Challenger Garage Door Opener Parts
Older Challenger openers were equipped with a variety of radio receivers and remote controls, many of which are no longer manufactured. If you need a replacement remote, check your current remote for the make (Multicode, LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Tec-Key, Linear, etc.), model number (examples: 3089, 2010, 2020, 61LM), and frequency (300 MHz, 310 MHz, or 390 MHz). Compare it with product listings and check the “Compatibility” tab on the product page to confirm a match with your opener.
If you cannot find a compatible remote, a Universal Remote Control Kit may be used. This add-on receiver includes a rolling-code remote and works with any existing keypads. Additional remotes or a wireless keypad can be added anytime, with the added security of rolling code technology.
👉 Please note: some original Challenger repair parts, such as gears, sprockets, and light covers, are no longer manufactured.

No. Parts such as gears, sprockets, and light covers are no longer manufactured. However, compatible remotes, keypads, receiver kits, and universal alternatives can be used to keep your opener working.
