The Stanley 24860 Standard Push Button is a wired, single-function wall control designed for operating compatible Stanley garage door openers. As a momentary-contact push button, it performs the open/stop/close command based on the current position of the door, making it a straightforward replacement part for worn or nonresponsive wall switches in residential garage applications. This hardwired control mounts near the garage entry and connects to the opener’s wall control terminals using two low-voltage conductors, with no programming or radio setup required.
Intended for legacy Stanley openers that accept a simple 2-wire wall control input, the 24860 is commonly used as a direct replacement for the original standard button or as an upgrade from a makeshift switch. It is a practical option when a universal wireless console is not needed or when a reliable wired solution is preferred. Installation typically involves shutting off power to the opener, running or reusing low-voltage bell wire to the terminal screws on the head unit, and securing the button to a wall box or surface; polarity is generally not required on simple contact circuits, but checking the opener’s manual is recommended. This product does not add multi-function features such as light or vacation lock controls and is not intended for systems that require proprietary digital wall consoles. Always follow the opener manufacturer’s wiring diagram and safety instructions during installation and testing.
