Secure Automatic Doors for Garages in West Sussex

Automatic Garage Door Operation
Your radio controlled automatic garage door can be opened or closed by pressing either the button fitted on the garage wall, or a hand-held remote. The transmitter will work at up to 100ft (even from inside your house out of sight of the garage door), and has the latest rolling code security. Extra transmitters and wall buttons can be added.
West Sussex Automatic Garage Door Safety
Doors take 10-20 seconds to open and close, depending on the model. If the door hits an obstruction during closing (ie. a car bonnet or a person), it will automatically reverse and go back to fully open position.

Automatic Garage Door Options
The automated garage doors range has additional options to help with the usability and safety:
PIN Pad
The garage door opener can also be operated via an optional PIN pad, fitted to the outside of the garage door frame.
This is useful if the transmitter is not available (car out on a journey), or if there is no other entrance into the garage (car locked in garage with the transmitter).
Auto Garage Illumination
Whenever the door is used, a built-in light activates and illuminates your garage. This then switches itself off after a set amount of time (default 3 minutes).
This option is very useful for those darker winter months, or in areas where your electric garage entrance is in the shade.
Auto Garage Door Manual Bypass
In the event of a power failure the door can be opened manually after pulling a release cable at the back of the door.
If there is no other entrance to the garage, you will need a manual key release (optional extra) which is set into the face of the door and allows external release of the door with a key.
