CAR SAFE

Safety should be a key consideration when selecting an automatic garage door, as a garage door will be the largest moving item in your house.  Doors can vary dramatically in the safety features they include.

B&D believes the safety of your family and possessions is of the utmost importance.  Because cars and other vehicles are used constantly with garage doors, we incorporate some of the most advanced features into our openers to help protect them, including:

Controll-A-Door range – Automatic reverse function:

If the door comes into contact with an obstruction on its downward journey it goes back up, or if it comes into contact with an obstruction on its upward journey it automatically stops.

Safety infra-red beams can be fitted as an optional extra:

When safety infra-red beams are fitted to openers, the door will automatically stop and reverse if the beam is broken whilst the door is closing.

This means if a child, pet or vehicle, goes under the door while it is closing, the door will stop and reverse, without making contact with the child/pet/vehicle.

B&D recommend the use of safety infra-red beams on all automatic garage doors.
