LiftMaster 894LT 4-Button Security+ 2.0 Learning Remote
The LiftMaster 894LT is a four-button learning remote made for properties that need several compatible access devices controlled from one transmitter. It is a strong choice for gated communities, multi-door garages, and commercial receiver applications where multiple supported radio channels are being used.
Each button is independently programmable, so one button may be assigned to a compatible gate, another to a garage door opener, and additional buttons to other supported access devices or myQ accessories.
Compatibility and Application
The 894LT supports compatible LiftMaster Security+ 2.0, Security+ 315 MHz, and Security+ 390 MHz applications. It may also clone select LiftMaster DIP-code remotes when the existing remote and receiver family are supported.
This remote is commonly associated with replacement-style applications for 974LM and 374LM in supported systems. It should not be treated as a guaranteed replacement for every old remote or every community gate transmitter.

Technician Note
The 894LT is useful, but it is not magic. If the property has an access-control receiver managed by an HOA, building, or security company, remote enrollment may require access to the receiver or approval from the property manager.
Before Ordering
- List every device the customer wants to operate before selecting this remote.
- Confirm the learn button color or receiver technology for each device.
- Confirm whether any gate code must be cloned from an existing compatible LiftMaster remote.
- Do not assume non-LiftMaster remotes can be copied.
- Program and test each button individually with the moving door or gate in sight.
Professional Advisory
When adding transmitters to gate or garage equipment, keep all required entrapment protection and safety devices in service. A remote should never be used as a workaround for failed photo eyes, edge sensors, or unsafe operator movement.
Product Questions & Answers
How many devices can the 894LT control?
The 894LT has four buttons and can control up to four compatible devices or receiver channels when each button is programmed correctly.
Is the 894LT only for yellow learn button openers?
No. It supports compatible Security+ 2.0, Security+ 315 MHz, Security+ 390 MHz, and select LiftMaster DIP-code applications.
Can the 894LT replace several remotes?
Yes, in many supported LiftMaster applications, but every device must use a compatible radio technology or supported cloning method.
Can one button be used for a commercial gate receiver?
Yes, when the commercial receiver is compatible with the 894LT and the receiver is programmed for that button.
Why would a property manager need to be involved?
Some community gate receivers are locked down or managed centrally, so adding or cloning transmitters may require authorized access to the receiver system.
