LiftMaster 890MAX 4-Pack 3-Button Mini Remote Control
The LiftMaster 890MAX 4-Pack is a multi-remote bundle of 3-button mini remote controls for customers who want pocket or keychain-style access instead of a full-size visor remote. Each 890MAX remote can control up to three compatible devices, such as garage door openers, gate operators, commercial door operators, myQ-enabled light accessories, or access-control receivers that support the correct LiftMaster remote technology. This pack is commonly used for homes with multiple drivers, gated residences, small offices, service vehicles, apartment staff, and properties that need several compact remotes programmed at the same time.
The 890MAX belongs to the LiftMaster MAX remote family along with 893MAX and 895MAX. It is designed to cover a broad range of LiftMaster-style learn-button systems instead of only one opener generation. In practical terms, that means it can be used on many LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Sears Craftsman, Raynor, Master Mechanic, Do-It, and related Chamberlain Group style openers manufactured after January 1, 1993 when the opener or receiver uses a supported learn button. The 890MAX is also commonly used as a replacement option for many older 80 Series, 970 Series, and 370 Series LiftMaster remotes when the learn-button color and frequency match.
The mini format is the main reason customers choose the 890MAX over the 893MAX. The 890MAX is easier to carry on a key ring, in a pocket, in a motorcycle bag, or in a service pouch, while still offering three independently programmable buttons. It does not use a visor clip like the 893MAX. For customers who want the same MAX compatibility in a vehicle visor style, the 893MAX is the closer option.

Pack-count SKUs such as 890MAX-2, 890MAX-3, 890MAX-4, and 890MAX-5 are bundle identifiers. The individual remote model should be confirmed as 890MAX or the currently supplied LiftMaster equivalent before upload or shipment.
Technician Note
The 890MAX is a good choice when customers need small remotes for multiple users, but compatibility should still be checked by learn-button color. Do not match this remote by old remote shape alone. A customer may bring in an old 371LM, 373LM, 971LM, or 973LM, but the best check is still the opener learn button and receiver technology. Each button on each remote can be assigned to a different compatible device, so this 4-pack can cover multiple doors or gates when the equipment is supported.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the opener or receiver has a supported green, red/orange, purple, or yellow learn button.
- Confirm the system is not an old DIP-switch or unsupported fixed-code receiver.
- For gate, commercial door, and access-control use, confirm the receiver is 315 MHz or 390 MHz and supports Learn button programming.
- Confirm the customer wants mini keychain-style remotes rather than visor-style 893MAX remotes.
- Confirm the correct pack quantity: this listing is for 4 890MAX remote controls.
- Program each remote and button separately after delivery.
Professional Advisory
Keep remote controls out of reach of children. Program and test remotes only when the door or gate is in full view, the opening is properly adjusted, and the travel path is clear. Never use a remote to work around a missing or failed safety device. If programming requires reaching a high-mounted commercial operator, opening an electrical enclosure, or diagnosing receiver wiring, use a qualified gate or garage door technician.
Q&A
Is this 4-pack good for properties with multiple garage doors?
Yes. Each 890MAX has three independently programmable buttons, so the remotes can be assigned to multiple supported doors, gates, or light accessories.
Often yes when the opener uses a supported Security+ learn-button system. The opener learn-button color should be checked before using the 890MAX as a substitute.
Does the 890MAX include a visor clip?
No. The 890MAX is a mini remote designed for pocket or keychain use. For a visor-style remote, look at the 893MAX family.
What should I check before programming four remotes?
Check that the opener memory has room for new remotes and that each remote is being programmed to the correct button and correct door or gate.
Can the 890MAX control a gate operator?
It may control select gate operators or receivers that support the correct 315 MHz or 390 MHz Learn button technology. Check the receiver before ordering.
