B&D MPC2 TX318 compatible cloner remote for Controll-A-Door systems
The red box rule for MPC2 compatibility
This aftermarket transmitter replaces B&D MPC2 remotes used with Controll-A-Door hardware, and the compatibility test is unusually visual: your existing remote must have a red box around the button to be compatible. That single marking separates the supported MPC2 generation from the many other B&D handsets that look broadly similar. The package includes the compatible remote plus a key ring and battery, so everything needed for setup arrives in the one envelope. Because these older fixed-code systems predate rolling code, the replacement logic is mechanical rather than electronic, which is precisely why a well-made aftermarket unit at $19.45 can slot in so cleanly.
DIP switches mean no original remote is required
Unlike cloning remotes that copy a signal from a working original, this unit carries DIP switches inside, and that changes what is possible. You can set the switches to match the positions in your existing remote, or, if every original is lost, set a fresh random code and register it through your wall control panel using its code set button. An original remote is not required, which rescues households whose last MPC2 handset is long gone. As always with B&D gear, confirm your original remote style is pictured and your motor model is listed before committing.
Related B&D and multi-brand cloning options
B&D owners on this older platform sometimes prefer a pair of handsets, which is covered by the B&D Garage Door Remote MPC2 TX318 2 Pack. Households still running the 27.145MHz Controll-A-Door 4 era can modernise with the B&D Controll-A-Door CAD4 Remote Upgrade Kit 27.145MHz, and tinkerers juggling several fixed-code devices around the property may get more mileage from the Universal Garage Door Remote AOID Clones 250+ Remotes, which spans more than twenty brands. Whichever route fits your property, the common thread is matching the coding system first and the button layout second, because a remote that looks right but speaks the wrong protocol will never pair no matter how many times the steps are repeated.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know this will suit my B&D remote?
Check your current handset for the distinguishing mark: it must have a red box printed around the button to be compatible with this MPC2 TX318 replacement. Also confirm your original remote appears in the listing photos and your motor model is listed. B&D made several visually similar remotes across generations, and the red box is the quick way to identify the right one.
Can I use this if I lost my original remote?
Yes. Because the unit uses internal DIP switches rather than signal cloning alone, an original remote is not required. Set the switches to a random code of your choosing, then register that code through your wall control panel using its code set button. If you do still have a working original, you can instead match the DIP switch positions directly.
What are DIP switches and why do they matter here?
DIP switches are a row of tiny toggles inside the remote case that physically set the transmitted code. Matching the switch pattern to your old remote makes the new unit send an identical fixed code, while choosing a new pattern creates a fresh code for the wall control to learn. They make the remote configurable without any electronic programming equipment.
What comes in the package and how fast is shipping?
You receive one compatible remote, one key ring and one battery, ready to configure on arrival. Orders are dispatched within 24 hours, with standard delivery of 1 to 5 working days across Australia and 2 to 8 working days to New Zealand. A 30-day return policy applies if the remote proves incompatible with your Controll-A-Door setup.
