It’s that time of year again where it starts to get dark outside at 4pm. Darker days can be worrying for many people in terms of the security of their homes. We understand that people want to feel safe in their properties no matter what the conditions are like on the outside. Our doors have many different benefits, including offering an extra bit of security to your home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What do you keep in your garage? A car, gym experiment, or an overflow of things from the house? Whatever it is, you want it to be safe. Take a look at our garage doors and how they can give your home extra protection in the darker months.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Security Features Of Sectional Garage Doors<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Sectional<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rollers, which are captured in steel channels, form multi-point resistance in sectional garage doors, helping to prevent forced entry into your home. To add a greater element of security, a <\/span>H\u00f6rmann SupraMatic <\/b><\/a>electric operator offers increased locking functions. This can help you achieve a<\/span> secured by design accreditation<\/b><\/a>, which is a police security initiative, for your garage doors. With great insulation, sectional garage doors benefit your home especially if you have converted your garage into a home office. These doors are also weather resistant, protecting what’s inside your garage from any expensive damage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Insulated Side Hinged Garage Doors<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Insulated<\/p>\n

Side hinged garage doors are made from sturdy materials. Only a section of this type of garage door opens, protecting the contents of your outside space from prying eyes. Like sectional garage doors, our side hinged garage doors can be insulated, allowing you to use the space for more than just storage. Not only are side hinged garage doors made of high quality sturdy materials (timber and steel), but they are also extremely stylish. They are also easy to install and maintain, which is especially useful when it is cold and dark outside. Our side hinged garage doors come in a <\/span>variety of designs<\/span><\/a>, so you\u2019ll be sure to find one that is perfect for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Safety Features Of Roller Shutter Garage Doors<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Roller<\/p>\n

Roller shutter garage doors<\/span><\/a> open vertically, helping you save space inside and outside your garage. Here at Doorfit, we provide a range of high-quality fully insulated aluminium roller shutter doors. Roller shutter doors are automated as standard with industry leading motors to ensure that their reliability is never compromised. Our roller shutter doors are no different and are equipped with Rollixo RTS to add an extra security feature to your garage door. This system alerts you with the sound of an alarm when someone is trying to lift your door manually, giving you peace of mind that your home is safe even when it is dark outside.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Durable Up And Over Garage Doors<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Up<\/p>\n

Up and over garage doors are popular with many homeowners. Constructed from strong and durable materials, they are made to last a lifetime. Darker months come with bad weather, so a strong garage door is essential. Two point locking comes as standard although a four point system is available. We store many high value items in our garages, including our cars, so keeping them safe from harsh weather conditions is crucial. Up and over garage doors come in a variety of designs and colours, so you will be sure to find something to suit the aesthetic of your home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our Entrance Doors<\/span><\/h2>\n

Your entrance door is the first point of contact with your house, so you want it to be secure to keep you and your family safe. All of our entrance doors are break-in resistant and have multiple point locking. We also provide the option to upgrade to RC4 on our aluminium entrance doors and RC2 security equipment on our steel entrance doors.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not only is it getting darker sooner, it is also getting colder. Our entrance doors offer thermal insulation to help keep your home that little bit warmer. These doors also come with the option to add safety glazing, helping you protect your home against theft.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
