When we think about home security, we often focus on front doors, windows, and alarms — but the garage is just as important. In fact, for many homes, the garage is one of the largest entry points, and if it’s not properly secured, it can become an easy target for intruders.
At Warwickshire Garage Door Centre, we believe your garage door should do more than just look good — it should provide real peace of mind. That’s why we proudly supply a range of doors from trusted manufacturers like Hörmann and Garador, who take security as seriously as you do.
What is Secured by Design (SBD)?
Secured by Design is a UK police initiative that promotes products meeting high standards of security and crime prevention. If a garage door is SBD approved, it means it’s been tested to withstand common burglary techniques and is officially recognised for helping keep your home safer.
Choosing a door with the SBD accreditation isn’t just a smart move — it could also help reduce your home insurance premiums.
Hörmann Sectional Garage Doors (LPU42 & LPU67)
Hörmann’s range of sectional garage doors isn’t just about sleek design and smooth operation — they’re built with security in mind. Many of their models meet Secured by Design standards.
Benefits include:
- Secure automation options with BiSecur radio technology
- Excellent insulation and strong steel panel construction
- Tamper-resistant tracks and locking
Perfect if your garage is integral to your home or used as a workspace, gym, or storage for high-value items.
Garador Guardian Range
The Garador Guardian Range is in a league of its own when it comes to security-focused up-and-over garage doors. Specially engineered to meet Secured by Design requirements, this range includes:
- Reinforced steel plates to protect key areas
- High-security bracing and locking bars
- Anti-snap cylinder locks
- Upgraded steel subframes for additional strength
This makes the Guardian range one of the most secure garage door options on the market for traditional up-and-over style.
Peace of Mind, Built In
Whether your garage is used for parking, storage, or as an extra living space, securing it properly should be a priority. A weak or outdated door can be a major vulnerability — but with SBD-approved options, you can dramatically reduce the risk.
