LiftMaster 78LM Wall Control Panel

The LiftMaster 78LM Wall Control Panel is a wired, multi-function wall console that replaces a basic doorbell-style button with added convenience and security for your garage. Designed for many LiftMaster, Chamberlain, and Craftsman Security+ openers, it provides one-touch door control, a dedicated Light button to switch the opener’s work lights on or off (overriding the automatic light timer), and a Lock (vacation) feature that disables remote controls and keyless entry until unlocked. The 78LM mounts indoors near the garage entry door and is ideal as a replacement part or an upgrade from a single-button wall switch.

Compatibility and installation are straightforward: the 78LM works with Security+ openers typically manufactured from the late 1990s through approximately 2011, commonly identified by Purple or Red/Orange Learn buttons on the opener head. It is not compatible with newer Security+ 2.0 models that use a Yellow Learn button. The panel connects with two low-voltage wires to the opener’s wall control terminals and draws power from the opener—no batteries or RF programming required. For residential interior use only. Follow manufacturer safety guidance by mounting within sight of the door and at least 5 feet above the floor, and use the Lock feature when away to prevent radio control operation. This LiftMaster 78LM multi-function wall console is a reliable, wired control solution for many LiftMaster/Chamberlain/Craftsman Security+ garage door opener systems.
