Steel Security Doors

Store review

There was a time when houses in America and many other parts of the world were never locked. Today, with all our advancements and progress, crime has unfortunately also advanced to such a high degree, leaving a door unlocked is an open invitation to crime.

One of the best safety measures for the home is steel security doors; not heavy, ugly looking cages but elegant and well crafted doors, which enhance the aesthetics of the house. These doors are attractive and don't look out-of-place, blending instead with the property and even enhancing the overall appearance.

When you are planning to go shopping for steel security doors you should conduct some research first. As with most things your options are quite wide ranging; steel security doors come in a range of styles, designs and colors. Some of the doors are fitted with tempered glass, which is very useful in keeping out the elements like wind and rain. Additionally this glass is break proof as well.

A burglar attempting to break into a house fitted with steel security doors is in for a hard time. The doors come with real heavy duty hinges and locks that are virtually impossible to open short of blasting! Most of the newer models come fitted with screens to allow the flow of air into the house while keeping the creepy crawlies outside.

Steel security doors also have pneumatic closers; they will shut automatically behind you, however, it is recommended you don't take anything for granted. When entering and exiting your house make sure the door is closed tight behind you. You can adjust the pneumatic closer to set the door to close or open at the speed you want - not too quick or too slow. Test the door to see how easily you can lock it while it is in the open position.

Steel security doors are made of heavy gauge steel to provide maximum security. The additional grill work and security bars are there to provide additional security and to make the door look attractive.

You can find steel security doors for most exits ranging from front doors (even double doors), sliding doors, patio doors and French doors. Make sure you choose doors with heavy duty locks, deadbolts and irreversible hinges. Glass should be shatter proof; this is normally a standard for most doors but you should check. Frames that have been sandblasted and have a powder coating will weather the elements well.

If it is difficult to find steel security doors to match your door frame you can always have them custom made; installation is usually part of the package price. Home improvement stores sell standard security doors that you can fit yourself. Don't venture to do so if you are not a regular handyman! Security of the home is really important and not to be taken lightly. If you are going to do it yourself, take measurements very carefully. An improperly hung door will not shut properly and the whole purpose of fitting a security door is moot.

From residents to commercial offices and warehouses, steel doors are the first choice for the security conscious.
