What Our Customers Say
FAQs – B&D Garage Doors Melbourne
What is the difference between a belt drive and chain drive Merlin opener?
A belt drive opener offers ultra-quiet operation, ideal for garages near bedrooms or living spaces. A chain drive is more robust for heavy-duty use and slightly noisier but highly reliable.
How do I connect my Merlin opener to the MyQ app?
First, install the MyQ app on your smartphone, register your account, and follow the pairing instructions. Garage Door Solutions provides hands-on support during your installation to complete setup.
What’s included in a standard Merlin installation by Garage Door Solutions?
Our installations include mounting the motor, wiring, limit setting, safety testing, remote pairing, MyQ setup (if applicable), and a full user walkthrough. We also remove old equipment if required.
How do I know if my door is compatible with Merlin openers?
Most roller, sectional, and tilt doors are compatible. We offer a free onsite consultation to assess your door type, dimensions, and hardware condition before making a recommendation.
What maintenance does a Merlin opener need?
Annual servicing is ideal. This includes checking the drive system, tensioning, lubricating moving parts, recalibrating limits, and inspecting safety sensors. We offer affordable servicing packages.
Can I control more than one garage door with a single remote?
Yes. Merlin remotes can be programmed to control up to four doors or gates, depending on the model. We also offer dual and quad button transmitters.
What should I do if my remote stops working?
First, replace the battery. If the issue persists, it may need to be re-synced or replaced. We can test your remote and recommend the best solution.
How do safety beams work?
Infrared safety beams send an invisible light signal across your garage opening. If the beam is interrupted while the door is closing, the opener reverses immediately to prevent accidents.
Can I retrofit MyQ onto an older Merlin motor?
Some older models can be retrofitted with a MyQ hub and sensor. We’ll evaluate your existing opener to determine compatibility and quote accordingly.
Why should I choose Garage Door Solutions for my Merlin product installation?
We’re a certified, family-owned local business with over six decades of experience, offering expert guidance, fast turnaround times, and one of the only 10-Year Labour Guarantees in the industry.
