Is Installing a DIY Garage Door Safe?

Roller garage doors provide a property with a wide range of great benefits. 

Looking to save more space at the front of your garage? Roller garage doors are the way to go.

Maybe you want a garage door that provides sleek and sophisticated operation that enhances the appearance of your home? If so, roller garage doors have you covered.

Another priority among consumers is safety. 

It’s likely that you’ll want to be assured that your garage door provides your home with a secure barrier that prevents any thieves or intruders from entering. 

With this in mind, in this article, the team here at Rollerdor will consider DIY garage door safety, outlining everything you need to know about these products. 

Is installing a DIY garage door safe?

Yes, if you’re installing a DIY roller garage door, it is certainly safe to do so as long as you’re purchasing the product from a reputable manufacturer. At Rollerdor, we’ve earned a reputation for being one of the most reliable and trustworthy garage door companies in the UK, providing our products to customers across the nation.

All of our DIY roller garage door products are manufactured by our professional team of experts, so you can rest assured that you’re receiving quality every time. 

Some of the unique features of roller garage doors that increase the safety of your home include:

• Robust materials – Perhaps the best indication that roller garage doors can keep your property safe is the fact they’re made from extremely robust materials. Here at Rollerdor, our products are made from the finest materials, including premium aluminium to provide them with a solid base and strong slats.

• No handle – Roller garage doors are handleless and are instead operated by remote controls, working on a rolling code operation, or secure key switches. This means that there are no physical locks on the door itself that can be picked.

• No visible entry point – Some garage door designs have obvious weak points or areas where entry can be forced. But this isn’t the case with roller garage doors. Not only does this make it a lot more challenging for a thief, but as it looks more difficult to break into, this alone can also act as a deterrent. 

• Anti-lift design – Many roller garage doors come with an anti-lift design which means they cannot simply be lifted open. Optional extras include a system with a built in anti lift alarm.
