Every garage door in Australia is as perfectly unique as its home. The subtle differences in the length, width and height of every home means most doors must be custom made. That’s why Measure & Quotes are industry standard. If you’d like to learn a little more about how much garage doors cost and why, have a read of our pricing article. We’ll give you a ballpark to manage expectations, and tell you everything you need to know to make the right choice for you.

Consider where you garage is in relation to your home’s bedrooms. If there are rooms directly above or beside it, then noise becomes a factor. Our openers and door tracks are meticulously designed to open smoothly and keep noise to a comfortable minimum. We also have the perfect garage insulation solutions to block out any street noise, which is great if you happen to live in a noisy neighbourhood.

If dust, embers and extreme temperatures are a concern for you, we have the perfect solutions to keep your garage sealed and insulated. Or, if you have a door connecting your garage to your home, insulating your garage will help you keep your home’s internal temperature stable. Remember, a B&D garage door can do a lot more than just open and close. We’ll help you figure out exactly what kinds of features you’ll need.

For kids and pets, or even just your car, you’ll need an automatic door you can trust to open & close when it’s meant to. Our infrared wireless safety beams do the trick. If the infra-red beam is interrupted while the garage door is closing, it immediately sends the door back up.

Your home and garage hold all kinds of irreplaceable valuables, that’s why it’s important to pick the right security features for you. Many garage doors don’t lock themselves. Ours do; the B&D Auto-Lock will secure your door and your valuables inside. But what if you head out, and you can’t remember if you closed your garage at all? No problem: not only can you close it with our smartphone app, you can even check if anyone’s accessed it while you’re away.

B&D Doors have been creating iconic garage doors for Australian homes for over 60 years. We’re one of a small handful of companies that manufacture doors and openers specifically designed to work together. That’s what makes our garage doors and motors reliable enough to come with a 10-year warranty, when you buy them together. And if something does go wrong, you won’t get the run around — you’ll be dealing directly with us. We know our products inside out, so we’ll figure out and fix any problems you might have.
