at it on the cover of the manual and it's stamped on the opener); b) doesn't say anything about a 976LM keypad; c) specifies the 940CB keypad if you have a red learning button, or a 940D if you have a purple learning button, or a 740CB for "older models" (which bringing up the instructions says applies to yellow, grey, green, or white learning button units); and d) ... has no orange button recommendation! Unforgiveable. However, the instructions that actually come with the 976LM keypad clearly say it's for units "with an orange learning button" ... which is what I have ... go figure. Keypads are all $40 on Chamberlain site, so $25 here is a good deal. In summary, simple to install (2 screws), simple to program (press & release the Learn button on your overhead opener, enter a 4 digit code on the keypad, and press & hold Enter on the keypad until your garage opener light blinks), and works fine ... at least for us orange button people.

Make Life a Little Easier

So much easier than hiding extra keys under a fake-looking rock, behind the barbecue grill, etc. Very easy to use and install.

Check for compatiblity

2008-04-16
Though our garage is a LiftMaster, this product is NOT compatible with those units that have a PURPLE button.

very happy

I love this thing. It seriously took me 2 minutes to sync it with my garage door opener and installation took about 5 minutes. Now my kids can get into the garage without having a key.

Exactly as advertised

Sets up in 5 minutes. It's only downfall is that you have to really press the buttons firmly to enter your code. It would be nice if Amazon.ca offered as many products as Amazon.com. The shipping from the US to Canada cost almost as much as the entire product.

Great product, works flawlessly, best $30 I've spent in years.

I ordered this product from Amazon after I returned the generic product sold by the big box stores. I configured the unit, following the instructions inside the cover of the unit itself, in about 30 seconds and it's worked perfectly ever since. Per the manufacturer, this is the ONLY unit that is compatible with my Liftmaster high security model manufactured in 2002.

Easy Installation

2008-06-07
I made sure the wireless key entry matched my garage door opener: same manufacturer and correct model. The installation took only a few minutes. The directions were easy to follow. It works perfectly.

Very Convenient and easy to install

I ended up buying this product because my children kept misplacing their house keys. It was easy to install and works just as I had hoped it would. No more lock outs!
