Garage Door Security for Spooky Season and Beyond

Halloween pumpkins outside a home

Halloween might be here, but sadly, the monsters aren't just confined to horror films. While you’re busy carving pumpkins and decorating your home, there's another kind of creature lurking in the shadows: burglars. As the nights grow longer and darker, the risk of break-ins increases.

Statistics show that burglaries can increase by up to 25% during the autumn and winter months with longer, darker nights providing criminals with more opportunities to operate undetected. This trend is supported by local data from West Midlands Police, who report a seasonal rise in burglaries and car crime.

Your garage door is a prime target for these unwelcome guests. It's a large entry point into your home that can be compromised relatively easily if not equipped with adequate security measures.

At Garolla, your home’s security is our priority. Our electric roller garage doors are built with state-of-the-art features to keep your property safe. From robust construction to advanced security systems, we’ve designed our garage doors to deter intruders and provide you with peace of mind throughout the spooky season and beyond.

Garolla: The Security Standard for Garage Doors

Garolla electric garage doors are renowned for their superior security, setting them apart from many other garage door designs and styles on the UK market.

Here's why Garolla garage doors are the ultimate choice for home security:

Strong Construction

Our garage doors are constructed from high-quality materials, such as twin-walled aluminium and high-density polyurethane. These materials provide exceptional strength and durability, making it extremely difficult for intruders to force their way in.

Auto-Locking System

The auto-locking system automatically secures your garage door once it closes, eliminating the risk of accidental or intentional unlocking. This feature provides added convenience and peace of mind, knowing that your garage door is always locked, even if you forget to do it manually.

Octagonal Barrel Design

Our garage doors are powered by a motor which rotates an octagonal toughened steel barrel. Unlike traditional circular barrels, our octagonal barrel design offers a higher level of resistance to forced entry, providing added protection for your home.

No Manual Locks or Handles

By eliminating manual locks and handles, Garolla garage doors reduce the number of potential entry points for intruders. This means fewer opportunities for unwanted visitors to gain access to your home.

Reinforced Security Slat

The ‘security slat’ that sits at the bottom of your Garolla garage door is made from thicker aluminium, providing added strength and rigidity. This reinforced slat makes it harder for intruders to force open the door from the bottom, a common method used by burglars.

Secure Guide Rails

These sturdy rails guide your Garolla garage door as it opens and closes. They also make it difficult for intruders to force the door open, as they provide a secure fixing against the inner frame of your garage.

Anti-Clone Remote Controls

Our remote controls use rolling code technology, which changes the code with each use. This prevents intruders from cloning your remote and gaining unauthorised access to your garage.

High Strength Components

We only use the highest quality components when building our garage doors. This includes high-strength end locks, strengthened side runners, and other essential components that contribute to the overall security of your Garolla garage door.

Garolla Titan: Secured by Design

While all of our garage doors offer robust security features, the Garolla Titan goes above and beyond, scaring away even the spookiest of intruders.

Garolla’s Titan and Titan Shield Pack upgrade electric roller garage doors have achieved the Secured by Design (SBD) accreditation. This official police security initiative recognises products that meet high standards for crime prevention.

The exceptional design and construction of the Garolla Titan have earned it a place among the elite of home security products.

With Titan, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that your home is protected by a garage door that has been rigorously tested and approved by UK law enforcement.
