Methodology: how we verify compatibility
A remote appears as compatible only when an official manufacturer source supports that exact pairing. We never infer from neighboring models or years.
Accepted evidence
| Evidence type | What it means | Matches |
|---|---|---|
| Named in official manual | The opener’s official manual or guide names this remote as an accessory or replacement. | 38 |
| Listed on official product page | The opener’s official product page lists this remote as included or as a compatible accessory. | 14 |
| Confirmed by manufacturer Q&A | The manufacturer answered compatibility for this exact opener model on its official store. | 12 |
| Official learn-button match | The opener’s official page states its learn-button color, and the remote’s official spec lists that same color. | 2 |
| Official technology match | The opener’s official page states its code technology, and the remote’s official page says it works with all openers using that technology. | 2 |
Rules every match follows
- Sources are limited to official manufacturer domains (below). Third-party sites may only help us discover which models people search for.
- Code system (e.g. Security+ 2.0, Intellicode), learn-button color and frequency are shown only when an official source states them.
- Each match stores the source URL, title, the exact location (page, section or Q&A) and a short excerpt, plus the date we checked it.
- Uncertain pairings are marked “Not verified”, carry no purchase link, and pages with only uncertain data are kept out of search engines and the sitemap.
- We cover choosing and programming remotes through the manufacturer’s documented LEARN/program process only. We do not publish anything about copying, intercepting or getting around rolling-code security.
