What should I know about security-rated roller garage doors in Dumfries?
- Look at the lintel and the brickwork around the opening, as a rated door relies on sound masonry for its fixings.
- Ask to see the certificate for the exact door model in your quote, and check that the model name and rating match.
- Count the remote fobs your household needs and plan where they'll live, as a lost fob should be recoded out of the system.
- Decide where the manual override will be kept inside the garage, so it's easy for you to find but not obvious to anyone else.

Security-rated roller garage doors in Dumfries: questions
Do you cover Dumfries?
Yes. Dumfries is part of the area we cover in Dumfries and Galloway, including DG1 and DG2. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Dumfries?
Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Scotland, and widening the opening needs a building warrant. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Dumfries?
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 Dumfries. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Is the survey in Dumfries 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.
Will a security-rated garage door lower my home insurance?
We can't promise that. Some insurers ask about garage security, but each one sets its own terms and decides what, if anything, it takes into account. Before choosing a door for insurance reasons, ask your insurer what they would need to see, and keep the product certificate and commissioning paperwork somewhere safe in case they ask for it.
Does a security-rated roller door have a manual override?
Like most electric roller doors, it normally has a manual override for power cuts, usually an internal crank or winding handle. Where the garage has no other way in, an external override may be possible, though it's worth thinking about where it sits. Battery backup is another option, running the door for a limited number of cycles while the power is off.
