Which Merlin opener suits your door?
Sectional doors: Commander range
For sectional doors, Merlin's Commander range runs from Essential up to Ultimate. The Commander Essential is designed for standard residential sectional garage doors. It suits a single sectional door up to 2.4 metres high and 90 kilograms. There are larger models in the range that suit bigger and heavier doors. The Commander Extreme II handles doors up to 3.5 metres high and 286 kilograms and is compatible with Merlin's wireless Safety PE Beams for remote access and usage.
The Commander Ultimate is side wall mounted instead of ceiling mounted. This motor is direct drive, taking away the need for a chain and motor pole, this frees up headroom in low garages. The Commander Ultimate suits doors up to 4.2 metres high and 230 kilograms.
Roller doors: SilentDrive and WeatherDrive
For domestic roller doors, Merlin offers the SilentDrive Essential, the SilentDrive Elite and the WeatherDrive. The SilentDrive range is built for quiet operation. That matters if your garage sits under a living area or near a bedroom. The SilentDrive Elite handles roller garage doors up to 4.5 metres high and 120 kilograms. The WeatherDrive handles doors up to 5.5 metres high and 100 kilograms.
| Model | Door type | Max height | Max weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Commander Essential | Sectional | 2.4 m | 90 kg |
| Commander Extreme II | Sectional | 3.5 m | 286 kg |
| Commander Ultimate | Sectional | 4.2 m | 230 kg |
| SilentDrive Elite | Roller | 4.5 m | 120 kg |
| WeatherDrive | Roller | 5.5 m | 100 kg |
Merlin's warranties run from three to seven years, depending on the model. Merlin generally recommends an annual service, and its servicing requirements for warranty vary by opener, so check your manual.
How do Merlin's security and smart features work?
100 billion
180
5
Security+ 2.0
Merlin's Security+ 2.0 technology sends a new code every time you press the remote. It picks one code from 100 billion encrypted rolling codes. This rolling-code technology improves security by generating a new encrypted code every time the remote is used. The code changes with every press, so an old signal cannot be reused.
You can program up to 180 remotes to one Merlin opener.
myQ smart control
Smart control comes from Merlin's myQ app. Most Merlin models connect to myQ via an internet gateway, and the Commander Ultimate has Wi-Fi built in. Once set up, you can open and close the door from your phone and get alerts. You can also share access with up to five trusted users. That adds everyday convenience for families and trades.
B&D openers
What does B&D offer?
Controll-A-Door Power Drive
For residential roller doors, including Roll-A-Door and Roll-A-Door Neo. It has a 600 newton motor, soft start and stop and LED courtesy lights.
Smart Pro
For heavy sectional doors in the Designer Series. It has a 1400 newton motor, smartphone control, a rechargeable battery backup and B&D's AUTO LOCK. It has automatic reverse and backdrive prevention, which stops the door being forced open.
Secure Opener
For standard Panelift sectional doors, single or double.
B&D’s opener warranty is seven years or a set number of lift cycles, 20,000 to 30,000 depending on the model. It extends to 10 years when you buy the opener with a B&D door. Because garage doors and openers involve tensioned components and safety systems, professional installation helps ensure reliable operation and compliance with current safety requirements. If you own a B&D door, our remote range includes B&D remotes.
Why do battery backup and safety upgrades matter?
Battery backup
Safety
Can you add an opener to your existing door?
Often, yes. Merlin says compatible openers can often be retrofitted, without a new door. The result depends on your door type, size and weight, and on whether the springs are balanced correctly.
Roller doors roll up around a drum, and roller door openers attach to that drum at the side of the door, so you need some side room there. Sectional doors open along the ceiling, so their openers sit there and you need headroom. If the motor on an older door has failed, our service and repairs team can handle the repair, replacement or upgrade.
