The Top 5 Most Useful Accessories for Your Garage Door

Your garage door is so much more than just an entrance to your property.

It also acts as a security barrier, garage space saver and an aesthetically pleasing exterior to your home that can create a lasting impression. 

With this in mind, it’s important your garage door remains in the best condition at all times. 

One great way to enhance the quality of your door is to add a number of useful accessories to it. 

At Rollerdor, we stock a wide range of accessories that can take your garage door to the next level. 

Whether you’re looking to replace old or broken accessories on your door or you want to purchase options that enhance your product, we’re here to help.

In this article, we’ll take a look at the top five most useful garage door accessories.   

Floor Seals

Garage door floor seals offer a wide range of benefits. 

These rubber seals are placed along the bottom of a garage door, forming a barrier that prevents a range of things from getting inside your property. These seals can also act as a form of insulation, keeping cold weather out and maintaining warmth in your property. In turn, this can help save you money on energy bills. Floor seals can also prevent leaves, dust and other kinds of debris from getting into your home. 

Overrides

In the event of a power outage, it’s important you can still access your garage.

Overrides are an important accessory that can be inserted into ports on the outside of garages, allowing you to open them even if you lose power.  

There is a whole variety of overrides available, and the Rollerdor team can help you decide on the option most suitable for you.

End Locks

Garage door end locks are an important accessory for keeping your door in place. Without these locks keeping the door’s curtain in position, roller doors can quite literally come apart. 

The locks are fastened to every other slat to prevent the curtain from sliding around and we provide options for both our RD55 and RD77 products.

Handsets

These days, automated technology is becoming more and more commonplace in garage doors. Often, they can be opened and closed at just a touch of a button, and you can get handsets that allow you to do this. 

These handsets offer greater convenience and ease of use, meaning you won’t need to leave your vehicle when driving in and out of the garage. 

Whether you need replacements or want to upgrade your system, Rollerdor is here to help.

Safety Edge

Garage door safety edges are a handy product that is attached to your garage door’s edges. They are sensors that can detect obstructions, such as people, vehicles or objects, and which will stop the garage door from closing and reopening in order to ensure nothing will become trapped or crushed. 

These are standard a requirement by law for automatic garage doors when operated by a handset.

The basic door comes with a hard wired version of the safety edge but these can be upgraded to a wireless version, wireless with alarm or our Somfy branded wireless system with an alarm and extended warranty.

Servicing

As your garage door is a large moving part of your home, it is recommended to get the door serviced every 12 months just like you would do your boiler or car, at Rollerdor we offer at time of purchase a range of servicing plans. If you decide at a later date that you want to get a service, these are not limited to time of purchase and with a call to the office a service can be arranged by one of our team at any time.
