Easy to install, comes with wire in case you do not have it, bought through Sanford and Sons (lol, great name), and fulfilled by Amazon, delivery was great, easy transaction.

This was a replacement for a Raynor garage door control panel (9 years old), works perfect, and is exactly the same, seems as though this unit is same as used on multiple brands, Raynor, Chamberlain, Liftmaster, Sears, etc.

Until I got the unit, I did not know how to access the mounting screws, but it is easy, just insert a flat head screw driver at the top of the white button an pry down slightly and the button comes out allowing you to access the mounting screws, and then you disconnect, reconnect the wires on the back and off you go.

This is remarkably easy to install. Everything is included, even wire, for a successful installlation. If you have absolutely no handyman skills it may take up to five minutes to install. Otherwise, with even minimal handiness it is about a three minute job. One of my favorite features is the ability to block remotes from opening the garage door. This is an especially nice safety provision. Lights on the control panel indicate the status of the garage door and a blinking light tells you the door is locked. The price is modest and the convenience is well worth the small expense. There is no downside because it is all good.

I had a huge crack in the big button and wanted to replace the controller before the winter hit. The price from this vendor was lower than I could find anywhere else. The delivery was a couple of days sooner than I was told when ordering. And the installation took me an entire 10 minutes. If you have a Chamberlain Liftmaster Door opener and need a replacement wall-panel controller, this is the one to get and the vendor to get it from.

Had issues with the 1st one delivered and called Chamberlain Lift-Master Help Line. I was told there was a "short" in the bell-wire so I went out and purchased bell-wire and installed it...same results (garage door would lift with the wall button, but would not lower with the remote. However when I returned, the door WOULD lift with the remote). After calling a second time, the trouble shooter from Chamberlain said that the wall unit was bad and unfortunately with it having been purchased through an Amazon third party, they would not warranty the product. I then contacted the vendor - ASPDOORS & A WHOLE LOT MORE - via e-mail and sent them the e-mail communications from Chamberlain. Kevin from ASPDOORS and I e-mailed back and forth trying to get the unit to work...it should be such a simple install! He then offered to ship another. Upon receipt and a two minute install, all is working very well!! He even included return postage for the 1st unit.....THANKS Kevin!!

Perfect match to the old one except that the full light panel is replaced by an led

light and a heavier grade of plastic. Much better than the old. 5 minute installation.

I ordered the 78LM Multi-Function Control Panel from Amazon Marketplace. It arrived in the time indicated and it worked out of box.

Easy to install. Controls light, door and blocks access to radio if desired. Includes the cable. I used it to replace a single push contact that was falling apart.

Came quickly, no problems at all. Very competitive price. Note that the Chamberlain and LiftMaster versions of this switch are interchangable. I have both. Note that the Chamberlain version has better illumination on the button (the whole square lights up), while the LiftMaster only has a small LED in the center. However, I didn't think this was worth an extra $10!

The cap on one of the buttons broke off on my original unit and replacing the unit was added to my "honey do" list. There are 2 screws holding the unit to the wall and 2 more screws that attach the wires from the opener to the control panel. The hardest part was figuring out how to pop out the big white button to get access to the top wall screw (the bottom wall screw just slides in and out of a slot in the back). Remove the top screw, slide the unit up until it's off the bottom screw and flip it over. Unscrew the 2 wires (noting which one went to which terminal). Then reverse the steps. I was literally done in 15 minutes.

replaced the default "doorbell" opener so that I could have some security with the locking feature on this product. the large opener button is much easier to locate when reaching around the corner and its nice to be able to control the door opener light from this panel. installed in about a minute or so and comes with the mounting screws you need (no anchor though, but wasnt needed in my case).
