High Security Garage Doors for Prime Residential Properties

High security garage doors protect some of the most valuable assets owned by our clients’ luxury properties and estates and it is essential that they are secured to the correct level of security.

If you are a collector of expensive vehicles, antique or elite cars or antique goods, then it’s of paramount importance that you ensure you have high security garage doors as protection for these possessions.

When incorporated into the main property, or part of another entrance/exit to the property, it is crucial that the garage door security at the very least matches the security of the main property. This can only be properly executed with a high-security residential garage door.

Why is a High Security Garage Door important for Prime Residential Homes?

Unfortunately, garage security is often reduced in favour of aesthetics, and the link to the main property is not sufficiently secured in lieu.

Likewise, standalone garages are often incorrectly treated at a separate security level to the main property.

This is clearly an issue, as out-houses and garages are more vulnerable to attack due to their relative isolation. and also often contain high-value vehicles or leisure equipment.

For this reason, it is important to have independently certified security products on the garage to mitigate against attack.

The Equilux High Security Garage Door has been specifically designed for this purpose, and intelligently combines aesthetics with security, meaning neither has to be compromised.

Security Ratings

Equilux high security garage doors are designed to complement the design of luxury properties whilst still providing the necessary security requirements.

Independently tested and certified by the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB) all Equilux garage doors are security rated to LPS 1175, Issue 7, SR2 and Secured by Design as standard, with higher security ratings and bespoke resistance available.

The SR3 security rating is designed to resist more experienced attackers and with a wider range of hand and power tools.

LockDown Security System

Incorporating the LockDown security system, our garage door cannot be lifted by force yet does not require any form of secondary locking, ensuring ease of user operation.

The LockDown system ensures security cannot be compromised by incomplete closure, and also completely removes the need for unsightly ground bolts.

Garage Security Door Finishes

Finishes are offered in a wide range of polyester powder coat colours or anodised to provide an aesthetic shutter that does not detract from the property.

Likewise, the shutter curtain style is designed to suit the domestic environment.

Our garage doors can be controlled via simple pushbutton or key switch, or integrated into a building management system, or independent remote control.

Roller garage doors are a lot more aesthetic than a sectional garage door or side hinged doors due to the minimal space they take up when they are opened, and the way they can be integrated into the building.

High Security Garage Doors – Case Studies

Beaconsfield property requires bespoke garage security

As part of major building refurbishment, a luxury residential property in Beaconsfield now benefits from a new garage protected by Equilux High Security Garage Doors.

The extensive garage was built to house a number of expensive vehicles and leisure equipment and, as a result, required a significant level of round the clock security.

Charter Global were able to supply the protection required due to the unique design that enables the garage security door mechanics to be integrated into the actual fabric of the building, making the door far less prone to attack.

The lintels and cavity closer guides were installed by the builder as the garage construction progressed, with the security shutter itself installed by Charter Global’s qualified engineers.

The design of our garage door system has also allowed for maximum use of the available room in the garage as the shutter is housed within a structural lintel and therefore takes up no usable space.

A further matching shutter on a personnel door has also been installed, removing the need for a traditional swing door.

A key consideration of the security garage build was to ensure the security shutter complemented the traditional design of the property.

A timber finish was selected from a wide range of options, with the side guides finished in an alternate colour.

The completed installation now provides the owners with a high level of garage security without compromising the design of the property.

Garage doors installed to country estate outbuilding to protect against the threat of intruders

This particular client required high security garage doors to secure outbuildings on the estate from intruders.

The outbuildings contained expensive equipment used by the estate management team as well as vehicles owned by the client.

The building would be occupied sporadically throughout the year – therefore it was important to make sure it was secure when empty and unoccupied.

The Equilux Garage Door was specified to each garage opening and the Equilux Built-In Shutter system to the window in the estate manager’s office.

The design of the buildings was to blend in with other agricultural buildings in the area, whilst still being attractive

Security was a very important part of the consideration, and it was vital that the security solution did not affect the design of the building.
