Tips & tricks for garage doors
HOW YOU CAN INCREASE THE SECURITY OF YOUR GARAGE DOOR!
In many houses 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 thanks to its harmonious appearance and greater convenience. The side door also makes it easier to access the garage if you just want to quickly pick up something or park something in the garage.
To guarantee the security of your home, in addition to protecting the entrance door and garage door, you should also 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 the building.
GARAGE DOORS - A DOOR FOR EVERY DOOR
Modern garage doors are available in various designs:
- Sectional door
- Up-and-over door
- Roller door
In many cases, you will receive a matching side door for the various garage doors. The door allows easy access to retrieve items such as tools, garden equipment, toys or bicycles from the garage. In some properties, the garage is also used as a passageway into the house or garden. Here too, a separate or integrated side door offers greater 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 wicket door or with a double-leaf side door. With an up-and-over door, the side door is integrated into the up-and-over door or is located next to the up-and-over door. In the case of a roller shutter door, a side door with the same appearance ensures a harmonious look.
The door is available with inward, outward, right or left hinges. This allows the side door to be customised to suit all requirements and enables easy access to the garage.
SECTIONAL GARAGE DOOR
The side door of a sectional door is made of high-quality aluminium profiles to guarantee the security of your home. The door leaf panels are made of double-walled galvanised 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 the security of the door, appearance also plays an important role. This is why the side doors for sectional doors are available in numerous finishes and colours with a final coating.
UP-AND-OVER GARAGE DOOR
To ensure that the garage door for an up-and-over door is burglar-proof, the side doors are made of solid wood or hot-dip galvanised sheet steel. The doors are also available with on-site panels and in many different colours. The doors are made of wood, in a cassette look or in a beaded look.
To match the look of the garage door, you can choose between vertical and horizontal beading and louvres. For the side doors with a cassette look, you can choose between square, rectangular and vertical cassettes.
GARAGE DOOR ROLLER SHUTTER
You can also opt for a suitable side door for roller shutters. This is particularly important for roller shutter 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.
HOW YOU CAN OPTIMISE YOUR GARAGE DOOR SECURITY
With simple measures, you can provide more security and increase the burglary protection of the garage door. Here is a summary of the most important tips for protecting your home and garage:
