Security Doors

Burglars rarely come through the front. They try the back door, the fire exit and the side gate, where nobody is watching. A proper steel security door closes that gap.

We fit security doors on shops, pharmacies, off-licences, offices, warehouses and plant rooms, mostly across the Midlands and further afield when needed.

What makes a door "secure"

It is the whole set, not just the leaf. A strong door in a weak frame, or a good frame fixed to crumbling brick, will still give way. We supply doors as complete sets: steel leaf, welded steel frame, hinges with dog bolts (steel pins that stop the door being lifted out if the hinges are cut), and locks that throw bolts into the frame at several points.

Ratings and insurers

Security doors are tested by independent bodies and given a rating that shows how long they resist attack with given tools. The most common scheme in the UK is LPS 1175, where higher numbers mean more time and heavier tools. If your insurer or landlord has named a rating, send us the wording and we will quote a door that meets it, with the certificate to prove it.

Fire exits that stay secure

A fire exit must open instantly from inside without a key. That does not mean it has to be weak. Panic bars and push pads can be fitted to steel doors, with outside access only by key or code. We make sure escape routes keep working while the door stays shut to anyone outside.

Locks, closers and access control

We fit anti-snap cylinders, deadlocks, hook bolts and overhead closers that pull the door shut every time. If you want keypad, fob or intercom entry, we prepare the door for it and can fit the hardware too.

Fitting

The old door and frame come out, the opening is made good, and the new set is fixed into solid masonry with heavy anchors. Most single doors are done in a day, so you are never left without a lockable entrance overnight.
