Choosing a Secure Garage Door

Finding the right garage door can be tricky. You want it to look good but it has to be secure and easy to operate too. Here’s a few things to keep in mind:

Accreditation: Look for a garage door with Secured by Design accreditation for extra peace of mind.
Material & Design: A strong, well-designed door looks great and also adds an extra layer of protection.
Professional Installation: A properly measured and expertly installed door will work smoothly and help keep your home secure.

These considerations will help you choose a garage door that’s both stylish and safe and give you peace of mind.

The Secured by Design accreditation scheme sets stringent standards for products and services aimed at deterring or preventing crime. Products with Secured by Design accreditation conform to set security protocols and have police-preferred specifications. For garage doors, achieving Secured by Design accreditation means meeting rigorous security criteria established by independent certification bodies recognised by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS).
