Which One is Right for You?

Choosing the right garage door for your home isn’t just about style or colour – you also need to decide how you want it to operate. If you’re torn between manual and electric roller shutter doors, this guide from Home Secure Solutions will help you weigh up your options. We’ll also explain why it’s so important to work with a trusted installer of roller garage doors in Chelmsford and the surrounding areas.

Manual Roller Garage Doors

Manual roller doors are opened and closed by hand. They’re a great option if you want a reliable, cost-effective door and don’t access your garage frequently. If you mainly use the space for storage, a manual door could be the right fit for you.

Key benefits of manual garage doors include:

  • Lower upfront cost

  • No need for an electrical connection

  • Fewer mechanical parts to maintain

However, they aren’t always suitable for everyone. If you have limited mobility, or want the convenience of remote access, you may find an electric door more suitable.

Electric Roller Garage Doors

Electric roller doors are operated using a remote control and powered by a motor – offering maximum convenience. They’re ideal if you use your garage every day, or want a more accessible solution for your home.

Some of the main advantages include:

  • Easy to open without leaving your vehicle
  • Convenient for use in bad weather or at night
  • Some models can be linked to home security systems
