Your front door is arguably the most important security feature of your home. While style matters, security should always be the top priority and never compromised.
It’s essential to recognise that not all composite doors offer the same level of protection. Looking for recognised quality markers, such as Secured by Design, helps ensure your home is properly secured.
What Is Secured by Design?
Secured by Design is the UK police-backed security initiative, which focuses on reducing crime. It sets recognised standards for doors that are tested against various common burglary methods.
These tests typically include forced entry testing, such as levering, kicking and body impact. Locking performance tests are also carried out to ensure that locks can resist manipulation and attack.
Strength and durability checks on the door slab, frame and hinges, alongside glazing retention tests, ensure all components remain secure under pressure.
These tests are designed to replicate real-life break-in attempts to give homeowners the peace of mind that their door is equipped to perform under attack.
