Roller garage doors provide a practical and economical option for securing garages, laneways, and sheds. These doors are designed to maximise space efficiency, allowing you to use the ceiling area for lighting or additional storage. They operate by rolling upwards in a tight coil at the top of the door frame, enabling you to park your car close to the door, saving space in the driveway.
These doors are available both with and without an automated opening system. Roller garage doors are built with a robust key lock system to enhance security and prevent unauthorised access. They can also be built to resist strong winds, making them suitable for regions frequently affected by cyclones.
Sectional garage doors consist of multiple interconnected panels, giving the appearance of a single, solid door. They are customisable to fit various shapes and sizes of garage openings. In contrast to roller doors, sectional doors move along metal tracks fixed to the ceiling during their opening and closing cycle. Available in different styles and colours, these doors are a favourite choice for residential properties due to their contemporary look, durability, and practicality.
With sectional garage doors, the necessity of manual operation and physical unlocking is a thing of the past. These doors are usually bought with an automatic opener for enhanced security. Most garage doors lack a lock, but B&D's automatic locking systems eliminate the need for manual locks, ensuring that access is limited to those with a remote.
Tilt doors are less frequently used in garages due to their associated safety and security concerns, which is why B&D don't produce or install them. These doors consist of a single, heavy piece with exposed springs on both sides, rather than being made of hinged panels. The weight of the door places significant stress on the springs and balancing mechanisms during operation. Over time, worn-out springs can break, causing the door to shut suddenly and unexpectedly, posing a risk to people, pets, and vehicles nearby.
A closed garage door doesn't always mean it's secure. Our Auto-Lock feature is engineered to prevent burglars from lifting an unsecured garage door. It activates a heavy-duty locking bolt automatically via a remote signal, eliminating the need for a key.
Each B&D automatic garage door is equipped with an Automatic Reverse function integrated into the motor. This feature detects resistance or blockage, helping to avert accidents by stopping the door from closing on obstacles such as people or belongings. Additionally, the Automatic Backdrive activates the motor to close the door if it's being forcibly opened.
Beyond the auto-reverse functionality, wireless safety beams are crucial for safeguarding children, pets, vehicles, and other valuables. These beams, positioned just above the garage door's bottom, prevent closure if an object is detected in the door's path. The door reverses automatically if the beam is interrupted, significantly reducing the risk of accidents.
Control and monitor your garage door with your smartphone or tablet using the B&D Smart Phone app. This system allows linkage to multiple devices and lets you know if your door is left open, used, or blocked.
A comprehensive warranty for your garage door is vital. It guarantees the door's continued optimal performance and durability. B&D garage doors and openers are designed to function seamlessly together, which is why we offer a leading 10-year Total Confidence Warranty*, ensuring their long-term efficiency and dependability.
