Commander Platinum 2

Commander Platinum 2 Garage Door Opener

The Commander Platinum II (model MS137MYQX25 / MS137MYQX30) is Merlin's most powerful residential sectional garage door opener, installed by LT Doors across Wollongong and the Illawarra for premium, heavy garage doors.

Built for Wollongong's coastal conditions

Larger, heavier sectional doors are common on the bigger blocks across Wollongong's newer estates and acreage properties toward the Southern Highlands — the Platinum II's extruded aluminium rail and higher pulling force handle these without straining, and myQ smart control is useful if the garage sits some distance from the house.

what LT doors thinks

This is the opener we reach for when a standard motor isn't rated for the job — heavy timber doors, oversized sectional doors, or anything pushing toward 350kg. For a typical single or double garage door, the Commander Ultimate does the job for less; the Platinum II earns its price on genuinely heavy or oversized doors.

Key features

  • Rail: extruded aluminium, available in two lengths for doors up to 2.5m or 3.0m high
  • Connectivity: myQ Connectivity Bundle and Wireless Safety Beam System included
  • Lifting power: operates doors up to 350kg
  • Warranty: 7 years, with professional servicing recommended in years 3 and 5
  • Security: Security+2.0 encrypted rolling code, up to 18% improved transmitter range
  • Safety: automatic safety reverse, automatic force sensing
  • Operation: soft start/soft stop, LED lighting

What makes the Commander Platinum 2 different

Most residential openers top out well under 350kg. The Platinum II's extruded rail and 1300N pulling force are built specifically for premium, heavy doors that would strain a standard motor, and it comes with the full myQ Connectivity Bundle and safety beam system included rather than sold as a separate accessory.

Which doors it suits

Sectional garage doors, steel or timber spring-balanced, up to 3.0m high and 20m² door area. Single dwelling, max door weight up to 350kg.

Which model should you choose?

For a standard single or double garage door, the Commander Ultimate is the more cost-effective, wall-mount option. The Platinum 2 is the pick for heavier, oversized doors up to 350kg that need the extra lifting power and heavier-duty rail.

Installation, warranty and upgrades

Installed by LT Doors' licensed local team, backed by a written workmanship guarantee alongside Merlin's 7-year warranty (professional service recommended at years 3 and 5). Popular add-ons: myQ gateway, extra wireless safety beams, four-button remotes, wireless security keypad, battery backup.

I recently had LT Doors in Wollongong install a new garage door, and I couldn't be more pleased with the entire experience. From the start, their communication was excellent—clear, responsive, and professional every step of the way. The price was very competitive for the quality of the door, and they were upfront about all costs, with no hidden fees.
