Automated Garage Doors

The addition of an electronic motor to your garage door will allow you to open and close it at the touch of a button, often from more comfortable locations such as the inside of your vehicle. Nobody likes the prospect of getting out of the car on a dark, rainy night and thanks to an easy-to-use handheld device this will no longer be a concern. Electric garage doors are also useful for those with mobility issues and reduce the need to try and manouevre larger doors. Being able to open the garage door from the safety of your car and shut the door behind you also has an obvious security advantage. 

At Doorfit, our entire range of garage doors can be automated, which means that you can choose the perfect style and colour for your requirements. Our electric motors and mechanisms are remote control activated too, with reliable signals and extended operating distances giving you full control over how and when your garage opens and closes. Our automated models, which include everything from classic up and over designs to secure electric roller garage doors, are unparalleled in their ability to provide instant access to your outside building, with smartphone, tablet and fingerprint control options all available for added convenience.  

In addition to reducing garage opening time, garage door automation also reduces the likelihood of break-ins. 128-bit encryption and automatic latch locking come as standard with Garador and Hörmann remote-controlled electric operators, so you’ll always have the right equipment in place to stop would-be burglars from making off with your possessions. 

For additional peace of mind, integral manual override systems are included alongside our electric operators to allow doors to be opened in the event of a power failure. These mechanisms are strong enough to withstand break-in attempts and can be added to all types of garage opening, from side-hinged and roller shutter designs to sectional garage doors.  

Thanks to rigorous testing and innovative designs, all of our electric garage doors are guaranteed and require very little maintenance, although we would still recommend that the door and automation are serviced on a yearly basis, this is of course something we can arrange. Additionally, all of our units come as standard with a safety mechanism built in, which means the door will normally stop or reverse if it meets an obstruction.  

Whether retrofitted to an existing garage door or installed from scratch, electric operators are perfect for creating a much safer, more convenient environment for you and your family. As an added bonus, many customers will also see the value of their homes increase as a result of installing automatic garage doors, which makes such models a sound investment if you’re eventually planning to move on.
