Built For Heavy And Custom Doors

The Commander Extreme II is Merlin’s most powerful residential opener, made for doors that standard openers cannot handle. It is engineered for cyclone rated and high wind regions, and for heavy custom doors in timber, solid steel or oversized panel.

Lifting capacity runs in three tiers. Up to 150kg as supplied. Up to 286kg with Safety IR Beams fitted and the opener set to slow speed on the chain rail. Above that and up to 350kg with beams, slow speed and extruded aluminium rails.

Note this model ships with a chain rail rather than a belt. Chain is what carries the heavy lifting ratings. If your garage sits under a bedroom and noise matters more than capacity, the MS107MYQ Commander Elite II uses a quieter belt drive and handles doors to 150kg.

Replacing an existing MS125MYQ Commander Extreme? This is the direct upgrade and mounts using the same fittings and hardware, with no need to modify the rail.

Recommended Add-Ons

The MS127MYQ works with the full Merlin accessory range. Two are worth considering at the time of purchase rather than later.

Merlin M-BBU24V Battery Backup keeps the door working during a power cut, which matters most on a heavy door you cannot easily lift by hand.

Merlin myQ Smartphone Bundle adds phone control, scheduling and open or left-open alerts. It includes the Safety IR Beams, which are required for myQ to work and are also what unlocks the 286kg lifting rating on this opener. If you are running a door over 150kg, you need the beams regardless, so the bundle is the sensible way to buy them.

Merlin MS127MYQ Garage Door Opener Features

The Commander Extreme II sits at the top of Merlin’s residential sectional range. Where a standard opener runs 600N to 1000N, this one delivers 1200N, and it is rated for storm prone and high wind regions where a door takes real load every time it moves.

That power is what lets it handle doors other openers cannot. Solid timber, oversized custom panel, insulated doors and cyclone rated installations all fall within its range. It drives sectional and panel doors up to 20m², 3.5m high and 5.7m wide.

A quiet DC motor with soft start and soft stop keeps operation smooth despite the extra power. Automatic force sensing monitors and adjusts the force needed with every cycle, and the premium automatic safety reverse stops and reverses the door if it meets an obstruction on the way down. A manual release cord lets you open the door by hand during a power outage.

The included E970M remote controls use Security+ 2.0 rolling code encryption, generating a new code each time a button is pressed. By transmitting across 433.30, 433.92 and 434.54 MHz the remotes select the strongest frequency each time, which virtually eliminates interference and stops code grabbing devices replaying the signal to open your door.
