The official UK Police flagship initiative combining the principles of ‘designing out crime’ with physical security 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.
Established in 1989, Secured by Design (SBD) is the title for a group of national police projects focusing on the design and security for new and refurbished homes, commercial premises and car parks as well as the acknowledgement of quality security products and crime prevention projects. It supports the principles of ‘designing out crime’ through physical security and processes.
Secured by Design works with the industry and test houses to create high-level security standards, responding to trends in crime, and has given input on a number of key standards. The principles of the scheme have been proven to reduce the risk of crime and the fear of crime.
The new Guardian range has been engineered to offer even greater security. We offer three styles: Horizon, Carlton and Salisbury. Available with canopy or retractable gearing options and in any one of seven standard colours. We also offer a range of FrontGuard front entrance doors, which are Secured by Design (SBD) accredited to complete the package. This also qualifies for 2 points under the Code for Sustainable Homes, a national standard for use in the construction of new homes which encourages greater sustainability
All doors come factory pre-framed ready for site installation, right hand door leaf leading as standard (viewed from the outside) with lever/lever handle set. Fixed leaf (LH side when viewed from outside) fitted with shoot bolts at top and bottom of inner leading edge. The floor will need to be finished and level for the bottom shoot bolt to engage.

When measuring for a garage door, it is important to take several measurements inbetween the width and height of the garage opening utilising the smallest measurements when it comes to the ordering sizes. The ordering size for up and over doors are the door size inbetween the frame legs and head section, the frame legs and head must be taken into account. Please see specifications for the different types and diagrams to assist.

Ordering Door Size: This is the actual door panel size plus the fitting tolerances. The door size should be used for internal dimensions of a timber frame.
When ordering a steel frame, the door will come pre attached to the frame and should be accounted for to get the overall frame size (OFS). This is particularly important when installing inbetween the opening as no fitting tolerances are included.
E.g. Ordering Door Size = 7’0″ x 6’6″ (2134 x 1981 mm) gives an OFS of 2234 x 2031 mm (width x height).

Steel Up & Over Garage doors are a timeless and reliable choice. Choose a style and colour and you have a strong and secure door that will look good for years to come with the minimum of effort. Up and over doors in an array of designs made from steel, they are designed for a long and reliable life and are available with retractable or canopy lifting gear. Single doors up to 9’0” wide and 7’0” high are supplied with canopy lifting gear as standard. Retractable lifting gear is available as an option on all door sizes up to 9’0” wide and 7’0” high and standard for all doors over this size.
The canopy mechanism uses an overhead torsion spring with cables and is great for manual operation. When the door is open, it leaves about a third of the door protruding out from the garage. Single doors up to 9’0” wide and 7’0” high are available with canopy lifting gear.
The retractable mechanism uses side tension springs with tracks and is great for manual and particularly automatic operation. When the door is open, it fully retracts back into the garage. Retractable lifting gear is available as an option on all door sizes up to 9’0” wide and 7’0” high and standard for all doors over this size.
Tension springs application – headroom required 115mm (100mm if manual).
Tension spring track application with tension spring assembly – doors up to 10’0″ wide.
Max. width 3000mm
Max. height 2625mm / 2500mm (LPU 67 Thermo)
Torsion springs application – headroom required 210mm.
Normal track application with torsion spring assembly – doors over 10’0″ wide (option for doors < 10’0″ wide).
Max. width 6000mm
Max. height 3000mm
Low headroom torsion springs application – headroom required 115mm (100mm if manual).

Side frames are delivered in Woodgrain white as standard. With a frame covering that matches the door sections’ surface finish and colour or decor, you can also achieve a harmonious appearance for sectional doors with Sandgrain, Micrograin, Silkgrain or Decograin surface finishes. For Micrograin doors, the frame covering is delivered with a smooth Silkgrain surface finish.
Two different widths make it possible to cover the side frame for different fitting situations.
1) 55mm wide frame covering for fitting behind the opening, with little sideroom (< 90 mm)
2) 90mm wide frame covering for fitting in the opening, flush with the wall
Required for fitting sectional doors in between the brickwork.
The sectional door can be fitted behind the opening. The reveal guarantees stable fitting. This allows the frame to be screwed directly into the wall behind the opening. Ideally, the available garage has at least 100mm of clearance in the lintel area (at least 115mm for doors with operators) and a 90mm sideroom. Sectional doors come with all the necessary fitting materials for this situation.
The sectional door frame can be fitted to the side wall of the garage with the optional, universal anchors. Irregularities in the wall can be easily compensated, leaving the reveal intact.
1) Fitting with up to 35mm wall spacing
2) Fitting with angled or irregular side wall
3) Fitting with non-load bearing facades (facing brick or thermal insulation) with at least 90mm and max. 125mm sideroom
End plates are provided as galvanised, choose this option to have the end plates powder coated in matching colour.
When measuring for a garage door, it is important to take several measurements inbetween the width and height of the garage opening utilising the smallest measurements when it comes to the ordering sizes. The ordering size for sectionals is the door size inbetween the frame legs and head section, the frame legs and headroom must be taken into account.
Sectional garage doors can be fitted behind (maximising the drive through width and height) or inbetween (maximising the depth of the garage) the garage opening. If fitting inbetween the opening, a special anchor set and frame cover profiles are required.
Things to consider when ordering your sectional garage door:
All doors come factory pre-framed ready for site installation, right hand door leaf leading as standard (viewed from the outside) with lever/lever handle set. Fixed leaf (LH side when viewed from outside) fitted with tower bolts at top and bottom of inner leading edge. The floor will need to be finished and level for the bottom tower bolts to engage.

Woodrite side hinged doors can be fitted within or behind the garage reveal – see the image details. When fitting within the reveal a 3mm gap for timber frames on all three sides should be included in the size to allow for brickwork coursing tolerances. Door sizes represent the inside dimensions of the frame.

Woodrite up and over doors can be fitted within or behind the garage reveal – see the image details.
Doors should be fitted to a Woodrite steel frame or timber goalpost type frame. Doors can be fitted within or behind the garage reveal – see the details shown.
When fitting within the reveal a 3mm gap for timber frames and 5mm gap for steel frames on all three sides should be included in the size to allow for brickwork coursing tolerances.
Door sizes represent the inside dimensions of the frame. Up and over door sizes are approximately 19mm narrower and 25mm shorter to allow for operating clearances and tolerances.
A 19mm square weather bead should always be fitted to the under-side of the door frame lintel in front of the door to hide the top gap. This feature is integral on Woodrite steel up and over frames.
