Garage Door Opener Surge Protector

Originally, my LiftMaster 120V garage door opener did not have a surge protector installed. One night, a severe thunderstorm rolled through the area, and many of my neighbors had to reset their refrigerators, stoves, circuit breakers, and other appliances. It was clear that a power surge had affected our neighborhood, so—as a preventive measure—I decided to install this surge protector. After installation, I meticulously inspected every component of my garage door system: the wiring, RF receiver, remote controls, logic board, and sensors. While the mobile app and the wall-mounted push button inside the garage worked perfectly, the handheld remotes and wireless keypad remained unresponsive, even after I reprogrammed them exactly as described in the LiftMaster manual. As a former technician, I chose not to replace any parts until I could identify the true cause of the issue. In the end, nothing was wrong with the surge protector. The logic board’s RF system simply needed time to reset and stabilize. Nearly two weeks later, I attempted to pair the remotes again. This time, using the opener’s “Learn” button, everything connected immediately. All functions—including the handheld remotes, keypad, HomeLink system, and Wi‑Fi connectivity—sprang back to life and began working normally again, as if nothing had ever gone wrong. The most satisfying realization was that I didn’t need to replace a single part. The surge protector is performing its duty admirably, and I now have peace of mind knowing that my opener is protected from future power surges. Sometimes, patience and careful troubleshooting are all that’s required. The opener is now functioning perfectly—the red LED indicator confirms that everything is operating normally. I highly recommend this surge protector.

Plugs in and protection light is lit. Can really tell how good it is until a surge.

Worked as advertised. Would purchase again.

Gotten really fast! Good price it sure worth a try. Just lately my hoist got hit with lightning and it took out my garage door opener. So we had to replace it so I ordered surge protectors for the house.

Nice product & looks well made. A little bulky, so not the best for tight spaces. Can only use 1 of the plugins because of size.

Purchased this item to make sure that should I get an electric surge affecting my garage opener, the opener will not be affected by the surge and be protected from damage. The WIFI connection works well as I can open door with my remote and my wall mounted button is working as well. Very easy to install and connection was just as quick for testing and working.

It's ok easy to install

I bought this for my Genie wall mount door opener. It works, and best I can tell does it's job. We had a house 2 doors down get hit with lightning and there was no damage to the door opener. But there was no damage to anything else either, so really this is just cheap insurance.

It's a great addition to our new garage door opener.

The item was great -- and --- the delivery service was exceptional !!!!
