Summer is upon us, and with that, hundreds of thousands of Brits eagerly anticipate their well-earned holidays, ready to escape to destinations filled with sun, sea, and sand. However, for many homeowners and car owners, the excitement of a holiday can be overshadowed by security concerns.
Leaving your home and vehicle unattended for an extended period can be stressful, but with Garolla garage doors, you can protect your pride and joy and enjoy your time away with peace of mind.
Why Garage Door Security Matters
Your garage is more than just a place to park your car; it's an essential barrier that enhances the security of your entire home. There were 106,000 incidents of vehicle theft in the UK in the year ending September 2023, compared with 72,000 in the year ending September 2022, according to ONS.
From the busy streets of metropolitan cities to the sleepy lanes of rural communities, no corner of the country is untouched by the threat of car theft, highlighting the importance of proactive measures - especially when you’re on holiday!
Invest in Robust Manufacturing
One of the key components of our electric garage doors is the robust guide rails. These rails play a key part in garage door security as they are fixed directly to the wall of your garage opening and remove any gaps which could be used to pry the door open.
The sturdy, fixed guide rails guarantee a straight and secure close, meaning that even with significant force, breaching the door through prying or lifting is exceptionally challenging.
Our garage doors are also constructed from tough, twin-walled aluminium slats combined with high-density polyurethane. This robust construction ensures exceptional durability and resistance to forced entry, providing a solid barrier against intruders and vehicle theft.
Automatic Garage Lock Mechanism for Pre-Holiday Peace of Mind
Ever left for your holiday only to worry that you forgot to lock the doors? As far as your garage door is concerned, those worries are a thing of the past. Leading modern roller garage doors feature an auto-lock mechanism that engages once the door closes. This means your garage door is securely locked without any manual intervention, providing enhanced security and peace of mind even if you forget to lock it yourself.
