The need for security with any category of door is rising more and more and the difference between a door with only a good lock and a proper security door is being better understood by buyers.

The steel security doors referred to as ‘security’ focussed, rather than actually security accredited and certified are manufactured with additional features and enhanced components to increase security and resistance to force. Examples are:
- Heavier duty steel panels using thicker galvanised steel than lesser doors
- Protected handle and locking cylinder access points
- Astragal seals/ anti jemmy flange on door leading edge to prevent screwdrivers and crow bars gaining access to gaps between the door and the sub frame to apply force
- Deadbolt locking and multiple locking with separate locks with separate key cylinders
- Dog bolt hinges and other security hinge types to resist forced attacks on hinge side
- Anti bump locking cylinders to prevent forced cylinder snapping
- Heavy duty steel box section sub frames for giving the strongest resistance to attack
Although these doors will offer great security through their obvious enhancements, they may not be security rated, tested and certified, but they will have the other necessary compliance and often other features like insulation included as standard. Their main focus however is security and resistance to break ins and forced attack. Some of the doors may be even more secure than tested and accredited doors, they simply are not tested, but obviously very secure.
If you require certified, rated and accredited security steel doors for your project then take a look at our Security Rated Steel Doors page.

Don’t Be Fooled by Multi Point Locking Alone!
You see so many online sales references to ‘multi point’ locking systems for the best security but the overall door price is around the price of a recognised branded security lock system on its own. So often you would be better with a stronger door panel using single point locking as long as a recognised and high security cylinder and handle system was used.
The misleading issue with multi point locking - either 9, 12, 18 point, it doesn't matter, if all those locking points are fed back to the same locking cylinder, which is low quality and easily broken or ‘bumped’ from the outside. Once the lock cylinder is broken you can operate the multi points of locking and disengage them and gain access.
The best steel security doorsets will be manufactured with around 3 to 5 points of locking, but when executed property and combined with combination of high quality hook and deadbolt locking systems and rated locking cylinders built into a door panel with
