Comparing Side Hinged Garage Doors with Up & Over Garage Doors in London

If you are considering upgrading your garage with a new door, you’ll undoubtedly be looking for one that seems really appealing, offers increased security, and is within your budget. Two very popular types of garage doors match these criteria: Side Hinged Garage Doors, and Up & Over Garage Doors in London.

Traditional Up & Over Garage Doors in London are the classic choice for homeowners looking to replace their garage door. Up & Over Garage Doors are regarded as secure doors in the UK, with a vertically opening door that runs on either tracks or rollers, and is typically sprung-loaded. It’s a classic for a reason and with such a simple mechanism, Up & Over Garage Doors in London are suitable for virtually any home, and any budget.

The latest secure up and over garage doors on the market are fitted with good locks that are hard to pick and robust enough to resist brute-force attacks. If you are particularly concerned about security and wish to go the extra mile to ensure that you have a very secure door, you can choose to reinforce the door frame, or add security bars to enhance security. 

With simple operation and straightforward construction, up and over style garage doors are more affordable than side hinged garage doors, and are also cheaper to install. 

High security doors for your home

If you wish to automate your garage door then an up and over door is the most versatile (and affordable) option for doing so. It is possible to automate side hinged garage doors but the options are more limited and the cost is considerably more. If you do decide to automate your garage door then you can benefit from increased security. 

Automated doors with remote control grant access only to those who have possession of the device. They can be programmed to lock every time the door is closed , so you’ll never forget to lock it and leave it unprotected against intruders.
