What should I know about security-rated roller garage doors in Seaham?
- Ask to see the certificate for the exact door model in your quote, and check that the model name and rating match.
- Ask whether extras such as vision laths are covered by the door's certificate before adding them to your order.
- Look at the lintel and the brickwork around the opening, as a rated door relies on sound masonry for its fixings.
- Consider battery backup if the garage is your main way in, so the door keeps working for a limited number of cycles in a power cut.

Security-rated roller garage doors in Seaham: questions
Is the survey in Seaham really free?
Yes. For a new door, a replacement or a conversion, the survey is free and there is no obligation to go ahead. We measure the opening, check the lintel, headroom, side room and power, and send a written quote afterwards.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Seaham?
Yes. Photos of the opening, the inside of the garage above the door and any existing door help us give a more useful guide price for Seaham. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
What do you check at a survey in SR7?
At a survey in SR7 we measure the width and height of the opening, the headroom above it for the roller box, the side room for the guide rails and the floor level. We also look at the lintel and where power can come from for an electric door.
Do you cover Seaham?
Yes. Seaham is part of the area we cover in County Durham, including SR7. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
Is a higher LPS 1175 rating always better for a house?
A higher rating means the door resisted a more serious attack for longer in testing, but that doesn't make it the right choice for every home. Think about what the garage connects to, what's stored inside and what your insurer asks for. We'll explain the ratings available on the models we can supply and show you each certificate, so you can decide.
Can my existing roller door be upgraded to a security rating?
No. A rating applies to a complete door model as the manufacturer had it tested, so adding locks or parts to an existing door doesn't make it rated. If you want a certificated door, it has to be a new door of a rated model. Some changes still help, such as recoding lost remotes on a visit that is priced and agreed before we come out.
