Electric roller garage doors are effortlessly convenient, giving homeowners access to their garage with the simple touch of a button - there's none of the heavy lifting associated with up and over doors, or moving a car off the driveway as you might have to with a side-hinged door.
However, one of the most common questions is around whether roller garage doors are safe or not.
While we would always advise homeowners to check that their garage opening is clear before closing their door, and to watch for any obstructions until their door is safely closed, we've introduced some industry-leading technology to give you added peace of mind.
SafeGuard Plus is our industry-leading safety mechanism that comes as standard with our Transform Pro and Titan garage doors, along with the Titan Shield Pack upgrade. It can also be added to our Transform door.
It features an obstacle detection motor, neatly hidden away inside the top box for a clean finish, which instantly rebounds the door upwards should it accidentally come into contact with an obstruction, helping to keep people, pets and your possessions safe.
SafeGuard Plus can also be added to with the Garolla Comfort Pack for ultimate safety and peace of mind. This includes the addition of infra red beams for contactless safety (where the door rebounds before an obstruction is made contact with), a loud siren alarm and a control unit with courtesy light. Visit our SafeGuard Plus page to find out more.
How does SafeGuard Plus work?
SafeGuard Plus features an obstacle detection motor which reverses a closing garage door with industry-leading response times if an obstruction is accidentally made contact with.
This integrated technology leaves a cleaner, neater finish inside your garage and gives you peace of mind when it comes to the safety of your electric garage door.
The motor is still operated by a one-touch remote control fob, which utilises rolling code technology to prevent cloning by criminals.
Why choose a roller door with SafeGuard Plus?
SafeGuard Plus is safe, convenient and secure. Not only does it help to keep people, pets and possessions safe from the closing door, but if you upgrade to the Garolla Comfort Pack then the system also features infra red beams for contactless safety, a loud siren alarm and a control unit with a courtesy light.
Finally, SafeGuard Plus is quick and easy for your local Garolla engineer to install. No mess, no fuss.
