FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Garage doors are often the weakest point in a home’s security, frequently targeted because they provide a large opening and often house high-value items like e-bikes, motorcycles, and expensive tools.

By supplying and fitting premium hardware—from replacement Hormann locks to Sold Secure floor defenders and internal ground anchors—Chris ensures that even if an intruder targets your garage, they won’t gain access to your property or your most valuable equipment.

Yes. Chris supplies and fits high-quality replacement locks and handles for almost all major brands, including Hormann, Garador, Henderson, and Cardale. Whether your lock has been damaged in a break-in attempt or has simply worn out over time, Chris can install a fresh, secure locking mechanism to restore the basic security of your door. He carries a wide range of parts to ensure most repairs are completed on the first visit across Midlothian and the surrounding areas.
Enfield bolts are one of the most effective and affordable “add-on” security measures for up-and-over garage doors. Chris fits these bolts internally on both sides of the door. They work by throwing a heavy-duty steel bolt directly into the garage frame or brickwork.
The Benefit: Even if a burglar manages to snap the main handle or central lock, the door remains firmly bolted at the corners, making it extremely difficult to pry or “jemmy” open.
The Garage Door Defender is a high-visibility, floor-mounted security device that acts as a powerful deterrent. Chris professionally installs the baseplate into the concrete floor directly in front of the garage door. A heavy-duty “T-bar” is then locked over the baseplate, physically blocking the door from being opened.
Sold Secure Approval: This means the product has been independently tested to resist professional attack methods, often meeting the strict requirements of home insurance providers.
For many owners in the Lothians, the value of the bikes inside the garage exceeds the value of a car. Chris supplies and fits high-security internal ground anchors. These are bolted deep into the concrete floor using anti-tamper fixings. By looping a heavy-duty chain through the anchor and your motorcycle, mountain bike, or e-bike, you ensure that even if a thief manages to enter the garage, they cannot physically move the bikes, providing a critical final layer of defence.
Garage security hardware is only effective if it is anchored correctly.
Precision Fitting: Ground anchors and defenders require professional drilling into concrete with specific depths and fixings to ensure they cannot be pulled out.
Door Integrity: Fitting Enfield bolts requires precise alignment to ensure the door still operates smoothly without catching. As a local expert serving Edinburgh, Midlothian, and East Lothian, Chris provides the professional tools and nearly 20 years of experience to ensure your security upgrades are “fit for purpose” and built to last.
