Accessories for your Garage Door and Opener

Modern garage doors and openers come with loads of options to maximise security and convenience. These optional accessories complement Garador's standard benefits and features that offer garage door safety and reliability for many years. Take a look at Garador's range of garage door accessories that make life a little bit easier for you and your family!

Smartphone Control Kit

Our new look, faster app has been designed to make garage door control and monitoring a breeze, so you can be where you need to be, worry-free.

The app works in tandem with your automatic garage door opener to operate and monitor your garage doors and gates. Here's how it works for you:

Acts as a silent alarm

Real-time notifications alert you whenever your door is in use, open for an extended period or if your opener is in need of a service.

The Activity log keeps tabs on users

View usage history on the App, so you know who has operated your garage door and when.

You get total control

Allow full or temporary access for family, friends and deliveries, or remove access at the click of a button.

Always ready to listen

Control your garage door with your voice using the hands-free function with Siri Shortcuts, Alexa or Google Home.

Gate control as well

Pair your App and Garador Gate Opener for convenient and reliable home security. Full control to monitor access to your property, whether you’re there or not!

Safety Beams

A worthwhile addition on their own merit, infra-red safety beams are now a legal requirement on garage doors operated by a smartphone-controlled opener.

An invisible beam across the opening signals the garage door opener if broken, causing the door to stop and reverse without making contact. This prevents injury to children or pets or damage to vehicles that might pass under the moving door. This accessory adds an extra layer of protection on top of the ISS safety sensor that comes standard with all Garador garage door openers.

Entry Keypad

Use an entry keypad to gain access to your attached garage, and you omit the need for keys and remotes. This is a practical solution for families with children who may be prone to losing keys, or simply for the convenience of being able to pop out without having to take keys. Go walking or running, walk the dog, come home late or forget to take keys and you can enter the home via the garage at any time. Just make sure that the passcode you create is easy enough to remember without being simple for others to guess!

Our keypads are backlit to make entering your code easy, day or night.

Battery Backup

Do you live rurally or in an area prone to power outages? Battery backup enables normal use of your automatic garage door opener, even during a power cut or other break to the power supply.

Exclude-A-Seal

Designed to assist your Garador garage door's standard bottom weatherseal by further excluding dust, debris, pests and weather ingress under the door.

The seal is suitable for use on Garador Sectional and Rolling overhead doors.

Brush Seal bird proofing

This is an effective Bird Proofing solution for rolling doors that helps to stop birds from nesting in your garage or shed.

Comprised of aluminium seal holders fixed to the lintel and a bristle brush seal that fits into these holders, preventing the entry of birds via the inherent gap at the top of the roller door.

Mohair or Bristle Seals 

Create an effective barrier against dust, sand, leaves and even rain entering your garage with a mohair seal. The seal fills gaps around your garage opening between the door and the garage creating a cleaner internal environment. This is especially helpful if the garage is used as a living area.

This solution is suitable for our complete range of Sectional garage doors and is usually fitted during the door installation.
