Why Merlin?

Merlin is a trusted Australian brand for gate automation. We install it because it is proven, well-supported, and has options that suit a wide range of residential and light-commercial gates.

3-year manufacturer's parts warranty

All Merlin gate motors we supply and install come backed by a 3-year manufacturer's parts warranty — plus our own 12-month workmanship warranty.

Reliable day-to-day use

Smooth operation and consistent performance when the motor is correctly matched to the gate.

Smart control options

Some setups support myQ smart access so you can open and monitor your gate from your phone.

Installed properly

A good motor still needs a good install — correct limits, safety checks, and tidy cabling.

Merlin gate motor range

Below is the full range of Merlin gate motors we supply and install. We will recommend the right model for your gate based on its size, weight, and how you use it.

Sliding gate motors

Slide gates operate by gliding along a linear track on the ground, using wheels to move sideways rather than swinging open. They retract neatly along a fence line or wall, making them a space-saving solution for driveways of all sizes.

Automating your slide gate means personalised access that fits your lifestyle — with smart connectivity, safety features, and multiple remote-control options for convenience and security.
