Sears Craftsman 139.536670SRT1 Security+ 390 MHz Remote - 971LM Equivalent
This Sears Craftsman 139.536670SRT1 remote is commonly used as a LiftMaster 971LM equivalent for compatible 390 MHz Security+ systems. It is a one-button transmitter for operating one supported garage door opener, gate receiver, or compatible access channel.
The key fitment point is the red/orange learn button. This remote belongs to the older 390 MHz Security+ family and should not be confused with 315 MHz purple-button or yellow Security+ 2.0 remotes.
Compatibility and Application
Use this remote with compatible LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Craftsman, Raynor, and related Security+ 390 MHz openers or receivers that use a red or orange learn button. It is commonly cross-referenced with the LiftMaster 971LM and Chamberlain 950CB-style remote family.
This remote is not for yellow Security+ 2.0, purple 315 MHz Security+, green Billion Code, or DIP-switch-only receivers. Older openers should be checked carefully because age alone does not confirm the radio technology.

Technician Note
This item is often ordered for older Craftsman and LiftMaster-family openers. Confirm the actual learn button color because a purple-button 315 MHz unit or yellow-button Security+ 2.0 unit will need a different remote.
Before Ordering
- Confirm a red or orange learn button on the opener or receiver.
- Use for one compatible 390 MHz Security+ access point.
- Do not order for purple 315 MHz or yellow Security+ 2.0 systems.
- Check whether the opener receiver memory is full if programming fails.
- Inspect the opener antenna wire if range is very short.
Professional Advisory
Older garage door and gate systems should still have working safety devices and proper force/travel adjustment. If the operator behaves unpredictably, stop using it and have it inspected before relying on a new remote.
Product Questions & Answers

No. Yellow learn button openers use Security+ 2.0 and require a compatible Security+ 2.0 remote.
What causes poor range on an older 390 MHz opener?
Weak batteries, antenna damage, local interference, or an aging receiver/control board can all cause poor range.
