When it comes to protecting your home, choosing a high security garage door that meets the Secured by Design (SBD) standard offers complete peace of mind.
Secured by Design is the official UK Police flagship initiative promoting the principles of “designing out crime” through high-quality security standards and certified products.
What Is Secured by Design?
Established in 1989, Secured by Design (SBD) works with police forces, industry experts, and independent testing organisations to improve the security of buildings and products across the UK.
Only products that meet rigorous police-approved testing criteria can achieve the Police Preferred Specification, proving they offer a genuine level of protection against attempted break-ins and forced entry.
Why Choose a Secured by Design Garage Door?
Your garage is often one of the most vulnerable access points to your home. Installing a Secured by Design-approved garage door ensures that your property benefits from:
- Tested and certified resistance to forced entry
- Enhanced locking systems and reinforced panels
- Long-lasting performance and quality manufacturing
- Compliance with the official Police Preferred Specification
- Reduced risk of burglary and greater peace of mind
