Beam Sensors for Automatic Garage Doors and Gates - Essential Safety Feature

When it comes to automatic garage doors and gates, safety should always be a top priority. One crucial safety feature that is required by Australian regulations is the installation of beam sensors.

According to AS 4145.2:2001 (Automatic Garages and Gates - Installation and Use - Part 2: Safety Requirements), any automatic garage door or gate that closes automatically or remotely must have beam sensors installed. These sensors, often called safety beams or photoelectric sensors, are designed to detect any obstacles i

n the path of the door or gate.

If an obstruction, such as a person, vehicle, or pet, is detected, the system will immediately stop or reverse the door or gate's movement to prevent injury or damage. This simple yet effective safety mechanism helps protect those near the door or gate, ensuring a safer environment for homes and businesses.

At Doncaster Garage & Gate, we always adhere to the latest safety standards and recommend installing beam sensors on all automatic gates and garage doors we work on. It's not only about meeting the legal requirements but also about giving our customers peace of mind knowing their systems are as safe as possible.

If you're considering an upgrade or installation, make sure your automatic garage door or gate includes beam sensors. It's a small investment in safety that can make a big difference.
