Keep Your Bike Safe and Secure

In recent years there has been a huge increase in cycling. Many people that had not cycled for years fell back in love with the sport and purchased a bike or even an electric bike during lockdown. Those who already loved cycling made the most of the extra time at home by upgrading their bike or adding to their bike collection.

Sadly, bike theft is also on the increase. Some bikes cost many thousands of pounds, so they are a tempting target for thieves. Bikes are often kept in a garage or outbuilding that may not be as secure as it could be, making them easy pickings. 300,000 bikes are stolen each year, many of them from home.

Improve your bike security at home

The police give some tips on keeping your bike secure at home.

  • Keep it locked up with a decent lock, perhaps to a ground anchor
  • Security mark it and add it to a database
  • Secure your outbuildings

We are very conscious about keeping our bike locked or not leaving it unattended when we are away from the home. But once we are home and it’s back in the garage or shed we may make the assumption that it is safe and secure.

Have you considered the security of your garage or shed? Are the windows and doors as secure as they can be? Is it always kept locked? Is the garage alarmed? Those are all good questions to consider.

Something else to consider is the garage door. They are often flimsy and insecure. Perhaps a high security roller door would be more suitable. Our “Diamond” door even attains Secured By Design status, having been tested against prolonged brute force attacks to ensure it is as secure as can be.

As well as automatically locking when they close, our “Gold” and “Diamond” roller doors both come fitted with intruder alarms as standard for that extra peace of mind. Contact us today on 01245 905 509 to discuss a roller door solution to keep your bike and other property secure.

Great service from Sam from start to finish.
Sam came in person (which is rare nowadays) to take the measurements. We received the quote by email on the same day. We are very happy with the service we received and the quality of the door.

Absolutely fantastic service, very friendly and professional. I was provided with several options to build a package and price to suit my budget and it was the best quote I had received. However I would have chose this company regardless due to the detailed information and non pushy sales approach.
Doors fitted within a day and left clean and tidy ready to go.

Thanks again

Fantastic company.

Wanted to use a local independent company for my garage doors. Had been to the usual franchise companies and it was ok but felt like a production line.

These guys were so knowledgeable, helpful and attention to detail was second to none.

I’ll admit they were slightly more expensive than the franchise but literally only a by a small amount and I felt that was fair for the high level of service.

The job was done in less than a day and they left everything neat and tidy and gave me a lesson on the workings etc.

Highly recommend!
