Liftmaster keypad cover removal?
I have a LiftMaster garage door with
one of those multi-function door control pads by the door to the house. It looks almost exactly like this one
liftmaster.com/consumerweb/pdfdocs/114A2380.pdf
It has a big square button to operate the big door and two smaller buttons below it - one for lock and one for lights. I need to move the pad to repair surrounding drywall.
How can I remove the cover without breaking it?

Just read the instruction section on the site you posted. I believe it says to gently pry it at the top. to release the top tab, and then swing it out and lift to disengage the two bottom tabs.

UPDATE
I ended up just ripping it off of the wall because it wast obvious how to remove it. But I did discover how it is supposed to work.
There is a big square white button that operates the rolling garage door. At the top of that is a slot between the button and the control pad housing itself. Pry the white button off with slotted screwdriver and it swings down. Remove it and one screw is visible. Unscrew this and slide the whole assembly upwards on the wall. It will come free.

Thank you knothandy for letting us know how to do this. It worked perfectly. I went through the process of registering on this site just so I could thank you. I thought I was going to have to rip the keypad apart!
