With an extensive range of garage accessories, specifically designed to enhance your current set-up, and as the exclusive supplier of B&D doors, C&M are here to help pimp your garage, with some of our favourite accessories. If one takes your fancy, or you’d like more information about any of them, give us a call today, or we can come to you with our mobile showroom.

Insulation: With the extreme weather conditions we have in Australia year-round, insulating your garage can actually affect the temperature of your house, keeping it up to 20 degrees cooler in the summer and 10 degrees warmer in winter.  With ever-increasing electricity prices, insulating your garage is a cost-effective way, to not only reduce energy consumption, but also reduce outside noise.

Control-a-door smart: This enables complete security with a ‘Safe Lock’ anti-tamper system, meaning if an intruder attempts to break in, the garage will lock itself. The B&D app also gives you real time updates, plus you can open or shut the garage at anytime, anywhere. The app features voice control and customisation to add or remove users, so no-one else can tamper with it, leaving you with peace of mind and heightened security.

Other than the control-a-door smart having a high degree of anti-theft, it also has in-built safety features, such as an automatic reverse sensor that detects when something is obstructing the garage door, for example, a child or pet. If something is detected, it will then reverse and open, avoiding the obstruction. For an additional sleek and modern finish, you could also pair your smart garage door opener with a sectional pane lift garage.

Control-a-door secure: Like the control-a-door smart, this garage feature locks the garage if an intruder is detected, illuminating it to alert others and acting as a deterrent to potential break-ins. If you install a control-a-door secure, you’ll also be given two B&D Tri-Tran+ remotes. This cutting-edge technology enables only your approved remote to open your garage door, therefore preventing anyone else accessing your home. It also prevents encryption and potential hacking, as it transmits through three different frequencies.

Remotes: Have you recently lost or broken your garage remote? Has one of the kids dropped it in the toilet, or thrown it out of a moving car? However it happened, we can assist. Able to either replace, or assist you in choosing the ideal remote for your garage door needs, C&M are here to help .

C&M Garage Doors is committed to simplifying your life and keeping your garage secure, by offering garage door accessories designed for convenience and security. Contact us today to explore the possibilities of improving your garage experience.

What is the Difference between Sectional and Roller Doors?

Have you ever wondered about the difference between sectional and roller doors? Well, wonder no more! Here at C&M Garage Doors, we’re here to break it down for you.

First off, let’s talk about sectional doors. These doors are made up of several sections or panels that are hinged together. They open vertically and then slide back into the garage ceiling, allowing for more space in the driveway. They come in various styles and materials, from steel to timber to aluminium, and can be customized to fit your specific needs and aesthetic preferences.

On the other hand, roller doors are made up of a single sheet of steel that rolls up into a barrel located above the door. They’re also available in a range of colours and finishes and are often chosen for their space-saving design and easy operation.

So, which one is better? It all depends on your individual needs and preferences. Here are a few things to consider:

  • Space: If you’re tight on space in your driveway or garage, a roller door might be your best option. It doesn’t require as much overhead room as a sectional door.
  • Security: Both sectional and roller doors are secure options for your garage, but sectional doors tend to be more robust and offer more protection against break-ins.
  • Maintenance: Both doors can require some maintenance after a while, but roller doors tend to be simpler to maintain since they have fewer moving parts. Regular lubrication and cleaning will help keep your door in good working order.

At C&M Garage Doors, we offer both types of doors, as well as a wide range of other garage door solutions. We’re proud to be a leading supplier of B&D roller garage doors in Ballina and the surrounding areas. We offer a mobile showroom that comes right to your door, so you can see our products in person and get a better sense of what will work best for your home.

We also offer a free garage door measure and quote service, so you can get an accurate idea of your project’s cost before you commit. Our team of experts can handle every aspect of your roller door installation from start to finish, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

Of course, once your roller door is installed, it’s essential to keep up with regular maintenance to ensure it stays in good condition. Our team offers B&D roller door maintenance services to keep your door functioning correctly and to catch any potential issues before they become significant problems.

So, whether you’re in the market for a sectional door or a roller door, C&M Garage Doors has you covered. We’re here to help you choose the best option for your needs and budget and to provide you with top-notch installation and maintenance services.

Why You Should Consider a Smart Roller Door: A Guide to Custom Roller Doors

Roller doors have been a popular choice for homeowners for many years. They provide easy access to the garage, while also offering protection and security for your vehicles and belongings. However, with advances in technology, roller doors are becoming smarter and more convenient than ever before. In this article, we’ll explore why you should consider a smart roller door, and how custom roller doors can enhance your home.

What is a Smart Roller Door?

A roller door is a type of garage door that opens vertically and rolls up around a drum. A smart roller door is a roller door that is equipped with advanced technology, such as remote operation, sensors, and automatic opening and closing features. These features allow for greater convenience, security, and safety for homeowners.

Do I Need a Smart Roller Door?

There are several reasons why you should consider investing in a smart roller door for your home. One of the main benefits is convenience. With a smart roller door, you can open and close the door remotely using a smartphone app, eliminating the need for physical keys or remotes. This feature is especially useful when you need to let someone in or out of the garage, but you’re not at home.

Another benefit of smart roller doors is security. With the ability to monitor your garage door remotely, you can ensure that your garage is always secure. Some smart roller doors come with built-in sensors that can detect when someone is trying to enter your garage without your permission and send you an alert. This feature can give you peace of mind when you’re away from home.

Smart roller doors also offer safety benefits. For example, some models come with built-in sensors that can detect if there is an obstruction in the door’s path, preventing the door from closing and potentially causing damage or injury. Additionally, some smart roller doors can automatically close after a set period, reducing the risk of leaving your garage door open.

One of our favourite applications is when the garage door is clad in the same material as the building’s exterior wall. As the door starts to close, it disappears before your eyes. Its unique design and flush façade is hard to beat when it comes to curb-side appeal. If you’re going to make a statement, the Flush Mount system is the way to go.

Custom Roller Doors

At C&M Garage Doors, we offer custom roller doors that can be tailored to your specific needs and preferences. Our custom roller doors are made from high-quality materials, and can be designed to match your home’s style and color scheme. We offer a wide range of options, including different sizes, colours, and finishes, as well as additional features such as insulation and security upgrades.

A smart roller door can offer many benefits for homeowners, including convenience, security, and safety. If you’re considering investing in a roller door, a smart roller door is definitely worth considering. Additionally, custom roller doors can be tailored to your specific needs and preferences, ensuring that your garage door perfectly complements your home’s style and functionality.

In 2015 we moved to our state-of-the-art showroom, located just 15 minutes from Lennox Head at 7 Stinson Street, Ballina Industrial Estate. This allowed us the space to become a dedicated service centre, depot and central hub for the entire Northern Rivers region.

Garage Doors in Lennox Head

If you have driven around Lennox Head lately picking out your dream home, chances are you would have come across some of our handy work. Being a coastal town, the houses are exposed to harsh elements and salt air, this means we are often hard at work restoring older homes or helping clients choose the highest quality products to make sure they get the most out of their garage doors.

Customer Garage Doors

Signature custom frame installed with the help of Hurf Build Design and Construct

We love when our customers come to us with ideas that are out of the ordinary and present us with unique challenges. This client opted for an aged wood cladding and wanted a door that would provide modern functionality and security but could also provide that aged, lived in look to suit the exterior of their home. For this particular job we installed a signature B&D Panelift frame that was finished with horizontal cladding by local builder, Hurf Build Design and Construct. The door not only fit perfectly into the client’s design brief but also provided them with strong, safe and reliable operation covered by a minimum of 3 years warranty.

The Flush Mount system is part of B&D’s Designer Door range for a reason.

B&D Grange Door in Dover White with Stockton Windows

These clients opted for a B&D Panelift Grange door with the Stockton window option to suite the coastal aesthetic of their home. They chose the popular B&D exclusive Colorbond tone Dover White that adds just enough depth as a mid-tone white to blend perfectly with coastal and Hamptons style homes.

B&D Sectional Garage Door – Nullarbor Panelift Door in Ironstone

A B&D sectional garage door was chosen by these Lennox Head clients in the Colorbond shade Ironstone. They opted for Nullarbor Woodgrain Textured Panelift door, adding a natural texture to offset the iron cladding on their home. The distinctive flat panels of B&D Panelift doors deliver a minimalist modern look that boast street appeal. These dark colours like Ironstone really pop when contrasted against lush green landscaping or paired with raw timber tones.

Danmar Garage Doors are another high quailty range offered through C&M Garage Doors. They provide custom doors that are excellent value for money and allow you the freedom to design and express the individuality of your home at a price that suits your budget.

This client opted to customise their doors with fixed glass panes instead of the standard louvers and a cross beam design to suit their desired aesthetic.

The Flush Mount System

Over the last 12 months, B&D’s Flush Mount system has become increasingly popular with our clients throughout the Northern Rivers. As a feature of the Designer Door series, the Flush Mount system is unique, innovative and architecturally significant.

What is a Flush Mount system?

The Flush Mount system mounts a garage door to the outside of a building’s exterior in a way so that the door sits flush with the exterior wall. Your regular garage door is set back into the garage space a little, a Flush Mount garage door uses special hinges and fittings, so that it becomes part of the exterior wall it is fixed to. These doors can be clad with the building’s exterior material so that they appear to be part of the wall, or not even there at all. Often, our clients choose the Flush Mount system to achieve this on-trend ‘hidden-garage-door’ look. 

WATCH THE GARAGE DOOR DISAPPEAR

The Flush Mount system can only be applied to sectional garage doors. Sectional doors are broken into 4-5 panels that allow the door to bend and follow the curved path when opening and closing. The panels are stored along the ceiling on the garage, and can compromise the height and space of the room. It’s only minor, but it’s something to keep in mind, especially if you have a big car. Unfortunately, the Flush Mount System cannot be applied to a roller door (at this point in time).

Why we love the Flush Mount system

The Flush Mount system is part of B&D’s Designer Door range for a reason. It exudes architectural design, modernism and individuality. Homeowners choose this garage door system for its visual impact and because it seamlessly integrates to the front of a building (commercial or residential), it’s only noticeable when the door actually starts to open.

Curious about the specific benefits of choosing a flush-mount system for your home?

One of our favourite applications is when the garage door is clad in the same material as the building’s exterior wall. As the door starts to close, it disappears before your eyes. It’s unique design and flush façade is hard to beat when it comes to curb-side appeal. If you’re going to make a statement, the Flush Mount system is the way to go.

MORE ABOUT FLUSH MOUNT SYSTEMS

The aesthetic of the Flush Mount system has wow-factor, however there are functional benefits that worth mentioning. Being a B&D garage door, Flush Mount doors come with all the promises of the brand; quality, reliability, longevity, safety and security. On top of that, the Flush Mount system is effortless and quiet in operation.

Design options

The Flush Mount system is available in many different design and material options. In fact, because it’s a system, there are a very wide range of material, colour and profile designs to choose from.  All garage doors in the B&D Designer Door range can be fitted with the Flush Mount system, including Prodema Prodex, the slatted collection and the sheer panel collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What is a flush mount garage door?
    A flush mount garage door is a garage door that sits completely flush with the exterior wall of your home, rather than being set back into the garage opening. Special hinges and fittings allow the door to become part of the wall itself, creating a seamless, almost invisible look when closed.

  2. How does a garage door sit flush with the exterior wall?
    A flush mounted garage door uses a specific hinge and fitting system that allows the door panels to align perfectly with the building’s exterior cladding. The door can even be clad in the same material as the surrounding wall, so it blends in completely and is only noticeable once it starts to open.

  3. What’s the difference between a flush garage door and a regular garage door?
    A regular garage door is set back into the garage space, with visible tracks and a recessed appearance. A flush garage door, by contrast, sits level with the exterior wall with no recess, giving it a cleaner, more architectural look.

  4. Can any garage door be converted into a flush mount system?
    No the flush mount system can only be applied to sectional garage doors, which open in 4-5 panels along a curved track. It cannot currently be applied to roller doors or roller shutters.

  5. Is a flush mount sectional garage door available in different materials and colours?
    Yes. As part of B&D’s Designer Door range, flush mount sectional garage doors are available in a wide range of materials, colours, and profile designs including the Prodema Prodex and slatted collection, so you can match it to your home’s exterior.

  6. Are flush mounted garage doors only for modern homes?
    Not necessarily. While flush mount systems are popular for their sleek, modern appearance, they can complement a range of architectural styles, especially when clad in a material that matches the existing facade.
