Latest Advancements in Garage Door Technology

At Eastern Garage Doors, we are committed to providing our customers with the latest advancements in garage door technology. Merlin’s newest products offer enhanced safety, convenience, and seamless integration with the myQ technology, ensuring a superior garage experience. Let’s explore these innovations:​

Merlin Commander Platinum MS135MYQ

The Commander Platinum is Merlin’s most powerful garage door opener, designed to handle heavy sectional doors with ease. It boasts a maximum lifting capacity of 350kg and features a durable extruded aluminium rail system for robust performance. Integrated with myQ technology, this opener allows you to monitor and control your garage door remotely via the myQ app, providing both convenience and peace of mind. 

Merlin Safety Beams (The Protector System – 774ANZ)

Safety is paramount, and Merlin’s Protector System enhances this by using invisible beams across the garage door opening. If the beam is obstructed during door operation, the system stops and reverses the door to prevent accidents. This feature integrates with myQ, allowing you to receive alerts if an obstruction is detected, adding an extra layer of security to your garage.

myQ Remote LED Light (827AU)

Illuminate your garage with the myQ Remote LED Light, offering 1,500 lumens of bright, diffuse light to reach every corner of your workspace. This energy-efficient LED light can be operated via any compatible Merlin Security+ 2.0 remote control and integrates with the myQ app, allowing you to control and schedule lighting from anywhere. Its easy mounting options make it a versatile addition to any garage.

By incorporating these Merlin products into your garage setup, you not only enhance the functionality and safety of your garage door system but also enjoy the convenience of seamless integration with myQ technology. At Eastern Garage Doors, we’re here to help you upgrade to these latest innovations for a smarter, safer garage experience.​
