The first thing you need to do is figure out which model Liftmaster Keypad you’ll need based on the type of door opener motor you have. Liftmaster garage door openers have a colored “Learn” button on the back of the unit with all of the control settings. The color of the button determines the type of remote keypad your opener requires.
Once you’ve identified the type of Liftmaster garage door opener you have it’s easy to pick up the correct remote keypad. The following is a list of the correct remote keypads for your garage door opener.
Once you’ve purchased the remote keypad you’ll need to program it to open your garage door. This needs to be done BEFORE you install the keypad on the house. The steps are very easy.
Once you’ve set the PIN number on your new remote keypad all you need to do is install it in a convenient place outside the garage. If you have a sectional garage door (most typical) then the best place to install the remote keypad is on the inside of the garage door jamb (see picture above).
Installing the keypad is very easy. First install a screw approximately 5 feet above ground level. The screw should be installed so that the head is slightly away from the finish surface (1/8 inch). Hang the remote keypad on that screw and slide it downward to lock. Next, open the battery compartment and install a screw with a screw gun. The 2nd screw helps lock the unit in place.
So for under $25 you can have a remote keypad outside your garage to open the doors with. It’s great when you’re going for a walk, bike ride or doing yardwork.

how to install my remote outside in cinder blocks--what do I use in the cinder block to put the screw in ???
Ken - You can install a plastic screw anchor or a toggle bolt.
Any idea what to do if my keypad has no enter button? I don't see any indication of a model # on the keypad and have searched the internet on what to do if there is no enter button, to no avail...
Thanks for your expertise!
Hi, I have a model that looks just like this that stopped working and we want to replace it. So this is wireless? I've been thinking it is hardwired for some reason and have been hesitant to mess around with the wires. If it is wireless then I'm OK.
There are two kinds. You can buy wired and wireless versions.
I purchased a second one of these to install inside the garage for easier access. It has over-written the exterior one making it not respond any longer. Is it possible to make 2 of these work?
Should be able to use as many as you like.
