Compatible Aftermarket Merlin C945 To Suit Auto Openers AO945
This replaces a remote badged AO945. Auto Openers sold handsets under their own numbering to suit Merlin's bear claw generation, and AO945 is the one that covers the C945 and the motors around it. If AO945 is what is printed on your remote, this is the listing that matches it.

About the Compatible Aftermarket Merlin C945 To Suit Auto Openers AO945
That badge is the reason for a separate page. A remote carrying an Auto Openers number has no Merlin model on it anywhere, so searching Merlin part numbers gets a buyer nowhere. Underneath, it is the same generic handset we sell for the Merlin+ range and it codes to the same equipment.
Its companion is one digit away and entirely different. AO842 is the green Merlin system, covering the M832, M842 and M844, and that is the Compatible Aftermarket Merlin M842/M844 To Suit Auto Openers AO842 listing. AO945 is the bear claw system. Reading the number carefully is the whole check, because the two Auto Openers codes look almost identical and the systems behind them share nothing.
What it opens is wider than anybody expects from a garage door remote. The driveway gate is the surprise: Merlin sliding gate motors and the linear swing gate openers are both on the published list, alongside the MGA600 XLR8 Wingmate 3. Then the doors, from the MR60 up to the MR1000 on rollers and from the MT60 through to the MT5580P on tilt and sectional, plus the MJ3800 pair, the CB22 board and a run of Chamberlain and MotorLift units. Every entry is set out on our Merlin+ Compatible Remote page.
It does not cover EVO motors, and it does not cover any handset reading Merlin+2.0 on the front.
Before ordering, confirm that your existing remote is the one shown in the main product image and that your motor appears on the published list. Either check on its own leaves room to get this wrong.
Rolling code, 433 MHz, up to three doors, and a slim case at about 3 cm by 6 cm by 1 cm. The CR2032 coin cell is fitted before dispatch and the cover needs a tool. AS62368.1 testing is published for this model.
Auto Openers is not Merlin. This handset is not manufactured, authorised, endorsed or approved by Merlin.
If the printing on your old remote has worn to the point where you cannot tell an AO842 from an AO945, do not guess between them. Photograph the front and the back, send it to service@allgate.com.au, and we will read it for you. Guessing here is a coin toss between two incompatible systems.
