Security Doors in York
Security Doors in York, booked ahead as a planned project.
What we do in York
Back doors and fire exits are where most break-ins start. For premises in York, we fit steel door sets with multi-point locks, hinge bolts and, where your insurer asks for one, a tested security rating.
We work on shops, offices, pharmacies and industrial units in Acomb, Bishopthorpe, City Centre and Clifton and beyond. Every frame is anchored into solid masonry, and fire exits keep their panic hardware so staff can always get out.
York is a long way from our Midlands base, so work there is booked as a planned project and fitted in as few trips as possible.
Shopping streets and planning in York
Inside the city walls, almost every shopping street is historic. The Shambles, Stonegate, Petergate and Fossgate are lined with timber-framed and Georgian buildings, many of them listed. The City of York Council expects shopfronts in the centre to be traditional, with modest signs and security kept behind the glass.
Micklegate and Fossgate have independent shops, bars and restaurants, while the Coppergate area includes larger modern units.
What you get from us
The same standard on every security doors job, whichever town it is in.
Certificates your insurer accepts
Rated doors come with the test certificate for the exact model fitted, which is what an underwriter will ask to see after a claim.
Locks into the frame at several points
Bolts engage top, middle and bottom, so the door cannot be levered at one corner.
Safe as an escape route
Panic hardware lets staff get out in one push while the outside stays locked.
Built for hard use
Steel leaves and frames shrug off the knocks of deliveries, bins and trolleys that wreck timber doors within a few years.

From first call to finished job
The steps for a security doors job, in the order they happen.
Risk chat
We ask what is behind the door, what your insurer needs and whether it is a fire exit.
Survey
We measure the opening, check the walls and floor and note which way the door must open.
Door and lock choice
You get a written price for the door set, locks and any panic or access hardware, with the rating stated.
Swap-over
Old door out, new set in, fixed and finished in one visit for most single doors.
Keys and paperwork
We hand over keys, show staff the escape hardware and give you the certificate for your insurer.
Security door prices
The rating, size and number of leaves set most of the price. These figures cover the doors we fit most.
Prices are before VAT. We confirm the exact figure in writing after the survey.
Questions people ask about security doors
Start with your insurance policy or landlord's requirements, since they often name one. Without a stated rating, a door built to a recognised standard with multi-point locking suits most shops. High-value stock such as phones, jewellery or medicines may justify a higher rating.
Yes. We fit panic bars or push pads so it opens from inside with one movement, while the outside needs a key or code.
With heavy-duty anchors drilled deep into solid brick, block or concrete. Where the wall is weak or hollow, we reinforce it first or fix into a steel sub-frame.
Very little. Check the closer and panic bar monthly, keep the hinges and bolts lightly oiled, and have it looked at once a year.
