Steel Door Sets – Complete Solutions for Modern Buildings
Steel door sets have become the preferred choice throughout the UK for new builds and replacements, in both domestic and commercial settings. Compliance and certification standards require a full doorset: a unified door panel, sub frame, and all necessary hardware tested and supplied as a single integrated unit for dependable, certified performance—no mix-and-match components.
Every steel door set is designed with a clear purpose, be it fire protection, security, acoustic control, smoke resistance, or emergency escape. These functions demand manufacturing to precise, repeatable standards—the only way to guarantee certified compliance is to manufacture and supply the complete doorset, just as it was originally tested.
Our range challenges all expectations of what a steel door can look like. Modern manufacturing techniques and colour finish options mean steel doors can blend seamlessly into any setting; they’re available in a vast array of sizes, all with double-skinned construction and thicknesses from 45 to 65mm for superior strength, security, and insulation. When specified correctly, steel doors deliver outstanding performance for every building type—commercial, industrial, or residential.
Commercial Steel Doors
Commercial steel doors come in many styles and specifications, serving internal spaces needing extra security like stock rooms, and providing robust protection at external entrances. Don’t be misled by very low-cost doors—budget versions are often single-skinned, weak, and lacking true fireproofing or insulation. Finishes will be less durable. Genuine security doors feature double-skinned leaves and high-quality hardware. Note that multi-point locking systems must be paired with secure lock cylinders for effective protection, not just impressive numbers.
Steel Door Security Ratings
Security is a core advantage of steel doorsets. Even standard models are highly robust, but doors manufactured to certified standards offer reliable security—look for PAS24, LPS1175 (SR1–SR4), Secured by Design, or European RC ratings. Third-party testing is the only true measure; marketing labels alone can't guarantee real protection. Always demand proof of certification before purchase.
EI Fire Certified Steel Doors
Fire door regulations have evolved in the UK to focus on both flame and heat protection. EI-certified steel doors not only stop flames—they remain cool on the non-fire side, protecting building occupants from both heat and smoke. Insulated fire doorsets offer the highest safety assurance for modern buildings.
Insulated Steel Doorsets
For external doors, insulation and security are equally important—and often combined with features like emergency exit hardware. Our steel doorsets can be custom-built to meet almost any requirement, from thermal and acoustic performance to access control, with made-to-measure sizing and documented designs provided for sign-off.
Consider steel doorsets for virtually any internal or external pedestrian access point—the durability, longevity, and superior security features far outweigh alternatives like timber, especially for fire protection.
