The LiftMaster 979U is a wireless, backlit garage door keypad that mounts outside the door and opens it with a PIN instead of a remote or key. It uses Security+ 3.0 encryption and Bluetooth Low Energy for pairing and communication, and LiftMaster bills it as a replacement for older keypads like the G387LMMC. It supports temporary PINs and one-touch close, which suits households with guests, cleaners or dog walkers. Against brand-specific keypads it wins on cross-brand compatibility with openers made after 1993 that have safety sensors, but it is a keypad only: no built-in camera, no app-based remote opening, and no Wi-Fi.

Owners generally rate the 979U as a solid, secure replacement keypad that pairs quickly and lights up well at night. Complaints center on programming quirks with non-LiftMaster openers and on the learning curve for temporary PINs.
The LiftMaster 979U (model L979U) is a universal wireless keypad that opens a garage door without a key or remote. It uses Security+ 3.0 encryption and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) long-range connectivity for communication with the opener. It can replace older keypads such as the G387LMMC.
The buttons are white and backlit, so the keypad can be read at night. The housing is weather-resistant and designed to withstand all weather conditions outdoors. Features include temporary PINs and one-touch close.
The keypad is compatible with most brands of garage door openers made after 1993 that have safety sensors. It supports tri-band frequencies, which vary by opener. It is intended for residential garage door access.
