Door Automation Can Make Life Easier for Disabled Garage Owners

Door automation technology can be utilised to make garage doors open and close when operated by a simple press of a button on a remote control. Automation makes life easier for many people, but for those who have disabilities that affect their mobility or dexterity, automation can completely open up a previously inaccessible space.

Some of the benefits to disabled garage owners of installing modern automated doors could include:

• Access to the garage with no physical effort.
• Reduction in the space taken up by the door can help ensure that the garage has the correct dimensions to suit wheelchair and scooter access.
• Improving garage security, as automatic doors can be locked and unlocked remotely and can also have cameras or alarms attached to them.

All the garage doors that we supply and install can also reduce energy costs through thermal efficiency and enhance the appearance and value of your property.

Disabled Customers May Save 20%

For some people, we may even be able to save you from paying the VAT on your new door! We don’t charge VAT on garage door upgrades for disabled customers that meet the government’s criteria for VAT-free building work. For instance, those who qualify for a ‘Blue Badge’ or ‘Disabled Facilities Grant’ may qualify. If you think this might be you, please mention it to us when we pop round to see you and we will do our best to save you from paying this tax.
