Liftmaster 877MAX 2-Pack Wireless Keypad
The LiftMaster 877MAX 2-pack is a multi-unit wireless keypad package for outside-the-garage PIN access. Each keypad lets a user open or close a compatible garage door without carrying a remote control. This style is especially useful on homes with multiple garage bays, rental properties, maintenance shops, small commercial garages using compatible LiftMaster-family operators, or service trucks that need several keypads on hand. The 877MAX family is valued because it bridges several LiftMaster radio generations instead of being limited to only one learn-button color. The newer 878MAX is commonly referenced as the current replacement, so stock labels should be checked if the package received shows 878MAX rather than 877MAX.
This multi-pack is best used when the buyer has confirmed that each door uses a supported learn-button system. The keypad itself is wireless, so it does not run low-voltage wire back to the opener. It sends a coded radio signal after the programmed PIN is entered. Because different opener generations use different codes and programming steps, the installer should identify the opener learn-button color first, then follow the matching programming method for that door.
What This Keypad Does
The 877MAX keypad provides PIN-based garage access from outside the door. It can be used by homeowners, family members, maintenance staff, or trusted visitors without issuing a handheld remote. On supported systems, temporary PIN and one-button close features may also be available. Feature availability depends on opener generation and programming support.

Not compatible with DIP-switch-only openers, unsupported non-LiftMaster radio systems, or residential openers made before 1993. For residential use, the opener must have working photoelectric safety sensors near the bottom of the door track.

Technician Note
The safest way to match this keypad is to check the opener learn button, not just the model number printed on the cover. Many model families were produced across multiple years, and a logic board change can alter radio compatibility. If an opener has an external receiver, match the keypad to the receiver technology instead of the motor head label.
Before Ordering
- Confirm how many keypads are needed for the pack quantity.
- Identify the learn-button color on every opener being paired.
- Confirm the opener is from 1993 or newer and uses required safety photo eyes.
- Check whether the current stock is labeled 877MAX or the replacement 878MAX.
- Do not use this keypad to bypass, disable, or work around missing photo eyes or other safety devices.
Professional Advisory
If the keypad programs but the door will not move, check opener lock mode, remote memory, battery condition, range, and safety sensor status before replacing parts. If the door moves unpredictably or safety sensors are missing, stop use and have the system inspected by a qualified garage door technician.
Product Questions & Answers
Can the 877MAX 2-pack be used on different learn-button colors?
Yes. The 877MAX/878MAX style keypad family is designed for several LiftMaster radio generations, including green, red/orange, purple, and yellow learn-button applications. Program each keypad for the opener type being used.
Is 878MAX the same product as 877MAX?
878MAX is commonly referenced as the newer replacement for the discontinued or older 877MAX family. Check the package label and listing notes if your order is intended to be the current replacement version.
Will this keypad work with DIP-switch garage door openers?
No. The 877MAX/878MAX family is intended for supported learn-button openers, not DIP-switch-only units. Older DIP-switch systems require a different keypad or receiver approach.
Does each keypad in this 2-pack get its own PIN?
Yes. Each keypad is programmed separately, so each one can be assigned its own PIN and matched to its own compatible opener or door location.
Why does the product mention photoelectric sensors?
For residential openers, this keypad family is intended for openers manufactured starting January 1, 1993 that use photoelectric safety sensors near the bottom of the door track. Do not bypass safety sensors to make a keypad work.
