Remote Control Garage Doors
Our automatic, electric garage doors can be controlled from a selection of different remotes. We provide traditional key ring remotes as well as car cigarette lighter transmitters that can be operated from inside your vehicle.
Our remotes use modern, highly secure radio signals and encryption protocols that have been tested by security experts for your peace of mind.
Safe and Secure Garage Doors
The electric doors that we supply are extremely sturdy - with an operator boom that holds your garage door firmly in place when closed. This makes them extremely resistant to forced opening and is effective even during the event of a power outage.
Our garage doors are also thoroughly tested to European safety standards and have many features to immediately stop operation in the event the door is obstructed.

Up and over garage doors come in a huge range of styles to suit your home.

Adding electric operation to side hinged garage doors is relatively straightforward provided the door panels are properly constructed and made of sturdy materials. A boom style operator is usually the most popular method for automation.

Once the garage door has been securely closed a door security kit automatically engages, locking the sections immediately and making them extremely resistant to breaking and entering.
This door latching is completely mechanical and will continue to function even when unpowered.

Electric Garage Doors – Frequently Asked Questions
What is an electric garage door?
An electric garage door is a garage door fitted with a powered operator that opens and closes automatically. It is typically controlled using a remote handset, wall control or, in some cases, a smartphone app.
Can any garage door be automated?
Most garage door types can be automated, including up and over, sectional, side hinged and roller shutter doors. During a site survey, the door type, weight and condition are assessed to ensure it is suitable for electric operation.
Can I add an electric operator to my existing garage door?
Yes. In many cases an existing manual garage door can be upgraded with an electric operator, provided the door structure is sound and compatible with automation. A site survey will confirm suitability.
Are electric garage doors safe?
Electric garage doors are designed with multiple safety features, including obstacle detection, automatic stop functions and secure locking systems. All operators we install meet current UK and European safety standards.
What happens if there is a power cut?
Electric garage doors include a manual override system, allowing the door to be opened and closed by hand during a power cut. Many operators also lock the door securely when closed, even without power.
How secure are electric garage doors?
Electric garage doors are highly secure. The operator holds the door firmly closed and uses encrypted remote signals, making forced entry significantly more difficult than with traditional manual doors.
What control options are available?
Electric garage doors can be operated using remote key fobs, wall-mounted switches, in-car controls and, in some cases, mobile phone apps. Available options depend on the operator selected.
Do electric garage doors use much electricity?
No. Electric garage door operators are energy efficient, using minimal power during operation and very low standby power when not in use.
Do electric garage doors require much maintenance?
Maintenance requirements are low. Occasional servicing helps ensure smooth operation, keeps safety features functioning correctly and extends the lifespan of both the door and the operator.
Is a site survey necessary?
Yes. A site survey ensures the correct operator is selected, confirms compatibility with your garage door and allows for safe, accurate installation.
