The Heaviest Doors Merlin Will Automate

The Commander Platinum II is the top of Merlin’s residential sectional range, rated to 350kg with 1300N of pulling force. Nothing else in the range goes higher.

That capacity comes from the rail as much as the motor. Where standard openers use a pressed steel C-rail, the Platinum II runs a heavy duty extruded aluminium rail engineered to carry custom designer doors in solid timber, stone clad and oversized panel without flex.

Everything is in the box. The myQ Connectivity Bundle gives smartphone control, scheduling and alerts from day one, and the Wireless Safety Beam Kit means no cable to run down the door tracks and back to the opener. Corner-to-corner LED lighting covers the full garage rather than the pool of light a standard opener throws.

Replacing an MS135MYQ Commander Platinum? This is the direct upgrade. Same 350kg rating and same rail system, with the safety beams upgraded from wired to wireless and the lighting upgraded to corner-to-corner LED.

Stepping down: if your door is under 286kg, the MS127MYQ Commander Extreme II covers it at lower cost, though myQ and beams are optional extras on that model rather than included.

Recommended Add-Ons

Merlin M-BBU24V Battery Backup is the one accessory worth adding. On a 350kg custom door, lifting by hand during a power cut is not realistic, so backup power matters more here than on any other opener in the range.

The myQ Smartphone Bundle is not needed with this model. The Gateway and safety beams are already included.

Merlin MS137MYQ Garage Door Opener Specifications

Merlin MS137MYQ Garage Door Opener Features

The Commander Platinum II is built for premium, custom and oversized sectional doors, the ones a standard opener will not move. Rigorous testing backs the 350kg rating, and the heavy duty extruded aluminium rail is what makes it possible.

A quiet 24V DC motor with thermal overload protection keeps operation smooth despite the power on tap, which matters on an internal garage with living space above. Soft start and soft stop reduce wear and noise, automatic force sensing 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.

The Wireless Safety Beam System is the practical upgrade over the previous model. No cable to run down the door tracks and back to the opener, which on a custom installation saves real time. The beams stop the door closing if something breaks the beam, which matters more on a door of this weight than on any other in the range.

The included myQ Connectivity Bundle means smartphone control works from day one. Monitor and control the door from anywhere, set schedules, share guest access, and get real time alerts when the door opens, closes or is left open. Timer to Close automatically shuts the door after a set period.

The supplied E970M remote controls use Security+ 2.0 rolling code encryption, generating a new code with every press. By transmitting across 433.30, 433.92 and 434.54 MHz they select the strongest frequency each time, which virtually eliminates interference and gives up to 18% better range than earlier Merlin models. Corner-to-corner LED lighting and compliance with AS/NZS 60335.2.95 come as standard.
