Safety Beams.

A garage door is the largest, heaviest moving part of a home, so consider the risks if it were to close on a family member, pet, car or bike.

While all B&D automatic garage door motors feature built-in auto-reverse functionality to stop the door from colliding with an object, Safety Beams are specially designed to prevent potential injury to people or damage to valuables.

How does it work?

B&D strongly recommended safety beams if you have kids or pets.

B&D Safety Beams will stop your door from closing if the infrared beam is ‘broken’ or obstructed, ensuring you, your family members, friends and valuable possessions are kept out of harm’s way.

Infrared sensors are placed on either side of your garage door, inches above the ground. When the door begins to close, the sensors are immediately activated. If a sensor recognises something in the path of the door closing, such as a child, pet or car, it stops the door and immediately reverses it back up.

Plus, unlike others on the market, B&D Safety Beams are completely wireless. That means there’s no need for complicated electrics and removes the risks associated with damaged wires.

  • What is a safety beam?

    Safety beams sit at the base of your garage door and shoot an invisible beam from one side of the door to the other. When the beam is obstructed the garage door opener will not engage and if it is lowering will automatically stop and reverse preventing potentially catastrophic damage.

    Safety beams are crucial for families with pets or small children and are required by law to be fitted on all garages with smart phone capability. For more information call us on 13 62 63 to discuss what options are available for you.
