Automating an existing door

We’ll measure both your opening and the space around it before confirming the door size. Door width includes overlap, so it differs from the clear opening you drive through. Your chosen finish, wind rating and opener also need to suit the complete installation.

MeasurementWhy it matters
Opening width and heightDetermines the door size, overlap and usable vehicle opening.
HeadroomProvides space for the roller curtain or sectional track, brackets and springs.
Side roomMust accommodate guides, brackets, the selected opener and any lock hardware.
Ceiling depth / backroomNeeded for sectional tracks and the opener rail; check beams, pipework and storage.
Floor and supporting structureSlope can affect the bottom detail; the lintel and side supports must suit the installation.

We assess the door’s condition and balance before fitting a motor. Manual locks need the treatment specified in the installation instructions so the motor cannot drive against a locked door. The opener is not a remedy for damaged tracks, broken springs or an excessive manual operating force.

Understand the different protection features

Automatic Reverse responds to the configured obstruction force. Safety Beams detect interruption across their aligned beam path. AUTO LOCK adds physical locking on compatible systems. These perform different jobs; none removes the need to keep the opening clear and maintain the complete installation.

Compare inclusions and cover

Warranty cover follows the model and application. Our eligible residential Total Confidence package requires a matching B&D door and opener purchased in the same transaction, installation by B&D or a B&D Representative, registration and the specified servicing. The time or cycle limit ends cover when either is reached first. Springs, seals, lifting cables and opener accessories have separate component terms.

Read the model-specific warranty guide and keep your purchase, installation and service records.

The package should identify the opener model/version, rail or mounting hardware, supplied controls, beam kit, lock, hub and battery backup. Find your operating guide before changing settings.
