Perfect Parking Every Time with the LiftMaster Laser Garage Parking Assist (975LM)

Garage Door Opener Laser Parking Assistant

Do you ever find yourself wondering how far to pull forward when parking in your garage? If you have a tight garage, a large vehicle, or use your garage for storage, parking can become a daily challenge. While hanging a tennis ball from the ceiling or using a parking stop mat may get the job done, the LiftMaster Laser Garage Parking Assist (975LM) offers a cleaner, more professional solution.

Park with Precision

The LiftMaster 975LM uses a Class 2 laser to project a small red dot onto your vehicle’s dashboard. Once the laser is aligned with a fixed reference point on your dashboard, you simply pull into the garage until the laser reaches that spot. This allows you to park in the exact same position every time.

No more guessing, bumping into stored items, or relying on hanging tennis balls or floor-mounted parking mats.

Its compact design makes it a great addition to finished garages and any space where parking clearance is limited.

Features

  • Class 2 laser for accurate vehicle positioning
  • Easy ceiling-mounted installation
  • Connects directly to compatible LiftMaster and Chamberlain garage door openers
  • No external power supply required
  • Automatic shutoff after one minute on select models

Installation

Installing the LiftMaster Laser Garage Parking Assist is simple and only takes a few basic tools. The unit mounts to the ceiling behind your garage door opener and receives power directly from the opener, eliminating the need for batteries or an additional power outlet.

Tools Needed

  • Screwdriver
  • Stud finder
  • Tape measure
  • Ladder

Step 1: Mount the Unit

Use a stud finder to locate a secure mounting point on the ceiling. Position the laser so it has a clear line of sight to your vehicle’s dashboard, then fasten it using the included screws and anchors.

Step 2: Connect the Wiring

Connect the parking assistant’s wires to the white and white/black photo-eye terminals on your compatible LiftMaster or Chamberlain garage door opener.

Step 3: Align the Laser

Park your vehicle exactly where you want it to stop each time. Turn on the laser and adjust the beam until the red dot lands on a fixed point on your dashboard, such as a vent, badge, or trim piece.

Step 4: Park with Confidence

Each time you return home, simply pull into the garage while watching the laser dot. When the dot reaches your chosen reference point, you’ll know your vehicle is perfectly positioned.

Why Choose a Laser Parking Assist?

Unlike traditional parking aids such as hanging tennis balls or tire stop mats, a laser parking assist provides a discreet, reliable, and highly accurate parking reference. It’s especially useful for homeowners with limited garage space, oversized vehicles, or garages that double as workshops or storage areas.

If you’re looking for an inexpensive upgrade that makes parking easier every day, the LiftMaster Laser Garage Parking Assist (975LM) is a simple solution that delivers consistent results.
