How to Find the Right Gate Operator Remote?

Compatibility matters when searching for your next gate operator remote.

Having trouble finding a replacement remote for your gate operator? You are not alone. Most control operators cannot be found at your local hardware stores or malls. To make things even more complicated, many manufactures of gate operating systems utilize parts that have since been discontinued due to advances in technology and upgrades to older gate control systems.

However, some companies such as Liftmaster do a nice job of making upgrade and compatibility information regularly available to the public.

For example, click the link Liftmaster link to view the latest remote compatibility chart released by Liftmaster.

For older gate remote models, however, it may be difficult to find this information. Thankfully, there is a better way!

3 Easy Steps to Find Your Exact Replacement Remote
When searching for compatible replacement remotes owners can always try visiting the manufacturer’s website; however, many times major manufactures do not have this information easily accessible.

Instead, easily access replacement parts and up-to-date product information for any of your security systems using the PSS Advanced Search Function in 3 simple steps:

1. Search for the name and product number (if you have this) inside our advanced site search bar outlined below by the bright red box. 



2. This will take you to the replacement remote page where you can get up-to-date information about the product inside the product description (also outlined below in red).













3. PSS Store will send you the upgraded part if the one you requested has been discontinued.
