## Sears Craftsman Garage Door Opener Remote Controls

Sears Craftsman garage door openers require specific remote controls based on the opener’s **manufacture date**, **model number**, or **learn button color**.

-   **1984–1992 models** (dip switch remotes, red light): use **61LM** remote (no keypad available).
-   **1993–1997 models** (Billion Code, green light): use **892LT**, **890MAX**, or **893MAX**.
-   **1997–1999 models** (Security+ Rolling Code, amber/orange learn button): use **892LT**, **890MAX**, or **893MAX**.
-   **2000–Present models** (Security+ Rolling Code, purple learn button): use **890MAX**, **371LM**, **892LT**, or **893MAX**.

_Tip:_ Always confirm by checking your opener’s model sticker and the color of the “Learn” button.
