What Is Secured by Design?
Secured by Design is the official UK police initiative aimed at reducing crime through improved security standards in buildings and products.
Products that meet these standards are independently tested to ensure they provide effective protection against unauthorised access.
Garolla's Titan electric roller garage door has been granted Secured by Design accreditation, after passing rigorous test standards required by the police.
Secured by Design is the flagship UK police initiative to help 'design out' crime through the use of high-quality, innovative products.
With a slick, minimalist profile, Titan is constructed from tough, twin-walled aluminium slats and polyurethane foam to create an insulated garage door which is known for its strength, security and durability.
Each door is protected with a keyless auto lock system which cannot be lifted manually, and is operated by our state-of-the-art safety and security control system SafeGuard Plus.
By meeting these police-recognised standards Titan adheres to the principles of Secured by Design (when installed as a 'face fit' - find out more about fitting options). The principles behind Secured by Design have been proven to reduce the risk and fear of crime.
Research shows that newly built housing developments constructed to Secured by Design standards are up to 75% less likely to be burgled, while refurbished developments are up to 63% less likely to experience crime.
Alastair Mayne, chief operating officer at Garolla, said that while many homeowners focus on securing their front doors and windows, they often overlook the importance of garage door security.
"Investing in garage door security offers a multitude of benefits for homeowners, including unauthorised access prevention, vehicle protection, and potential home insurance savings. A well-secured garage door acts as a barrier against burglars, safeguarding your home and valuable possessions from unauthorised entry, and is a crucial safeguard against theft and vandalism, offering peace of mind when it comes to the safety of your vehicles.
However, it's clear that not all garage doors are made equal...
"Unless properly reinforced, older garage doors with an ‘up and over’ mechanism can be forced open, making these garages more vulnerable against intruders and the contents susceptible to burglary. Garolla’s electric roller garage doors are made from double-skinned aluminium and insulated with high-density polyurethane for added strength, as well as secure guide rails, auto locks (which ensure the door cannot be lifted manually), and anti-clone remote control technology."

Garage Door Security FAQs
Secured by Design (SBD) is the official police security initiative that promotes products and building standards designed to help reduce crime. Products that achieve Secured by Design accreditation are independently tested to recognised security standards, helping homeowners choose solutions that offer enhanced protection against forced entry.
Research commissioned by police and government bodies has shown that homes built or upgraded to Secured by Design principles can experience significantly lower rates of burglary and attempted break-ins compared with properties that do not follow these standards. While no security product can completely eliminate risk, Secured by Design products are designed to make unauthorised access more difficult and time-consuming.
High-quality roller garage doors can offer excellent security when they are manufactured with robust materials, secure locking systems and anti-lift protection. Unlike some traditional up-and-over garage doors, roller doors have fewer exposed leverage points and roll into a compact housing, helping to reduce potential vulnerabilities. However, security levels vary between products, so it's important to choose a door that has been independently tested to recognised standards.
Garolla's Titan roller garage doors are designed with security as a priority. They feature a reinforced aluminium curtain, anti-lift technology and a secure motorised operating system to help resist forced entry attempts. Titan doors have also achieved Secured by Design accreditation, demonstrating that they have been independently tested against recognised security standards. Combined with professional installation, these features help provide homeowners with confidence that their garage is well protected.
