When it comes to choosing a secure garage door, several factors should be taken into consideration:

• Accreditation
  Opt for a garage door that has Secured by Design accreditation.
• Material and design 
  Consider the material and design of the garage door, ensuring it offers both security and aesthetic appeal.
• Installation
  Choose a company that offers a professional measuring and installation service to ensure your garage door is fitted correctly and operates smoothly.

Choosing a garage door accredited by Secured by Design offers numerous advantages. Firstly, it provides assurance that the product has undergone thorough testing and certification. These tests evaluate the door's resistance to physical attacks, ensuring it can withstand potential intrusion attempts by burglars.

Beyond selecting a Secured by Design accredited garage door, there are more ways to keep your garage safe and secure. You could consider these additional security tips:

• Lighting
  Install outdoor lighting around your garage to deter potential intruders and improve visibility at night.
• Lock valuable items securely
  Many bikes and motorbikes are stolen at home, mainly from sheds and garages. You should take the same care to lock your bike securely at home as you would on the street.
• Secure E-bikes
  E-bikes are increasingly being targeted from garages, so consider using a ground anchor fixed in the concrete floor to secure them.
