Dominator Garage Doors: Security Features
Nothing should be left to chance when securing one of your home's most significant entry points — your garage.
Dominator understands the importance of combining top-tier garage door security with ease of use, ensuring that every exit and entry is safe and smooth.
This blog post will explore the robust safety and locking systems inherent in Dominator garage doors, designed to protect your home and give you peace of mind.
Prioritising Your Protection with Advanced Safety Features
Your family's wellbeing is our top priority. That's why our garage doors are designed with advanced safety features, providing the best door security available.
Infrared Safety Beams
Imagine an invisible barrier safeguarding you and your loved ones. Our infrared safety beams, which come compulsory with our smart garage door openers, create an invisible beam across the door's path. If this beam is interrupted by any person or object, it triggers the door to stop and reverse immediately. This feature is particularly effective in protecting children and pets from accidental closures, ensuring their safety.
Auto Reverse System
Our auto-reverse system automatically detects any obstruction in the door's path, whether on the way down or up and immediately halts and reverses direction. This critical feature minimises the risk of injury by preventing the door from applying force onto the obstruction, such as a person or a vehicle.
Manual Release
Power outages can be unpredictable and inconvenient, but they shouldn't lock you out. Our manual release feature lets you easily open your garage door, bypassing electronic mechanisms. This feature ensures that access to your garage is never compromised, even in emergencies or power failures.

Fortifying Your Home with Robust Locking Systems
At Dominator, we believe that the strength of your home's security lies in the robustness of its locking systems. That's why our garage doors are equipped with some of the most advanced locking options, fortifying your home's defence against unauthorised access.
TrioCode™ Technology
Say goodbye to worries about code grabbing or duplication. Our TrioCode™ technology, standard with our sectional garage door opener, uses a multi-frequency transmission system that ensures consistent operation, even in areas with significant electronic interference. The code transmitted by your remote to the garage door opener varies with every use, generating a new code from billions of possibilities, virtually eliminating the risk of code interception.
Auto-Lock
Some Dominator models have an automatic locking mechanism that engages a heavy-duty steel bolt as the door closes. This feature acts as a formidable barrier, significantly increasing the effort required to force the door open. The Auto-Lock system is a strong deterrent to break-ins, providing an added layer of security that gives you peace of mind.
Smart Control Kit
In today's connected world, remote access is invaluable. With our Smart Phone Control kit, you can monitor and control your garage door from anywhere using your smartphone. Receive alerts for unauthorised access attempts, and secure your home with a tap, even when you're away.
Synchronising Protection with Integrated Security Systems
True garage door security is only achieved when all elements work in harmony. That's why our garage doors can be seamlessly integrated with your home's general security system, offering enhanced protection that synchronises with your lifestyle.
Alarm System Integration
Connect your garage door's operation with your home alarm system for synchronised security. Any forced or unauthorised access attempt will immediately trigger your home's alarm, alerting you and potentially scaring off intruders before a break-in occurs. This cohesive strategy creates a fortified layer of protection for your home.
Scheduled Close
Never worry about leaving your garage door open again. Certain Dominator models can be programmed to close at specific times, ensuring that your garage never remains open by mistake. This convenient feature eliminates a common security risk, providing peace of mind and protecting your home even when you're away. (Safety PE Beams are required for this function.)
