The Merlin Prolift 230T is a high quality, durable, reliable garage door opener which is built to last, unlike some of the cheaper versions available on the market.
With one touch of a button your garage door opens, a welcoming light comes on and you drive in - warm, safe and dry. One more touch and the door closes and is positively locked behind you. You leave the garage and the light turns off automatically about 4 minutes later. All this from the comfort and safety of your car. What could be easier?
The Prolift 230T is suitable for tilt-up and sectional doors. The 80kg maximum lifting force makes the opener suitable for both single and double doors made of wood, steel or fibreglass. The Prolift 230T will open doors of up to 3.0 meters (9ft 10in) high and 6.0 meters (19ft 8in) wide. Doors over 2.2 meters (7ft 2in) high, simply require a further extension kit - please contact us for more details of this kit

What's included in the box:
Also available - Not included as standard:
There are 3 types of garage doors:- Type 1>A Canopy door, where the tracks the door runs on, are up the side of the door frame and when the door is fully open, approx. 1/3 of the garage door protrudes out of the front of the garage. Type 2>A Retractable or sectional door, where the tracks run back into the garage and when the door is open it is totally within the garage. Type 3>A Counterweighted door, where there are large counterweights which hang down on each side of the door.
If you have Type 1> you need a 'Bow arm converter'. If you have Type 2> you only need the standard opener. If you have Type 3> this garage door opener is NOT suitable for your door.

I would also like to point out that I had a bit of hassle with my delivery. The courier pointed out that the box of my Bow arm converter was damaged and there was nuts & bolts rattling about inside. When I opened the box there seemed to be some missing. On reporting this to my supplier they assured me they would sort it out. I could\'nt wait for the new bolts to come as I was in the middle of installing it, so I went to B & Q and bought various nuts & bolts to complete the job. Eddie McDougall Aberdeen
I purchased a Merlin Prolift 230T garage door opener & Bow arm converter on December 2009. I was a bit dubious about the bow arm converter as reviews from other door opener manufacturers said to avoid using them. But i was pleasantly surprised how well it works along with the Merlin Prolift 230T. I found the intstructions a little confusing for a novice, but did manage after reading several times. I had to link the power from an existing socket in the garage & used conduit piping to keep cables tidy, which would be difficult for alot of novices. I have\'nt had much chance to use my new Merlin as the winter weather is quite bad in Scotland and have left my car in the garage at the moment. But it seems to be working fine and of course there is the guarantee to back it up if things do go wrong in the future. My wife is now complaining that she does\'nt have a remote, so I will have to purchase another one!!!? I look forward to using my Merlin garage door opener, when all the bad weather comes.

The on-line purchase was painless and I was kept up to date with each stage of the delivery process. The product from Merlin is far superior to anything else I have seen - it is well engineered and appears robust enough to justify their warranty. The fitting was straight forward and can be achieved by a competent DIY person with a reasonable inventory of tools. In my case the Merlin product lifts a double, steel framed, aluminium clad, door with ease and I am looking forward to a trouble free operation that even my wife got exicited about. Thank you.

I bought one of these units as a replacement for an old system that broke down having first made some enquiries with the retailer to check that it was what I needed. My 'e' mail enquiry was dealt with promptly and subsequent delivery was within 48hrs of payment. The unit was easy enough to install and seems more than powerful enough to operate my double sectional garage door. Subsequent enquiries with the retailer have also been dealt with efficiently.

I would like to say what a marvellous company this is. There was slight confusion on delivery but they were in constant contact and sorted the matter out in 2 days Well done would also say the Merlin was easy to fit. Many Thanks
