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.
