Is The B&D PanelMax Right For You?
The B&D PanelMax is positioned as a secure, reliable automation solution for residential panel and tilt doors up to 16.5m². At $619, the PanelMax is a premium-priced opener from a household name. But when it comes to power, lighting, and value for money, the Auto Openers Panel Ace delivers more for a whole lot less.

The Panel Ace delivers 43% more lifting power, double the lighting, and supports all the same core accessories as the B&D PanelMax — all for $300 less.
It’s built for modern Australian garages, featuring a whisper-quiet belt drive, 3-piece rail for easy transport, and compatibility with popular upgrades like smartphone kits, PE beams, and battery backups. Best of all, Auto Openers backs the unit with a DIY-friendly 5-year warranty, giving homeowners the flexibility and confidence to install themselves.
While the PanelMax focuses heavily on security branding and proprietary features, the Panel Ace keeps it simple, powerful, and affordable without cutting corners where it counts. If you want high-performance automation without the premium markup, the Panel Ace is the clear winner.
B&D PanelMax Garage Door Opener Features
The B&D PanelMax Garage Door Opener is the perfect solution for homeowners with residential tilt or sectional doors up to 18m², offering exceptional reliability and advanced security features. As a direct replacement for the B&D CAD Advance, the PanelMax delivers enhanced performance and superior protection for your home.
- Safe Lock Anti-Tamper System: Featuring proprietary safety technology, the PanelMax motor actively prevents forced entry attempts by locking down the rail and door if tampering is detected. When connected to a Smartphone Kit, you’ll receive instant alerts of any break-in attempts.
- TB-7 Remote Control: Equipped with TriTran+ Enhanced rolling code encryption, the TB-7 remote generates a unique code with every press, ensuring secure access. The rolling code system offers trillions of combinations, preventing unauthorized access via code grabbing.
- Tri-Frequency Transmission: The TB-7 remote transmits across three frequencies, minimizing interference and ensuring your garage door responds every time you press the button.
