Tips and tricks for garage doors
HOW TO INCREASE GARAGE DOOR SECURITY!
In many homes and commercial properties, the garage door is complemented by a side door. A matching garage door, such as those offered by Novoferm for many models, increases the value of the house due to its harmonious appearance and increased convenience. The side door also facilitates access to the garage if you want to quickly grab something or park something in the garage.
To ensure the security of your home, in addition to protecting the front door and garage door, you should ensure that the garage door is burglar-proof. This will secure your valuables in the garage and make it more difficult for unwanted visitors to enter.
GARAGE DOORS: A DOOR FOR EVERY DOOR
Modern garage doors are available in various designs:
- Sectional door
- Overhead door
- Roller door
In many cases, a matching side door is provided for the various garage doors. The door allows easy access to retrieve tools, garden equipment, toys or bicycles from the garage. In some properties, the garage is also used as a passage to the house or garden. Here again, a separate or integrated side door offers added convenience.
With a sectional door, the garage door is located to the right or left of the garage door. However, it is also possible to install a sectional door with a swing door or with a two-leaf side door. In the case of an overhead door, the side door is integrated into the overhead door or is located next to the overhead door. In the case of a roller door, a side door with the same appearance ensures a harmonious appearance.
The door is available with inward, outward, right or left hinges. In this way, the side door can be customised to meet all requirements and provides easy access to the garage.
SECTIONAL GARAGE DOOR
The side door of a sectional overhead door is made of high-quality aluminium profiles to ensure the security of your home. The door leaf panels are made of galvanised, double-walled sheet steel and fitted with a PUR rigid foam core.
A triple locking system and integrated fire protection provide additional security and burglary protection for the garage door. In addition to door security, aesthetics also play an important role. This is why the side doors of sectional overhead doors are available in numerous finishes and colours with an end coating.
ELEVATED GARAGE FROM
To ensure that an overhead garage door is burglar-proof, the side doors are made of solid wood or hot-dip galvanised sheet steel. The doors are also available with panels on site and in many different colours. The doors are made of wood, box or bead.
To match the appearance of the garage door, you can choose between vertical and horizontal beads and slats. For side doors with a cassette appearance, you can choose between square, rectangular and vertical cassettes.
GARAGE DOOR
It is also possible to opt for a side door suitable for roller shutters. This is especially important for roller doors in commercial premises where employees want to enter a room quickly.
As with all side doors, a multi-point locking system provides burglary protection for the garage door and security at home or at work.
