Allstar Garage Door Opener Parts
Older Allstar openers were equipped with radio receivers and remotes that are no longer manufactured. To keep your system working, the most reliable upgrade is a Universal Remote Control Kit (add-on rolling-code receiver + one remote). It installs quickly with basic tools, works alongside any remotes/keypads you already have that still function, and lets you add extra remotes or a wireless keypad anytime.
Available replacement parts for Allstar openers:
- Universal Remote Control Kit (receiver + remote)
- Additional remotes
- Wireless keyless entry keypad
Note: Many original Allstar internal parts are discontinued. When an exact replacement isn’t available, use a universal receiver kit and compatible accessories to restore reliable operation.
