Overhead Door Garage Door Openers

The example photos below show how to connect the GarageMate receiver to your Overhead Door garage door opener. For your reference we have also included links to some Overhead Door user manuals. Note if you can’t immediately find your wiring terminals, sometimes they are behind the translucent lightbulb cover.

Even if your exact model isn’t referenced on this page, GarageMate will work as a remote control for most residential Overhead Door garage door openers. You simply connect the GarageMate wires in parallel to your wall switch. GarageMate will work fine even if you reverse the wires. We color code the wires simply for convention but they are electrically equivalent.

The vast majority of Overhead door openers are compatible. But if you have a newer newer Destiny 1200 or Odyssey 1000 check the serial number. If the serial number begins with 10 or higher then it will not be compatible with aftermarket accessories like GarageMate (see image below).

Additional wiring examples

Below are some random wiring examples that maybe helpful. Note the photo show the terminals before the wires from GarageMate are connected. Those terminals are designed to hold multiple wires so please leave your existing wires in place so that your existing wall button/console will continue to work just fine. Most garage door openers have similar terminals.
