LiftMaster MA014 Cover Bolts for Barrier Gate Operators
The LiftMaster MA014 cover bolt set is used when the operator cover hardware is missing, worn, stripped, or damaged. On commercial barrier gate operators, the cover shields the drive system, control components, batteries, transformer, wiring, and other service parts from weather, debris, and casual access. If the cover cannot be secured properly, the operator may develop vibration noise, water exposure issues, or damage from a loose cover rubbing against internal parts. MA014 gives technicians a correct replacement hardware option instead of using mismatched screws or generic fasteners that may not hold the cover properly.
Some listings describe MA014 as cover bolts, while others reference bolt and nut hardware. Because hardware sets can vary by operator generation and cover style, compare the original hardware and parts diagram before ordering.

Technician Note
If cover bolts are repeatedly missing or damaged, inspect the cover holes, threaded inserts, hinges, and cabinet alignment. A bent cover or frame can cause new hardware to strip or loosen again.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the operator cover uses MA014 hardware
- Inspect the cover and cabinet holes for damage
- Check whether more than one hardware set is needed
- Do not use oversized hardware that can damage the cover or frame
- Verify the parts diagram if the operator has a tower cabinet
Professional Advisory
Replace missing cover hardware promptly. Exposed operator internals can lead to corrosion, debris intrusion, and avoidable electrical or mechanical problems.
Important Ordering Warnings
- Do not substitute random sheet-metal screws if the cover requires OEM-style bolts
- Do not operate the lane long term with unsecured covers or exposed internal components
Product Questions & Answers
What are MA014 cover bolts used for?
They are replacement fasteners used to secure covers on select LiftMaster barrier gate operators.
Does MA014 include the cover?
No. MA014 is cover hardware only, not the operator cover or door.
Can I use generic bolts instead?
Only if they match the required size, thread, and application. OEM hardware is preferred to avoid cabinet damage.
Why do my cover bolts keep loosening?
Vibration, damaged threads, a bent cover, or misaligned cabinet parts can cause fasteners to loosen repeatedly.
Does this fit Mega Arm Tower covers?
It may fit select tower-style applications only when the parts diagram calls for MA014.
