One thing that many home owners wonder when considering switching to an electric garage door, is whether or not it is safe and secure. Electric garage doors are an incredible convenience but can be a bit on the pricey side. They can range between £1,000 (without installation), all the way up to £20,000 for a top of the range electric garage door, so you want to ensure that your choice is going to be safe and secure.

To ensure that you are purchasing a garage door that is up to UK safety standards, be sure that the door is marked CE. Even with this rating, the system will need to be installed correctly for everything to operate as it should, so having it professionally fitted is the wisest choice.

When looking for an electric garage door that will be up to the police security criteria, ensure that the door is a Secured By Design accredited model. This means this type of door has undergone testing to ensure it has a high level of security.

Electric garage doors can be very safe and secure, as long as you know what standards you should be looking for.
