LiftMaster 893LM 3-Button Security+ 2.0 Remote Control
The LiftMaster 893LM is a three-button visor remote for Security+ 2.0 systems. It gives the user control of up to three compatible garage door openers, gate operators, receiver channels, or myQ light accessories from one transmitter.
This is a Security+ 2.0 remote, most often identified by matching it to a yellow learn button on the opener or receiver. It is not the same as the 893MAX universal-style remote, so the learn button color is important.
Compatibility and Application
The 893LM is commonly used with LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Craftsman, and related Security+ 2.0 openers that use a yellow learn button. It can be a good choice for homes with multiple compatible doors or for applications where one remote needs to control more than one supported channel.
For older purple, red/orange, green, or DIP-switch radio systems, use the proper matching remote or a compatible MAX/learning remote instead of the 893LM.

Technician Note
If a customer asks for an 893 remote, confirm whether they need 893LM or 893MAX. The names look similar, but the MAX version is used for a wider range of older LiftMaster learn-button systems.
Before Ordering
- Confirm the system has a yellow learn button.
- Use the 893LM for Security+ 2.0 applications only.
- Choose 893MAX instead when older supported LiftMaster radio families must also be covered.
- Make sure the opener or receiver has available memory for a new transmitter.
- Program and test each button one at a time.
Professional Advisory
Only test the remote when the door or gate is visible and the travel path is clear. Do not use new transmitters on an operator with defeated, missing, or failed safety devices.
Product Questions & Answers
Is the 893LM the same as the 893MAX?
No. The 893LM is for Security+ 2.0 yellow learn button systems. The 893MAX supports additional older LiftMaster radio technologies.
How many openers can the 893LM control?
The 893LM has three buttons and can control up to three compatible Security+ 2.0 devices or channels.
Will the 893LM work with a purple learn button?
No. A purple learn button normally indicates Security+ 315 MHz, which is a different radio family than the 893LM.
Can I use one button for a gate and another for a garage door?
Yes, when both devices or receivers are compatible Security+ 2.0 systems and each button is programmed separately.
Why does only one button work after programming?
Each button must be programmed to its own compatible opener, receiver, or accessory channel. A button that was not programmed will not operate a device.
