Opener model

971LM

Two handheld remote listings name 971LM, and both print it directly beside 973LM. The two numbers sit one digit apart and appear together everywhere in this index, which makes it tempting to treat them as a pair. This site records that they appear together in seller text and draws nothing further from the adjacency of the digits.

How to check this yourself

1. Read the opener model number off the motor unit and keep it in front of you for the rest of these steps.
2. Check the Learn button color and the antenna wire color, and note that the manufacturer year ranges overlap, so a unit near a boundary is not datable by color alone.
3. Look for 971LM in the listing description. If a listing prints only 973LM, it has said something about 973LM.
4. Check the button count on your old handset against the listing, since neither listing here records how many buttons a 971LM carries.
5. Keep the listing text you relied on. If the part turns out not to program, what the seller stated is the basis of your return.
