The Glide Excel is the first garage door to be tested and approved to police and insurance standards.

Offering security without compromise, the Glide Excel insulated roller garage door adds the highest available security specification for the security conscious home owner to create the most advanced roller door on the market today.

A typical garage contains many high value items, including tools that can be used to gain access to the rest of your property. Securing your garage to the highest standards, the Glide Excel is the first garage door to successfully complete independent testing due to its unique reinforced design. It is proven to offer the best protection for your garage, car and home.

These insurance approved roller garage doors are available in a choice of fifteen low-maintenance finishes and come supplied with a single channel Smart receiver with built-in courtesy light, two key fob transmitters, a bottom slat safety sensor and an internal manual override.

Insuranced Approved Garage Door Features

• Power with internal manual override.
• Patented locking – our garage doors incorporate self adjusting locking mechanism into the axle assembly. As the garage door closes, a high tensile bolt engages with the lock comb to secure the door.
• Weather protection – guide rails are lined with a dense brush strip to block cold draughts and keep your garage warm and useable. A shaped rubber seal on the bottom of the slat adds further protection from adverse weather conditions.
• Powered by SOMFY – All our electric garage doors utilise Somfy’s powerful tubular drive motors. Acknowledged as the world leaders in roller door power units, Somfy motors are covered by a comprehensive five year manufacturer’s warranty.
• Manual Override – Every garage door comes supplied with a simple manual override crank, ensuring you will never be accidently locked in your garage even in a power cut. Also available are external low-level override and battery backup options.
• Control unit – our garage doors utilise the tried and tested Smart control unit, which combines a courtesy light with both remote and push button control functions.

Tested and Approved

The Glide Excel is the first garage door to offer Police and Insurance approval.

Tested to the rigorous LPS 1175 burglary resistance standard, the door is certified to resist timed manual attacks that mimic common burglary methods using commercially available tools such as knives, levers and screwdrivers. Operated by the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB), the UK’s leading independent certification body, the standard is recognised and endorsed by 16 organisations, including the Association of British Insurers and the Association of Chief Police Officers.

Physical Security

The Glide Excel roller garage door is fitted with an innovative locking mechanism that automatically secures the door every time it closes. Upon closing, the aluminium slats firmly interlock, resisting attempts to break through or lift the door by force. To prevent the curtain from being forced out of its guide rails, the Excel also features unique bottom slat anchors.

In addition, steel end plates and the curtain webbing assembly system also contribute to the security rating.

Secured by Design

The Glide Excel garage door has been awarded the prestigious Secured by Design Police Preferred Specification status.

Secured by Design is the official UK Police flagship initiative supporting the principles of designing out crime by use of effective crime prevention and security standards for a wide range of products and applications.

Only products which have been tested and meet the required technical standard can be awarded the Police Preferred Specification.

Research has indicated that Secured by Design usage can reduce burglary and car crime by up to 50% and criminal damage by 25%.

Options Available

• Battery backup – A battery backup offers added peace of mind and convenience. All doors are supplied with a manual override as standard but by choosing a battery backup you can continue to operate your door with the remote control in the event of a power failure. For the Glide Excel, if the garage door is the only means of entry to the garage a battery backup will be required.
• Full box – A full box completely conceals the roll. This option allows Glide garage doors to be fitted outside the garage. Boxes are supplied in white or brown as standard. They can also be supplied in any of the plain colour finishes for an additional surcharge.
