It works and was easy to program. Works with older models. I have a Liftmaster 7200 with the green program button. I gave it 4 stars because it doesn't have the light on it like my other remotes. The light shows you that the remote is working, and might give you some indication that the battery is dead, but this model doesn't have one.

The 81LM works great on my craftsman opener, which has a green program button and a light grey antenna wire. I had them both programmed in under a minute!

This was VERY EASY to program. I had it programmed in less than 30 seconds and it was cheaper than all the other remotes out there including the ones on Ebay.

This product was easy to program to my existing door opener head unit. Shipping was fast and the price was reasonable.

The remote came in a timely manner and works perfectly. Fortunately, I knew the model number of the remote needed.

Brought a third car (pickup). Got tired of going to other car removing garage door opener and walking out to other car then closeing garage door. Super easy to install. Just push the red button on the garage door opener then push the open button on the transmitter and that is it.

My Craftsman opener made in 2000 has a red learn button, but that does NOT made it a Security+ unit for which a 97xLM series will work. For purposes of a new remote, one must treat it like a Chamberlain or Genie unit vintage '93-'96 that has a GREEN learn button. Thus, buy either an 81LM series remote or a universal like the 375LM. If you buy the 375LM, program per instructions but with 4 button presses, not 2. Also, must press and immediately release (not hold) the button following each of the 4 presses (instructions are also vague on this point).

The Liftmaster 81LM remotes work great on my old, garage door. I purchased two - just to have a back up in case they go out of stock before I need a new garage door. Couldnt be happier at finding them for such a good price on Amazon.
My local garage door store wanted to charge me 3 times the cost! Thank you, Amazon, for once again, coming to the rescue!

After doing some research online, I discovered that the Chamberlain LiftMaster 81LM remote control was compatible with my Craftsman 41A4315-7D garage door. Although the instructions warned that this remote would only work "with door openers and light controls having a GREEN 'learn' button and a GREEN indicator light," the 81LM remote worked fine with my Craftsman 41A4315-7D that has a RED 'learn' button and a YELLOW indicator light. I'm guessing that the warning only applies to Chamberlain LiftMaster garage doors.

With the easy to follow instructions, it only took me a couple of minutes to get this remote working; and it didn't reset or interfere with the original remote control that came with the garage door.

Works flawlessly with 1994 vintage Chamberlain garage door opener

This remote works great with my old Chamberlain garage door opener that was installed by the builder in 1994. Other universal remotes / keypads did not work nearly as well. Very easy to program or reset when the code gets compromised.
