If you haven’t got an automatic garage door, then here’s a thought - imagine how hard a car was to steer or park before power steering was introduced?
As a piece of proven technology, automated garage doors often mirror the benefits of now-standard vehicle features such as power steering, remote central locking and ABS. In both cases they are excellent ways to enhance the experience and safety of use.
Our installers regularly witness satisfied customers who have automatic garage doors installed for the first time rapidly realise what a potent innovation it is... the idea of going back to dealing with such a heavy structure, especially in unfavorable types of weather would be unthinkable!

Often we select Alutech for their impressive Levigato automation solution (pictured above), developed in conjunction with design house Pininfarina. Here they have fused style and substance to make a seriously well rounded set of products.
So if your garage door is in good condition and manually operated, why not automate it? Take the effort away from this tedious task at the touch of a remote control! Almost all types of garage door can be successfully automated, the only exception being canopy door types.
Door types such as roller and sectional are designed with automatic in mind.
All operators are extremely reliable, fully guaranteed and can stop/start the door at any time you wish from a comfortable distance away, typically the same distance as your vehicle's central locking remote control operates at. A minimum of two convenient, small remote control handsets are provided with each motor, along with a wall mounted switch for non-handset operation.
If you want the door to stop halfway down, or indeed anywhere in its cycle, just press the Stop button on the wall or remote control and it's done. A sensitive safety override (typically an infra-red beam and/or contact pressure sensors) automatically retract the door if it detects a risk of crushing something.
Low power use means that operating costs are negligible. Manual override exists in case of power failure. Each motor has its own unique security coding, easily programmed in but tamper-proof once activated.
There is an inbuilt security light in the motor to welcome you inside, which stays on for about two minutes. Security is enhanced because the important parts are inside the garage, not mounted externally.
