Stanley 2986 Keypad for Garage Door Opener

The Stanley 2986 Keypad for Garage Door Opener is a wireless, exterior-mounted keyless entry accessory designed for use with legacy Stanley garage door opener systems. It allows you to open the garage by entering a personal PIN, providing convenient access without carrying a handheld remote. Commonly used as a replacement keypad or original accessory on residential setups, it’s ideal for households that want secure, on-the-wall access for family members, guests, or service providers.

Compatibility and setup depend on the specific Stanley opener model and its radio/control technology. The 2986 was offered for earlier-era Stanley operators, and pairing typically involves setting a user PIN and linking the keypad to the opener following the opener’s programming procedure. Many Stanley units use a Learn/Program button at the motor head, while some older models may rely on DIP switch coding; refer to your opener’s manual for exact steps. Install the keypad outside the garage within reliable radio range, test operation after programming, and choose a secure PIN to enhance safety. If your Stanley opener requires a different radio format or if the 2986 is no longer available in your market, consider a Stanley-compatible replacement keypad specified by your opener manufacturer or a reputable aftermarket supplier that explicitly lists compatibility with your opener model.
