Old garage door opener remotes for Tiltamatic, Parker and Windsor brands
These remotes are still incredibly common and this is a testament to the quality of the garage door openers. With these openers generally a replacement remote is sufficient as the unit itself is generally in perfect working order.
We have replacement remotes for all of these models available ex stock, please see the pictures below to identify the correct model for your unit.
Obsolete ATA and Elsema old garage door opener remote
With old style Elsema and ATA remotes we have two different styles. The first of these varieties is the common ATA GDO2 style remotes and the Elsema FMT style remotes.
Both of these remotes can be replaced by an easy to program dipswitch remote. The next variety is the older ATA TX4A remote, this model is now replaced by a receiver board which comes with brand new PTX5 style remote. This receiver board can be added to any old style ATA opener to allow it to be programmed with brand new remotes.
Old garage door opener remote for Merlin garage doors
We have many different solutions for older and hard to find Merlin remotes. Some remotes are replaceable by current models such as the M800 and 2100 remotes, these are replaced by the M802 blue merlin visor remote.
Other models such as the M2500L, M1000 and M2000 powerlift models we can replace by cloning an existing remote which is still in working condition.
If no remaining remotes are working on a Merlin opener we have an easy to install receiver kit, this kit comes with one new style Merlin m842 remote and comes ready to plug straight into your garage motor.
Garage Door Receiver Kit Unit
We have specific door receiver kits for Merlin and ATA models, so if you have one of these remotes please purchase the correct receiver kit for your model.
With all other garage openers if we have exhausted all our options and can't find a suitable remote we have a receiver kit available.
This kit needs to be wired into your motor and will take some DIY skill. The kit comes with full instructions and two remotes.
