LiftMaster 971LM / G971LM Single-Button Remote — 390MHz Security+
The LiftMaster 971LM is a single-button remote for compatible 390MHz Security+ rolling-code receivers. It is useful when the installed system specifically uses that radio generation, including the manufacturer-listed 412HM receiver. It is not a universal remote for all LiftMaster equipment, and frequency alone does not prove compatibility with older fixed-code products. The supplier identifies this offer as G971LM. Confirm the receiver model and current availability before purchasing this legacy remote for an existing entrance.
Compatibility — Models, Versions and Exclusions
| Model or selection point | Compatibility requirement |
|---|---|
| 412HM / 635LM | Listed by LiftMaster for 971LM in the Security+ 390MHz receiver chart. |
| 535LM / 335LM / STAR250 / STAR450-390 | Manufacturer-listed legacy receiver examples; verify the exact receiver label. |
| 315MHz Security+ receivers | Different radio generation; do not assume compatibility. |
| Security+ 2.0 or newer-only receivers | This remote is not a universal replacement for those systems. |
| 390MHz fixed-code or DIP-switch systems | Shared frequency does not establish the required rolling-code protocol. |
Identify the Receiver Before Replacing the Remote
The receiver may be built into a garage-door opener or installed as a separate unit on a gate or commercial operator. Read that receiver’s model number rather than relying only on the operator brand. Where a separate receiver has been added, its radio compatibility can differ from the original equipment’s built-in control system.
For an existing remote that has become unreliable, check the specified battery and follow the receiver’s programming instructions before assuming the receiver needs replacement. A weak signal, a damaged remote and a lost enrollment are different problems. If several users need access, also review the receiver’s management procedure so a replacement remote is enrolled without unintentionally removing other authorized transmitters.

Package Contents and Separate Requirements
This listing is for the single-button remote. Confirm the current package for a visor clip, battery and instructions. A receiver, garage-door opener, gate operator and wireless keypad are not included. The CR2032 specification describes the replacement battery type; it is not a promise of remaining battery life in a stored legacy product or a guaranteed operating range at a particular property.
Safety Warnings — Read Before Installation or Service
- WARNING: Activate a door or gate only when it is clearly visible, properly adjusted and free of obstructions. Keep people clear until movement is complete.
- Keep remote controls away from children and do not allow children to operate or play with the entrance.
- Coin-cell batteries can cause severe internal injury if swallowed. Keep new and used cells away from children, secure the battery compartment and seek immediate medical attention if ingestion is suspected.
- A remote command does not replace safety sensors or required entrapment protection. Never use programming changes to bypass a safety fault.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will it work with any 390MHz receiver?
No. It requires compatible Security+ rolling-code technology, not merely the same frequency.
What battery does it use?
LiftMaster’s battery instructions specify one 3V CR2032 coin cell with the prescribed polarity.
Can I use an 893MAX instead?
LiftMaster lists 893MAX as a replacement option in its compatible-receiver chart; confirm the receiver and program the correct mode.
Does it come already programmed?
Enrollment must be completed for the intended receiver using its instructions. Do not assume a replacement arrives authorized for your property.
