Over time, the security in our homes can be compromised by parts that don’t fit as well as they once did. One of the key elements in security is the quality of the doors, since these are the easiest points for burglars to gain access. Often, our front and back doors are not up to scratch, and that’s a situation you need to urgently remedy.
Signs of Old Doors
If you’ve just bought a property, you may have noticed signs that the front door needs replacing. Doors that age tend to twist slightly, and hinges can come loose, causing the door to stiffen and creak. You might also feel a draught around the door, or see daylight between the door and the frame.
If you have glass in the door, is it double glazed? Single glazed panels are an invitation for burglars to smash their way in. If they can conceivably reach the handle from the inside, or turn a key, you have a problem.
The right front door for you
Choosing a new door is all about getting a beautiful result that doesn’t compromise on security. With us, you can choose from a front door made from uPVC, wood or composite materials:
- uPVC door – with practical good looks, these doors come with either solid or glazed panels or a variety of colours such as white, mahogany and golden oak. Plastic doors are an inexpensive and highly secure option that will make your property look smart inside and out.
- Wooden door – nothing compares to the beauty of wood, and with a little care and attention, a wooden front door will last a long time. Choose from traditional or modern contemporary designs to suit recently built or older homes. We can provide secure front doors to suit heritage or listed buildings.
- Composite doors – composite doors are made from a metal frame with a wood grain effect on the door itself. The inside of the door is filled with high density foam. Composite doors cannot be dented or punctured, and they retain their shape over time. Because the doors are made with specific colour dyes, they never need to be repainted, either. Go for a solid colour or a glazed pattern, with or without decorative glass.

We all know how important it is to have good quality windows. Don’t forget the quality of your front door. If you have heating in the hallway, all of that energy could be lost through a poorly fitting front door, and a burglar could be waiting to take advantage.
