The best Linear keypad garage door opener depends on your opener’s model and receiver: choose a keypad that explicitly supports your Linear MegaCode system. The NMTK DNT00094 is best for several newer listed Linear models, while the other Linear replacements suit select MegaCode openers and receivers. The Genie GUK-R is a broader-brand alternative for buyers who need to operate up to three doors, but it is not identified as a Linear-specific model in the supplied details.
| Keypad | Best for | Key detail |
|---|---|---|
| NMTK DNT00094 | Owners of listed Linear models | Supports 1–6 digit or letter PINs |
| GARAGE STOP MDTK replacement | Basic keyless entry on select MegaCode systems | Backlit buttons and protective cover |
| MDTK NMTK LPWKP MegaCode | Compatible MegaCode receivers | Rolling-code feature listed |
| Genie GUK-R | Multiple-door, multi-brand use | Operates up to three openers |
| Linear NMTK LPWKP MDTK | Eligible MegaCode systems needing guest access | Temporary-password feature listed |
NMTK DNT00094 Wireless Linear Keypad
Best for: owners of a Linear LDCO863B, LDCO841, LDCO850, LDCO852, LCDO801, LDCO800, LDO33, LDO55, LDO50, LSO50, or LCO75. It is listed as a replacement for the LPWKP and DNT00058 MDTK keypads, making it a direct option for buyers whose equipment appears on that compatibility list.
The user can choose a one-to-six-digit PIN or a one-to-six-letter PIN name. The product information says programming is performed at the keypad and that the MegaCode receiver auto-learns the PIN. It is identified as a genuine Linear keypad and a newer version.
Limitation: The stated compatibility list is specific; check the exact opener model before ordering rather than assuming it works with every Linear system.
GARAGE STOP Wireless MDTK Replacement Keypad
Best for: buyers with a compatible Linear MegaCode opener who want illuminated keys and a covered keypad. Listed models include LD033, LD050, LS050, LC075, and LDCO800. The listing describes it as a wireless replacement for Linear MDTK and DNT00058 keypads, not as a universal product.
Users enter a personal one-to-six-digit PIN for keyless access. The buttons are illuminated for visibility in dim conditions, and a hinged cover helps shield the keypad when it is idle. After PIN entry, the START/STOP button remains active briefly, so the user can stop or reverse the door without entering the code again.
Limitation: Compatibility is limited to select systems. The product listing advises checking the opener model before ordering.
MDTK NMTK LPWKP MegaCode Keypad
Best for: owners whose opener or receiver matches the listed MegaCode compatibility information. Listed opener models include LD033, LD050, LS050, LC075, LDCO800, LSO50, and LSO50-2T. Receiver models listed include MDR, MDR-U, MDR-2, MDRG, MDRM, MGR, MGR-2, and SMDRG.
The product is described as compatible with LPWKP and MDTK 318 MHz MegaCode keypads and as using rolling-code technology. Its listing says it generates a new encrypted code each time the PIN is entered, intended to prevent signal capture and replay.
Limitation: The listing explicitly says it does not support dip-switch openers. Confirm the receiver and opener type before choosing it.
Genie GUK-R Universal Wireless Keypad
Best for: buyers looking for a keypad that can operate up to three garage door openers across brands. The product information says it is compatible with major opener brands and highlights large backlit buttons, which can help make PIN entry easier in low light.
This option differs from the Linear-specific replacements above: its main distinction is multi-brand use and support for up to three doors. It may suit a household with several openers, provided the specific opener models are supported.
Limitation: The supplied details do not identify specific Linear models or receivers. Verify compatibility for your exact Linear opener before selecting this alternative.
Linear NMTK LPWKP MDTK MegaCode Keypad
Best for: users with a compatible 318 MHz Linear MegaCode opener who want a listed temporary-password function for guests. The product names LD033, LD050, LS050, LC075, LDCO800, LSO50, and LSO50-2T, as well as MDR, MDR-U, MDR-2, MDRG, MDRM, MGR, MGR-2, and SMDRG receivers.
It provides wireless PIN entry without a handheld remote. The listing also identifies MegaCode rolling-code encryption and a temporary password feature, which can be useful when giving short-term access to a guest.
Limitation: This keypad is not described as compatible with dip-switch openers. Check the model and receiver details before purchase.
Buying Guide: How To Choose A Linear Keypad
Which opener and receiver do you have?
Start by locating the model number on the garage door opener or receiver. Compare it with the keypad’s listed compatibility information. A keypad described as a replacement for MDTK or LPWKP is not necessarily universal, and similar product names do not guarantee that two models share the same compatibility.
Is your system MegaCode or dip-switch?
Several products here specify Linear MegaCode compatibility and state that dip-switch openers are not supported. If you cannot identify your system, check the opener documentation or receiver label before ordering. Do not rely only on the keypad’s brand or appearance.
What features matter for daily use?
- PIN format: The DNT00094 lists one-to-six-digit or one-to-six-letter PIN options. Other listings describe one-to-six-digit PIN entry.
- Low-light access: The GARAGE STOP and Genie listings specify illuminated or backlit buttons.
- Guest access: The B0DMK82MZ4 listing includes a temporary-password function.
- Multiple doors: The Genie GUK-R listing says it can operate up to three openers.
- Weather shielding: The GARAGE STOP model has a hinged protective cover.
Which option is better for a direct replacement?
Choose a model that names your exact opener or receiver and replacement keypad model. The DNT00094 lists a broad set of Linear opener models and replacement names. The other MegaCode options list select models and receivers, so they may be a better match when those identifiers align with your equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will any wireless keypad work with a Linear opener?
No. The products have different compatibility lists, and some explicitly do not support dip-switch openers. Check your exact model and receiver.
What does MegaCode mean for these keypads?
In these listings, MegaCode identifies the supported Linear opener or receiver system. Some products also describe rolling-code encryption as a security feature.
Can I use a keypad without carrying a remote?
Yes. The listed keypads provide PIN-based wireless entry for compatible openers, so a handheld remote is not needed for keypad access.
Which option is designed for more than one garage door?
The Genie GUK-R listing says it can operate up to three garage door openers. Confirm that each specific opener is supported.
Should I choose a keypad that says it is universal?
Only if its compatibility information matches your opener. The Genie model is described as universal across major brands, but the supplied details do not name specific Linear models.
