Thinking of investing in automated garage doors?
Now, more than ever, we are noticing a rise in the number of people who are concerned about the safety and security of both themselves and their personal or business property.
In this blog, we will explore how automated garage doors can add value to your home (or place of work) and provide you with much-needed protection from would-be thieves.
What Are Automated Garage Doors?
Automated garage doors, sometimes referred to as electric garage doors, allow your garage to be unlocked from the safety of your car without the need to manually open it with a set of keys. This is achieved through the use of an electric motor, control system and a special mechanism that works in tandem with the electric motor.
What Are Their Benefits?
As previously mentioned, one of the benefits of automated garage doors is how they enable you to open your garage without leaving your vehicle. Not only is this more convenient than having to unlock it manually, it can also help you to avoid getting wet in unpleasant weather conditions.
A further advantage here is an added element of security, with mechanical latch locking, code encryption and in-built alarm systems essential parts of most leading automated garage door products.
Methods of entry can be customised too, as many systems offer a selection of door controls tailored to your preferences. These include keypads, smartphones, remote controls and fingerprint recognition panels.
Can My Existing Garage Doors Be Upgraded?
In many instances, a manually operated garage door can be easily upgraded for added convenience and security. All of the garage door models carried by Doorfit can be fitted with electric motors and we offer a professional fitting service through our network of trusted installers.
