- Wired vs. wireless options – check compatibility with your opener model.
Tip: Always match the replacement to your opener’s brand and model number to ensure proper function.
FAQs – Wall Stations & Buttons
How do I know if my wall station is bad?
If the opener works with remotes but not from the wall station, the wall station or its wiring is likely faulty.
Can I upgrade from a basic button to a multi-function wall station?
Many openers allow upgrades, but compatibility depends on your opener’s model. Always check product details.
Why won’t my wall control work but the light is on?
This may indicate wiring issues, a lockout feature activated, or a failing control board in the opener.
Are wall stations universal?
No. They are brand- and model-specific. Use your opener’s model number to find the correct replacement.
