Hörmann RollMatic Roller Doors awarded Secure by Design Accreditation
Following the success of their Door Secure Team video and social media campaigns highlighting that not all roller garage doors are the same, and the fact some are not fit for purpose, Hörmann have announced that their RollMatic T and RollMatic 2 roller garage doors can now be supplied with Secured by Design (SBD) as standard.
Established in 1989, SBD is the flagship security accreditation that has instant industry recognition. Created by the UK Police Force to support the designing out of crime, the accreditation means that the Hörmann doors have undergone stringent security and safety tests to ensure they have been manufactured and designed with the security of the customer in mind. This has been verified through independent testing which involved a prolonged brute force attack, demonstrating the strength and robust nature of the doors.
SBD accreditation is an optional extra which is simply selected when ordering a RollMatic door and is at no additional cost. For the accreditation to be valid, doors should be installed behind the brickwork and not include any glazing options or external releases. SBD roller doors can be supplied in a range of sizes – for widths between 1601mm to 3000mm and heights of 2000mm to 3100mm maximum. Registration of the door will take place automatically when an order is placed.
David O’Mara, Marketing Manager at Hörmann UK said, “Our slightly controversial, yet fun approach to highlighting the inferior performance of some roller garage doors on the market has certainly been noticed and achieved results. We have seen an impressive 40% increase in sales of our RollMatic doors when compared with last year, with our Door Secure Team helping to educate the market that low-cost garage doors are just not the answer.
