Automatic Garage Doors

Automate your garage door for easy access

Having automated doors on the garage of a property whether it be commercial or domestic can be a real advantage in many ways and as technology develops, many are making the change and switching to automated garage doors. Automatic doors can be installed in a range of styles, colours and finishes, so whatever the style of the home or the location of the business premises and security requirements there should be a garage door suitable for every client.

One of the main reasons why someone might choose to automate their garage door is convenience.

When it is raining or very windy there is nothing worse than having to get out of your car to manually open a garage door. The beauty of automatic garage doors is that it eliminates this problem. The householder or company employee can sit in the warmth of their car, press a button on the remote control or on a keypad and wait while the garage door opens without assistance then simply drive in and park. Some doors enable you to operate them from quite a distance, so the doors stand open and ready for the exact moment the car arrives. This saves time and makes the process of parking as easy as possible.

Another major advantage of having automated garage doors is the security aspect of them. Parking your car in a garage decreases the chance of it getting stolen considerably and automatic garage doors are a lot safer than the same type of door but a manual opening model. As they are controlled by a remote or other type of device to open and shut automatically, this removes the worry of accidentally leaving the doors open or unlocked. Most models have a mechanism that allows the door to be locked and unlocked remotely. Automatic garage doors are also harder to break into. They do not have the usual locks which may be able to be picked or have windows that could be broken to gain access, meaning it would be a lot harder for a burglar to try and get in. The remote control is usually the only method to get access from the outside and get the door to open.

Should you live or have business premises in an area deemed to be at high risk of break ins, having automatic doors will mean that people feel safer when arriving home at night or arriving at work early in the morning, as there is no need to leave the vehicle until are safely inside the premises.
