If you’re wondering whether your garage door can be automated, the answer is a resounding yes. Automating your garage door is a practical and worthwhile investment, offering greater convenience, improved security and even a potential increase in property value. Many people are surprised to find that automation can be more affordable and energy-efficient than expected.
Various types of garage door can be automated. Overhead doors are among the easiest to convert, with installation usually being a smooth and budget-friendly process. If you already have this type of door, it’s no exaggeration to say that adding automation can significantly improve your day-to-day routine.
Side-hinged garage doors can also be automated, by fitting a swing arm or similar hydraulic or electromechanical system. This makes operating the door amazingly effortless. Up-and-over garage doors are particularly suited to automation, too, thanks to their simple mechanism, which allows for the easy integration of a remote control system.
Sectional garage doors are another popular choice for automation. Our team can equip these with a motor system, streamlining access to your garage and adding a real feeling of luxury to your property. Roller doors can also be automated, though this involves a more involved process which includes partial dismantling and the fitting of a new motor. While it takes more time and comes at a slightly higher cost, the benefits in convenience and usability are nonetheless well worth it.
It’s important to make sure your existing garage door is in good working condition before considering automation. Doors that are too worn or damaged may not be suitable. That said, many of the garage doors we encounter in Edinburgh are more than capable of being upgraded. With a remote-operated system, there’s no need to leave your vehicle to open or close the door, especially useful during Scotland’s frequent wet or chilly weather.
Once your garage door is automated, you’re also likely to notice a significant boost in security. Most remote systems come with enhanced locking and safety features, helping to protect your home and give you added peace of mind.
