How does it work?

Preparing for a cyclone with B&D


B&D Wind Panel BracesAluminium braces are structured to both the door and garage structure when a cyclone event is imminent.

The door is robust and has been rigorously tested to withstand extreme wind. It’s heavy-duty galvanised steel hinges, reinforced track brackets, additional stiles and stainless-steel lifting cables.

When a cyclone passes, the braces can then be removed in less than five minutes.

  • Does the Windpanel garage door come with Auto-Lock included? The B&D Windpanel garage door can have Auto-Lock added as an upgrade to the door. The Panelift Icon door has Auto-Lock included as part of your purchase.
  • How do I arrange a measure and quote for my house? It’s simple, just phone us on 13 62 63 or visit your local B&D dealer.
  • Are all door sizes available? The Windpanel sectional garage door is available as a single and double garage door.
  • Can you match the garage door colour with the guttering/fascia of my house? Absolutely! With garages accounting for up to 60% of a homes façade it’s important that it matches the look and feel of your home. In fact, we can even match it to your outdoor furniture or water feature.

    Explore our extensive range of colours and designs below or book a complimentary consultation with our mobile showroom consultant. They can bring full scale colour and design samples right to your driveway, taking the guess work out of colour matching.
  • Does the Windpanel garage door come with an opener included? The Windpanel door does not come with an opener but an opener can be added at purchase.
  • Can I replace a single panel or section of my door, or do I need to replace the whole door?

    Yes, if it’s a genuine B&D sectional garage door you can replace a single section. Sectional door panels can be replaced if the damage to them is minimal. If the damage has affected a more major component of the door (for example the frame) then you will need to replace the entire door as doors that have bent their frames or fallen off their hinges are usually too dangerous to repair.

    A number of factors are considered when replacing the panel of the door including the age of the door and any upgrades we may have made to the machinery that manufactures our doors. Due to the every day wear and tear of your garage door we can’t guarantee that the new panel will be a perfect colour match as colours tend to fade and lighten in the harsh Australian climate. 

    Likewise if you have a sublimated garage door or a garage door with a woodgrain texture we recommend you purchase all new panels as the colour/grain will likely not be a perfect match.

    If you purchased your B&D door through one of our Accredited B&D Dealers we recommend you contact them first as they will have detailed records of your purchase to ensure a good fit. If you’re not sure give our friendly team a call on 13 62 63.

    If you don’t have a B&D door, we can organise a complimentary consultation to recommend you a new door to help you secure your garage.
