Selecting the best garage door for your home should be a top priority. After all, it's a major entry point into your home, so security is a credible concern. At Freelance Entry Solutions, we supply a range of garage doors that can help enhance your home’s security without compromising on style.

 

 

Garage Door Security Features

Sectional Garage Doors

Sectional garage doors are renowned for their exceptional security and stylish appeal. With double steel skin and 40mm insulated panels, these doors provide excellent levels of protection, especially when combined with electric operators. Additionally, every sectional garage door supplied and installed by Freelance Entry Solutions comes with the 'Secured by Design' certification, ensuring you maximum peace of mind. If you’re seeking both security and style, these doors offer the perfect solution.

Roller Garage Doors

Depending on the type of Roller garage doors you choose, they are a great investment for homeowners who want security and convenience. It's all in the name; they roll up into a compact box above the door, which is perfect for smaller spaces that require a compact solution. Roller garage doors don't have visible hinges or gaps that are easy to force open and they can come with built-in locking mechanisms. For example, the Seceuroglide Excel by SWS is designed with a patent anti-lift locking mechanism and reinforced guides for superior security.

Electric Garage Doors

Electric garage doors eliminate the need for manual operation. An electric garage door is remote-operated, reducing the risk of a break-in while you open your garage. We carry a range of electric garage doors that not only look modern but are equipped with the latest cutting-edge technology, such as being able to check that the garage door is properly shut without having to step outside. They also contain a locking mechanism which ensures the door remains firmly closed, even in the event of a power cut.

Up and Over Garage Doors

The up and over garage door is a classic choice that's ideal for driveways with space as the door swings outwards before heading towards the ceiling. While it may not be as flexible as roller or sectional garage door designs, it can still be secure depending on the model you opt for. Some older models may have an outdated locking mechanism. However, we carry a range of steel doors by Garador, which are engineered in Germany and crafted from crimped and welded panels for supreme strength while being completely compliant with regulations.

Side Hinged Garage Doors

This model is popular in classic and traditional homes as it is well suited to period style properties. New innovations mean that they are now easier to use and more secure than ever before, thanks to high-quality locking mechanisms and tough, reinforced materials. They can also be installed with additional locks and deadbolts. However, if a side hinged garage door is not installed properly, it could make it easier for intruders to enter. Ensure you speak with our experts so they can ensure the optimal security option for your home.

Breaking Down Garage Door Security Myths

• Electric Doors are Safer Than Manual Ones: Electric doors provide innovative security solutions. However, newer models of manual garage doors can also be equipped with enhanced locking mechanisms, which make them more robust than the garage doors of the past.
• Windows Don't Matter: Some garage door models contain windows. However, it's worth ensuring they are reinforced or frosted so potential intruders can't easily see into your garage.
• All Garage Doors are the Same: Not all garage doors are made equal. To ensure yours is robust, talk to one of our experts about your needs and get it installed properly.
