LiftMaster 373LM 3-Button Garage Door Remote - Secure Visor

Our review of the LiftMaster 373LM finds it best for homeowners who want a small, reliable replacement remote without fuss. The biggest reason to buy is its straightforward compatibility with Purple Learn button systems from 2005-2012 and the convenience of three buttons that let a single transmitter control multiple doors or gate operators. This review looks at real-world use: setup is simple, the included visor clip keeps the remote handy, and the long-life 3V cr2032 battery means minimal maintenance over years of normal use.

Key Features

• 3-Button Control: Three buttons let a single remote operate up to three garage door openers or gate operators, reducing the need for multiple transmitters.
• Wide Compatibility: Designed for Purple Learn button 2005-2012 systems, it works with many LiftMaster models that use that learn sequence.
• Battery Powered: The transmitter includes a 3V cr2032 battery so the remote is ready to use right away and runs without wiring.
• Security+ Rolling Code: Each press sends a secure code to the opener, preventing replay attacks and improving security over fixed-code remotes.
• Long Battery Life: The low-drain 3V design gives an average battery life of about five years under normal use, cutting down on replacements.
• Visor Clip Included: The clip keeps the remote accessible in the car and prevents loss when commuting or running errands.

Who It's For

This remote is ideal for homeowners with compatible LiftMaster systems from roughly the 2005-2012 era who want a direct, no-frills replacement that matches the Purple Learn button pairing method. It is also a good choice for drivers who prefer a visor-mounted transmitter that can operate multiple doors or a gate from one handheld device.

It is not the right choice for users with newer MyQ-only openers that do not use the Purple Learn method or for people who need smartphone control or a keypad-style interface. For those features, a MyQ-enabled controller or keypad accessory would be more suitable.

Pros & Cons

• Security+ rolling code adds meaningful protection versus older fixed-code remotes.

Cons

• Compatibility is limited to Purple Learn button systems from 2005-2012, so it will not pair with some newer openers.
