Merlin garage door remotes are available in a range of models, making them suitable for a variety of different needs. Some of our models include multiple buttons for multiple doors and some have keychains for convenient portability. The M842 has two buttons, the C945 has three buttons and for one button operation, go simple with the E940M.  If you just want a spare or replacement remote controller, choose the compatible C943 model.

Merlin’s range of remote controls has been specifically engineered to work with their powerheads. This ensures that you get the best performance out of your garage door opener, as well as the most convenient operation possible.

In addition to opening and closing your garage door at the touch of a button, these remotes also utilise rolling code technology. This means that when you press the button on your remote to operate the garage door opener, it changes the access code that has been programmed into it to ensure greater security from would-be intruders. Rolling code technology also means that your remote will work even if someone else in the neighbourhood has a similar one, this eliminates interference from other devices.

Aside from a wide range of rolling code remotes available, we also stock a number of keyring remotes in both fixed and rolling code varieties.  If you’re looking for a specific model or just want some advice on which remote best suits your needs, our team is always ready to take your call.

Why does my garage door remote not working?

Garage door remotes can stop working for a few reasons. These reasons can include battery issues, signal range, or even the garage door opener itself.

The first thing to check is the battery. If there is nothing wrong with the battery, try replacing it with a new one. If this does not work, you will need to check the antenna on your garage door opener. Most garage doors have an antenna wire that hangs down from the motor. If this wire gets disconnected or damaged in any way, then it will not receive the signal from your remote control and your garage door will not work properly. Check also your opener. Unplug your opener and plug it back in again. This is like rebooting your computer when it freezes up. Unplug the opener from its power source, wait a few seconds, and then plug it back in again. See if this fixes the problem with your garage door opener not working right.
