Garage door openers typically use frequencies between 310MHz and 390MHz. Below you can find the most common frequencies used in the garage door industry and how to change them:

LiftMaster and Chamberlain Garage Door Frequencies

• LiftMaster and Chamberlain openers with a Yellow Learn button manufactured between 2011 to 2022 use 310MHz, 315MHz, and 390MHz Tri-Band technology.
• LiftMaster and Chamberlain openers with a Yellow Learn button manufactured after February 2022 use 315MHz and 390MHz dual-band frequencies.
• LiftMaster and Chamberlain openers with a Purple Learn button use the 315MHz frequency.
• LiftMaster and Chamberlain openers with a Red, Orange, or Green Learn button use the 390MHz frequency.

To change the frequency on LiftMaster and Chamberlain openers with a Red, Orange, or Green Learn button that operate on a 390MHz frequency, use an 850LM receiver or an 889LM wall button, which operate on the 315MHz frequency.

LiftMaster and Chamberlain openers manufactured between 2011 and 2022 use 310MHz, 315MHz, and 390MHz Tri-Band technology, which automatically changes frequencies in case of interference, range problems, and when the remote isn’t working properly.

In February 2022, the company began manufacturing garage door openers that use 315MHz and 390MHz Dual-Band technology, no longer automatically switching between frequencies. The opener’s frequency can now be manually changed by following the steps below:

1. Clear the opener’s memory by pressing and holding the learn button for 5 to 10 seconds or until the button’s LED turns off.
2. Press and release the learn button once.
3. Press the up arrow once. The opener should make a beeping sound: a single beep for 315MHz frequency and two beeps for 390MHz frequency.
4. Program the remote to the opener.
5. Repeat the process to switch between 315MHz and 390MHz frequencies.

Only openers with the letters ‘MC’ in their model number can have their frequencies changed, and an MC remote must be used.

Genie Garage Door Frequencies

Older Genie rolling code door openers (IntelliCode) used to operate on fixed frequencies of 340MHz or 360MHz. To change the frequency on these openers, use the Genie GIRUD-1T Universal Conversion Kit, which operates on dual frequencies of 315MHz and 390MHz.

Modern Genie openers use 315MHz and 390MHz Dual-Band technology, which attempts to automatically switch between frequencies in case of interference. There’s no way to change frequencies manually.

Marantec Garage Door Frequencies

Older Marantec garage door openers use 40MHz or 433MHz. Newer models operate on 315MHz but can be changed to 916MHz by replacing the opener’s module.

Garage Door Opener Frequencies in the US

Garage door manufacturers do not select the frequency they use for their openers. They can only use frequencies allocated for industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) purposes.
