Security front doors
Front doors need to be attractive enough to make a great first impression, yet strong and secure enough to withstand forceful assaults and damage.
Security for front doors is imperative, not least because a huge number of burglaries result from forced entry through a person’s front door. Often these doors are wooden, have been subject to weathering, damp and decay, and are an easy target for opportunists and calculated break-ins.
Choosing security front doors
With older doors manufactured from wood, ensuring that your front door is replaced with a more secure solution might be something to consider for the security of your home and possessions.
So how do you choose reliable security front doors? There are a few features to look out for:
- Durable front doors. Firstly, a security door with a steel core is essential if you want to be sure that your front door is going to protect you and your family. In contrast to wooden doors, steel doors won’t swell or warp in damp weather.
- Security front doors which look good. If you’re going to get a security door for your front entrance, it needs to be something which is pleasing to the eye and blends in with the frontage of your property. We can make this a reality, using a variety of techniques, from hand-painted to spray-painted finishes.
- Discrete security features. If you want your door to look like a normal door, but perform like a security front door, it must have built in security features which aren’t conspicuous. For example, a wooden veneer over a steel interior will make it look and feel just like a regular door. Original glazing panels can be replaced with bullet proof glass which will stay in place.
