Secure garage door

[Alexphd1]

Asking a question for somebody else.

What's more secure sectional or roller. Garage is away from home with direct access to road. Will be installing CCTV etc. 

Any recommendations for installation in stoke also welcome.

I understand roller shutters are fairly secure - if you damage a lath it will deform and pull out of those above and below it, so you end up having to work away at multiple laths to gain entry, sectional are bigger pieces and can more easily be broken as once you damage a section you have compromised a larger section. You can also get high security roller shutters which are basically just put together with heavier laths.

 

Knowing what I know now I would probably buy all the parts and assemble my own roller door - I can weld which helps to fabricate the channels but there is nothing to them and the rooler door places sell all the bits you need fairly inexpensively.

I fitted a roller GD on ours It is very secure The clamps that are fixed to the top slat and the motor locks in place making it difficult to get your fingers under the door Let alone lift it
