Are Steel Security Doors Worth It?
For many homeowners and businesses, YES, Steel Security Doors often represent a higher initial investment, but their benefits outweigh the cost:
1. Improve Security and Safety
Steel Doors offer greatly enhanced security and peace of mind. The strength of solid metal makes them far more resistant to forced entry than traditional wooden doors, preventing burglars with forced attacks and protecting your property.
2. Certified Steel Doors
Certified steel doors can easily meet strict security requirements like STS202, PAS24, LPS1175. This means the doors have been tested to provide measurable, proven protection against attacks by hand tools, power tools or even physical force like body slams.
Super high security ratings such as SR3 and SR4 are easily achievable in steel..
3. Durability and Reliability
With proper maintenance, steel security can continue to operate and maintain the new look for decades. On the other hand, wooden doors may crack, splinter or break in extreme weather.
4. Aesthetics
Many people visualise a steel door as an ugly, industrial looking slab of metal, but modern paint finishes and a massive selection of tough laminate woodgrain finishes, plus the ability to create designs and patterns in the door panel, all go to creating a beautiful final look.
Most doors you wouldn’t even know were steel at first glance.
