Linear Garage Door Opener Parts
Keep your opener running safely and reliably with genuine Linear garage door opener replacement parts. To confirm compatibility, check the model number on the motor head (and, if available, the learn-button color or frequency label), then match parts by model.
Common Linear replacement items:
- Remote controls (single-, multi-button)
- Wireless keypads (keyless entry)
- Safety sensors (photo eyes) and wiring
- Wall consoles / push buttons
- Radio receivers / logic boards
- Gear & sprocket kits (chain-drive)
- Trolley/traveler, chain or belt components, mounting hardware
Note: Some original parts for older Linear models may be discontinued. When an exact part is unavailable, a universal receiver kit and compatible accessories can restore remote/keypad functionality while keeping your existing opener.
FAQs – Linear Opener Parts
Q: How do I find the right parts for my Linear opener?
A: Locate the model number sticker on the opener’s motor housing. Use that model (and any learn-button color or frequency noted) to match compatible remotes, keypads, sensors, and other components.
Q: Are Linear parts compatible with other brands?
A: Not necessarily. Compatibility depends on frequency and security technology. If you’re unsure—or have mixed brands—add a universal receiver kit to bridge everything reliably.
Q: My door only closes when I hold the wall button. Which part do I need?
A: This usually indicates a photo eye (safety sensor) issue. Check alignment and wiring; replace the sensors if the indicator lights won’t stay solid.
Q: Will a universal remote work with my Linear opener?
A: Many universal remotes can work if they support your opener’s frequency/technology. For guaranteed compatibility, install a universal receiver kit and pair new remotes/keypads to it.
Q: Can I replace gears and trolleys myself?
A: Yes, with basic tools and careful adherence to instructions. Always disconnect power before servicing the opener.
