INTRODUCTION
Older Chamberlain door controls and third party products are not compatible. Install the door control
within sight of the door at a minimum height of 5 feet (1.5 m) where small children cannot reach, and
away from the moving parts of the door. For gang box installations it is not necessary to drill holes or
install the drywall anchors. Use the existing holes in the gang box.

1. Strip 7/16 inch (11 mm) of insulation from one end of the wire and separate the wires.
2. Connect one wire to each of the two screws on the back of the door control. The wires can be
connected to either screw. If your garage is pre-wired for the door control choose any two wires to
connect, note which wires are used so the correct wires are connected to the garage door
opener in a later step.
3. Mark the location of the bottom mounting hole and drill a 5/32 inch (4 mm) hole.
4. Install the bottom screw, allowing 1/8 inch (3 mm) to protrude from the wall.
5. Position the bottom hole of the door control over the screw and slide down into place.
6. Lift the push bar up and mark the top hole.
7. Remove the door control from the wall and drill a 5/32 inch (4 mm) hole for the top screw.
8. Position the bottom hole of the door control over the screw and slide down into place. Attach the
