• Fast shipping — same-day on orders before 4:30 PM EST

Product Description

The LiftMaster L979M Wireless Garage Door Keypad MAX provides secure, convenient keyless access to compatible garage door openers without requiring a handheld remote or physical key.

Enter a personal four-digit PIN to open or close the garage door from outside. The illuminated keypad makes the numbers easier to see at night, while one-touch close allows the garage door to be closed without re-entering the PIN.

The L979M supports LiftMaster’s latest Security+ 3.0 technology while remaining compatible with many LiftMaster, Chamberlain, and Craftsman garage door openers manufactured after 1997 with working safety sensors. Its automatic frequency detection helps simplify programming across compatible opener generations.

Temporary PINs can be created for family members, visitors, contractors, delivery personnel, or service providers without sharing the primary access code.

How It Works

The keypad communicates wirelessly with the compatible garage door opener. After programming, the user enters a personal PIN and presses the enter button to operate the garage door.

The automatic frequency-detection system helps the keypad identify the communication technology used by the opener. This allows one keypad model to work with multiple generations of compatible LiftMaster, Chamberlain, and Craftsman openers.

When paired with a compatible Security+ 3.0 garage door opener, additional keypad management features may be available through the myQ app, including PIN management, schedules, notifications, access history, and battery-status information.

Compatibility

Compatible with LiftMaster, Chamberlain, and most Craftsman garage door openers manufactured after 1997 that use functioning safety-reversing sensors.

Supported technologies include:

• Security+ 3.0
• Security+ 2.0 with yellow learn button
• Security+ with purple or brown learn button
• Security+ with red or orange learn button
• Compatible 315 MHz and 390 MHz opener systems

Compatibility depends on the opener’s manufacturer, production date, learn-button color, receiver technology, and safety-sensor configuration.

This keypad should not be ordered based only on appearance. Check the garage door opener model number and learn-button color before purchasing.
