Ryterna Sectional Garage Door: Real life security test
Every home needs a garage door to provide security for your cars and other items. Among the various types of garage doors available, sectional garage doors have become a popular choice for homeowners due to their durability, ease of use and modern design. However, you may wonder just how strong theses doors are, and if they can withstand harsh weather conditions or potential burglaries.
Garage doors must pass a number of difficult, officially approved tests in order to be certified. While certification tests are crucial in determining a garage door’s strength and durability, the true test shows how well they perform in real world situations. Here is an example of Ryterna sectional garage door in a ‘Forklift’ Security Test.
The test situation:
Criminals frequently use basic equipment like crowbars or hammers to break into houses or businesses in the world of burglary. However, some thieves go one step further by using machinery to carry out their criminal acts. In a recent break in, robbers used a stolen forklift to break into the private house. The device capable to lift over 100kg, with a hope to easily break through and gain access to the building
The results:
Luckily, the door was strong enough to withstand brutal attempt. Only the bottom panel suffered damage, while the rest of the door parts remained undamaged. This level of resilience is a test to the quality and safety of sectional garage doors, and it's no wonder why they are a popular choice for many homeowners and businesses.
The owner of the garage was relieved when they realised that their door had prevented the robbery attempt of their belongings. They were pleased with the door's durability, security and pleased that they wouldn't have to pay for a full door replacement. The door will look brand new if only the bottom panel needs to be replaced.
