A closed garage door doesn't necessarily mean it's secure. Our Auto-Lock feature is engineered to prevent unauthorised opening by automatically engaging a heavy-duty bolt upon receiving a signal from the remote control. This eliminates the need for a key, providing enhanced security against break-ins.
Types of garage doors
-
Roller garage doors
Roller garage doors provide a practical and affordable option for garages, laneways, and storage sheds. Their design enables them to roll upwards, similar to how a carpet rolls, neatly into the space at the top of the door's entrance. This feature not only maximises the available ceiling space for lighting or additional storage but also allows vehicles to park very close to the door, efficiently utilising driveway area.
These doors are available for purchase both with and without an automated opening system. They are designed for increased security, incorporating a robust key lock to deter unauthorised access. Furthermore, they are constructed to endure high winds, making them a suitable choice for regions frequently affected by cyclones.
-
Sectional garage doors
Constructed from multiple interconnected panels that give the appearance of a single, unified door, sectional garage doors are customisable to fit various shapes and sizes of garage openings. Distinct from roller doors, these doors glide along metal tracks fixed to the ceiling when they open or close. Available in an array of styles and colours, they are a favoured option for domestic settings, offering a contemporary look, robustness, and practicality.
The era of physically lifting and unlocking garage doors is now obsolete. Sectional garage doors are typically bought with an automated opener, providing enhanced security. And since many garage doors do not have locks, B&D's automatic locking systems eliminate the need for manual locks, ensuring that access is restricted to individuals with a remote control.
-
Tilt doors
Tilt doors are not a common choice for garage doors, mainly due to their safety and security concerns. This is why B&D don't produce or install tilt doors. Comprising a single, heavy piece without hinged panels, these doors have exposed springs on each side. This design can strain the springs and balance mechanism during operation. Over time, worn springs may break, causing the door to close suddenly and without warning, posing a risk to people, children, pets, and vehicles.

Automatic Reverse and Backdrive
Each B&D automated garage door is equipped with an Automatic Reverse function. This feature detects resistance or blockages, preventing the door from closing on objects, individuals, or valuables. Additionally, the Automatic Backdriveactivates the motor to move downwards if an attempt is made to forcibly open the door.
-
Infrared motion detection
Wireless safety beams are a vital safety measure for roller and sectional garage doors. These beams, situated close to the garage door's base, detect any object in the door's path. If something is detected, the door won't close, and if the beam is interrupted, the opener reverses direction. This feature plays a crucial role in preventing accidents and injuries.
-
Smart phone operation
Control and monitor your garage door using a smartphone or tablet with our smart door operation feature. The B&D Smart Phone app notifies you if the door is open, in use, or blocked, and can connect with multiple devices simultaneously.
-
Warranty
A comprehensive warranty is vital for your garage door. It guarantees that your door will function correctly and endure regular wear and tear. B&D garage doors and openers are designed to work together efficiently, which is why we offer a leading 10-year Total Confidence Warranty, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.

Choosing a garage door style
Garage doors are available in an array of materials, styles, colours, and finishes, from luxurious designer doors to classic options. As they constitute about 60% of a home's exterior, garage doors are as critical to your home's curb appeal as front doors, windows, or external cladding. Which is why investing in a high-quality door is essential.
Our COLORBOND garage doors offer a variety of options that can harmoniously blend with your existing or planned colour scheme and other steel elements of your home. On the other hand, our Knotwood doors provide a high-quality woodgrain finish that emulates the texture and warmth of real timber, adding a natural, rustic charm to your home’s exterior.
