LiftMaster 365LM 315MHz Universal Plug-In Receiver
The LiftMaster 365LM is a 315 MHz plug-in radio receiver used for compatible LiftMaster, Chamberlain, and Sears/Craftsman remote-control applications. It is commonly installed as a replacement receiver or radio-control upgrade when a system needs 315 MHz external receiver operation.
The receiver plugs into a standard outlet and connects to the operator push-button or control input using low-voltage wiring. It is useful for adding new radio capability to compatible openers or operators with a dry-contact style control input.

Technician Note
When replacing an older receiver, confirm the existing remote frequency and code type before ordering. If the site uses 390 MHz remotes, the 365LM will not be the correct match unless the remotes are also being changed to compatible 315 MHz units.
Before Ordering, Confirm
- The system needs a 315 MHz receiver.
- The operator has a compatible low-voltage control input.
- The remotes being used are compatible 315 MHz models.
- A standard outlet is available for the receiver.
- The installation does not require multi-channel control or a different receiver type.
Professional Advisory
External receiver wiring should be installed so the operator still follows normal safety and control logic. For gate or commercial door systems, do not use a receiver as a workaround for failed controls, missing safety devices, or unsafe movement.
Important Ordering Warnings
- Not compatible with 390 MHz remotes.
- Not a Security+ 2.0 yellow learn button receiver.
- Not ideal when multiple independent channels are needed.
- Remote compatibility depends on frequency and code type.
