The sight of just your security door can make potential burglars think twice before they attempt to break in, the reason for this is because it can take potential break ins much longer which is not beneficial for potential burglars who just want to go in and out very quickly. They would also assume that if the homeowner owns a security door than they would also have other security measures in place at their home.

Security doors are designed to withstand certain attacks such as fire, bullets, crowbars, hammers, cutting and drilling tools. We offer high security doors with multiple different levels but on the basic level will protect you from burglary attacks using tools.

For the best security doors, it can take a while before a potential burglar can break through and that is only if they have the right tools. For the most part they would not be able to even cut through and even if they attempted it can take hours which is not what burglars want to do as they want to quickly enter and leave their victims house.

Steel security doors are much more secure compared to wooden security doors due to the fact that they are more durable, protect against fire, can withstand weather conditions and won’t expand or contract.

Unlike steel doors, wooden doors require regular maintenance to make sure that they are waterproof, if not maintained properly this can result in the wood rotting and warping. Another main difference between wood and steel is the fact that unlike steel, wood is vulnerable to brute forced break ins especially if the frame of the door is not thick enough.

Compared to steel security doors, wooden doors are the least fire safe option and are more susceptible to attacks involving crowbars, saws and drilling tools.

A steel door is a metal door so there is practically no difference between the two. Steel is the most ideal material used for security doors as it is the metal that is very durable, very strong and can last a very long time which is the perfect investment for any homeowner.

The steel structure of the door means that the door itself will not warp or crack like other doors that bare made up if different materials like wood. Powder coating on top of these doors means that not only the door but the look of the door will last much longer than your typical door.

There are many things to consider when purchasing a security door. The first thing you should look out for is where the door is being made. The reason for this is that you won’t have to pay extra for international shipping if you buy locally. If you encounter any issues with the door and you’ve bought it locally, the company can assist you much more quickly. At FORT Premium Security Doors, all doors are manufactured in the UK.

Another aspect you should pay attention to is the certification of the security door. Most security doors should have PAS24 certification. PAS24 is the enhanced security standard that covers the performance and testing requirements for enhanced security windows and doors. It’s the standard that all security doors should adhere to in the UK.

Ensure that the exterior of your door is powder-coated, not painted. Paint does not hold up effectively under the sun’s heat, and since a painted door is not heat-resistant, you might need to spend more time on its maintenance.

The most effective way to burglar-proof your front door is by replacing it with a steel security door. This is due to the fact that a steel security door is significantly more durable and stronger than your typical wooden or fiberglass door. While the idea of a heavy-duty steel security door might not sound appealing, FORT Premium Security Doors can create one for you that combines robust strength with modern and attractive aesthetics.

Furthermore, a steel security door boasts exceptional longevity, outlasting a typical wooden door by a considerable margin. Unlike wooden doors, a steel security door won’t warp, crack, or rot, and it demands far less maintenance. Additionally, steel security doors are resistant to fire, bullets, crowbars, hammers, cutting and drilling tools. Most burglars are discouraged from attempting a break-in if they encounter one of these doors, as they often lack the tools necessary to breach them.

The presence of a security door also signals to potential burglars that you likely have other forms of home protection, such as CCTV cameras and home alarms. This added layer of security can deter any would-be burglars.
