​Electric garage doors are huge, heavy pieces of machinery that have multiple moving parts and can present real risks. If a garage door is poorly installed, old, or incorrectly maintained, it might be a hazard for yourself, your belongings and your car, not to mention your pets and any young family members.

Read on to learn about some of the ways garage doors can go wrong, and discover a few of the precautions Dominator have taken to ensure that their products are the safest on the market.

​Street appeal is massively important, not just for increasing the value of your home, but for aesthetic pleasantry and general liveability, too. Who doesn't want to live in a home that looks beautiful?

​Garage doors look sturdy because they're so large and heavy. But what you may not know is that many garage doors are deceptively fragile. Their motors have tiny moving parts, and a low-quality garage door will break down or rust quickly when exposed to the elements.

​After your house, your car is probably the most expensive asset you own. Not only is an automobile financially valuable, but so much of our lives depend on driving around. Despite that, many people are appallingly blasé when it comes to protecting their car. They leave it out front of their homes, exposed to the elements and passers-by, or house it in a garage behind a flimsy and outdated roller door.
 
If you want to protect your car, as well as everything else in your home, it's vital that your vehicle is protected with secure electric garage doors.

​It is often said that the single most important component for the value of a house is the location. To some extent, that's true; most of the increase in house prices over the last few decades has actually been to do with the value of land. But, if you're looking to sell your house, there's nothing much you can do about the location – a house is where it is!
 
However, there are still many things you can do to improve the resale value of your home. Many other factors are considered when establishing how much a property is worth – things like street appeal, automation, and security. Here are just a few of the reasons why you might want to increase the value of your home, and how you can go about it.

​Your garage door must be not only good looking and reliable, it needs to be tough and secure. At Dominator Christchurch, we understand that security and safety are a key consideration when choosing a garage door or opener. The garage door is the largest moving item in your house and can cause serious injury if it fails.
 
Garage door systems can vary significantly in the type of safety and security features they offer. Our roller garage doors and electric garage doors use the latest safety and security features to ensure your family and possessions are safeguarded and the risk of an accident is mitigated.

​Automation is increasingly becoming a part of our daily lives. While some automated solutions like automatic coffee makers and thermostats could be considered luxuries that aren’t crucial, automated garage doors are different. Automatic garage doors are a sensible option that every homeowner should consider. Below, we look at some of the benefits.
