Trying to replace a bad switch in my electrical box. This one is in the
garage, a 3 gang box with lights and also two push buttons to control the
garage door.

I am trying to find another push button switch but HD or Lowes don't have
them. May have to try an electrical supply house on week days...if I
press the button once it opens the garage door (without having to press it
while it's moving up), if in the middle of opening I press it again it
will stop the door at that position. If I press it again it resumes the
opening again until it is fully opened. Then I press it again it will
close. The button is somehow also wired to the exterior hi-hat lights on
the outside of the garage doors, as long as the doors are up those lights
comes on automatically.

Is there a special name for these push button control switch that will fit
into a normal 1900 box with a mud ring extension? If I see them online I
might just get them on line.



This switch may be made specifically for your garage door opener. It may
actually be a digital type switch that sends its signals over a single pair
of wires. I suggest that you contact the garage door opener manufacturer
for information.
