Top Features of Garage Doors
Solid Construction
The first feature to consider when choosing a modern garage door is its construction. Look for doors that are made from durable materials such as steel or aluminium. These materials are strong and resistant to forced entry, providing an added layer of security for your garage.
We offer a wide range of garage doors made from high-quality materials. Our doors are designed to withstand the toughest conditions and provide maximum security for your home. Whether it’s the high density core of our entrance doors or the galvanised steel of our roller garage doors, feel confident that you can benefit from outstanding protection.
Outstanding Insulation
Advanced technology in our garage doors has made our designs more energy efficient and secure. Insulation technologies help maintain temperature control throughout the year. Our Side-Hinged Doors open out at the side, which helps enhance your home’s visual appeal. But they are also a great way to bolster your security and insulation.
We offer our roller garage doors, which are constructed using aluminium. The interlocking slats could make them tough for intruders to break into, and aluminium is resistant to corrosion.
High Quality Locking Mechanisms
A secure garage door should come with high-quality mechanisms to keep your possessions and your loved ones safe. Our garage doors are built with multi-point locking mechanisms as standard, which are fitted along its track to help keep intruders out. Multi point locking systems are vital as they help prevent any weak link from being exploited.
Consider deadbolt locks, which could offer high resistance to forced entry attempts. Our roller garage doors are available with Secured by Design accredited protection. This is a police-backed initiative that ensures every home is safe to live in.
Security Lighting
Security lighting is an effective deterrent against intruders. Look for garage doors that have built-in security lighting or the option to add external security lights. Well-lit areas around your garage can discourage potential burglars and make your home less attractive as a target.
At The Garage Door Company, our entrance doors come with built-in security lighting options. Our doors are designed to provide maximum visibility and security for your home, even during the darkest hours of the night.
Remote Control Access
Remote control access is a convenient feature that enhances security for your garage. With remote control access, you can open and close your garage door from the comfort of your car, eliminating the need to open and close the door manually. This reduces the risk of leaving your garage door open and vulnerable to intruders.
Incorporating Smart remote control technology can help you control and monitor your door remotely through a smartphone app. As a result, you can open or close the door from anywhere, making sure it is never left open by accident.
