Security-rated roller garage doors

• Manufacturer models certificated to standards such as LPS 1175
• The certificate for your exact model shown before you order
• Insulated electric operation with rolling-code remote fobs
• Single openings up to wide doubles of about 5.5 m

What does LPS 1175 mean on a roller garage door?

LPS 1175 is a standard for testing how long a door resists a forced-entry attack, and under Issue 8 its rating is shown as a letter for the threat level and a number for the minutes of delay.

The letter runs from A to H and reflects the level of attack the door was tested against, with later letters meaning a more serious threat. The number shows the minutes of delay the door achieved: 1, 3, 5, 10, 15 or 20. So a rating such as A1, B3 or C5 tells you both the kind of attack tested and how long the door held out.

STS 202 is another standard for burglary resistance, and Secured by Design product approval is a separate scheme for products. Each applies to a specific manufacturer's model, not to a type of door in general. Our guide to roller garage door security ratings explains them in more depth.

How can I check a roller door's security rating is genuine?

Ask to see the certificate for the exact door model you're being quoted for, and check that the model name on it matches the one in your written quote.

A rating belongs to the model that was tested, so a certificate for a different door from the same manufacturer, or a general claim that a door is 'high security', doesn't tell you much. Where a model is certificated to LPS 1175, we'll show you the certificate for that exact model, including the rating it achieved. The same applies to STS 202 and Secured by Design product approval.

It also helps to understand what a rating covers. A tested door is a complete product, including its laths, guides and locking parts, so changes to the specification can matter. If you want extras such as vision laths, ask whether they're covered by the certificate before you order.

How much does a security-rated roller garage door cost?

A security-rated insulated electric roller garage door costs £2,295–£3,495 inc VAT for a single opening up to 2.4 m wide.

• Wide single, 2.4 to 3.0 m: £2,695–£3,995 inc VAT
• Double, 3.0 to 4.0 m: £3,195–£4,695 inc VAT
• Wide double, 4.0 to 5.5 m: £3,795–£5,495 inc VAT

Each price includes the rated door and motor, fitting, commissioning, and the removal and disposal of your old roller or up-and-over door, with VAT at 20%. Battery backup adds £149–£279 inc VAT and keeps the door working for a limited number of cycles in a power cut.

Compare these bands with standard insulated doors on our prices page to see what the rating adds for your width. Structural work, such as a new lintel, is priced on survey and shown separately.

What else makes a roller garage door harder to break into?

Beyond the door's rating, rolling-code remotes, anti-lift or auto-locking devices and a few good habits all make a roller garage door harder to get past.

• Rolling-code remotes change their code every time you press the button, which makes the signal much harder to copy.
• Anti-lift or auto-locking devices, fitted on some motors, resist the curtain being forced upwards from outside.
• The manual override is best kept somewhere sensible inside, with an external override fitted only where you genuinely need one.
• Remote fobs are best kept out of sight, with lost ones recoded out of the system promptly.

Some insurers ask about garage security, particularly for integral garages or where valuable items are kept, so check with yours what they expect. We can't promise any change to your premium.

What happens at the survey and fitting of a security-rated door?

The free survey checks that your opening can take the rated door, and fitting day ends with the door commissioned and both its product certificate and commissioning paperwork in your hands.

At the survey we measure the width, height, headroom and side room, and look closely at the lintel and reveals the door will fix to. We check the floor level and the power supply for the motor. Your written quote names the exact model and its rating, and we show you the certificate before you order. The fitting date is confirmed in writing, depending on installer availability.

On the day, the old door is removed and the new door is installed following the manufacturer's instructions. The installer sets the limits, tests the closing force and the safety edge or photocells, and pairs the rolling-code remotes. You're shown the manual override and given the Declaration of Conformity for the powered door.
