REAL Security
Security is a very serious consideration for all home owners. According
to British Crime Survey figures released by the Home Office, there
were an estimated 733,000 domestic burglaries carried out in England
and Wales in 2005/2006.
Not only is your garage often one of the easiest ways to break into
your home, but it usually houses high value items that are easy for an
intruder to steal and sell.
Tested and Approved
SeceuroGlide 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.
SWS UK is audited annually for the quality and consistency of manufacturing and factory systems.

Physical Security
SeceuroGlide Excel 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 (patent applied for).
In addition, steel end plates and the curtain webbing assembly system also
contribute to the security rating.
