What considerations should you be thinking about when choosing Automated Garage Doors in London

This blog post is for you if you have thought about the idea of installing a new automated garage door for your property in London, but are not sure if it is a viable option for you.

Is your garage compatible with an automated Hormann garage door?

Almost certainly, the answer to this question will be a resounding yes. Hormann has designed an extensive range of automated garage doors that are suitable for virtually every conceivable type of garage. The key metrics you need to measure before you look at specific solutions are:

You’ll need to accurately measure the internal dimensions of your existing garage space to determine which is the most suitable type of garage door for your garage door entrance.
Measuring the ceiling height, the width of the opening, and the depth of your garage
Be aware that some specific Hormann garage doors, such as Rollmatic garage doors, require additional headroom to house their rolling mechanisms, but do not require a gap either in front of or behind a vehicle, as they open and close vertically.
More traditional up and over style automated garage doors in London swing outwards, so you need to take into account how much additional space you’ll need to leave in front (or behind) your vehicle, if you intend to park right up against the door.

What level of security do you feel your garage needs?

Today’s automated garage doors can be fitted with a wide range of locking mechanisms and security systems, as well as optional extras that can significantly increase the level of security for your vehicle. Consider:

The area you live in
The value of your vehicle(s)
Any other items you store in your garage
If your garage grants access directly to your home
