UPDATE: OCTOBER 2014: We wrote the following blog post back in May 2012. Since then a new solution has come about....the 893RGX Remote. We go into some detail in finding the correct replacement remote for your Raynor operator but that is no longer necessary for two reasons: 1. Most of the original remotes are no longer available. 2. The 893RGX Remote replaces all of the previous remotes. So if you have any of the programming (learn) buttons or remotes listed below then all you need is the 893RGX Remote to work with your Raynor operator. If you have a Raynor Flitestar opener or Raynor opener manufactured before 1998 then you should read our other blog post on finding a remote for those model operators (Raynor Remotes - Flitestar & R-Series Openers)

It can be very confusing and downright frustrating for consumers when they need to buy a new remote transmitter for their garage door operator. The garage door industry seems to change the remotes every 5 or 6 years so the older remotes won't work with the newer openers. This can be a real headache trying to figure out which remote goes with which model of opener. Hopefully the following breakdown will help you in determining exactly which remote you need for your Raynor garage door opener.
Before we go any further and get into the nuts and bolts of it here is a simple way to determine which remote you need: look on the back of your existing Raynor remote and you should see (if it hasn't been torn or worn off) the model number of the remote. It will be a 2 or 3 digit number followed by the letters RGD. So for example you may see: 973RGD.....this is the model of the remote and the one you should get to replace it.
If you lost your remote or you just moved into the home and the old homeowners didn't leave any remotes then the following breakdown should help you to determine which remote will work with your operator.
To determine which remote you need you'll need to locate the Learn Button on the operator. The Learn Button will either be located on the back or the right side of the unit near the antenna wire. You may have to remove the light cover to see it.
If your garage door opener has a Green Learn Program Button then it uses the Billion Code Technology and is compatible with the following remotes and keyless entry.

- 81RGD Remote (1-button remote)
- 877MAX Keyless (compatible keyless entry)
- 893RGX Remote
If your garage door opener has an Orange or Red Learn Program Button then it uses the Security+ 390MHz Rolling Code Technology and is compatible with the following remotes and keyless entry.

If your garage door opener has a Purple Learn Program Button then it uses the Security+ 315MHz Technology and is compatible with the following remotes and keyless entry.

- 377LM Keyless (compatible keyless entry)
