Reasons why you may need a high security door
It is an unfortunate sign of the times, but all businesses have to be acutely aware of their security aspects for their premises, staff and stock – especially if you are located in a busy city like London. Cutting corners on your business security could result in heavy costs, not only in stolen goods and equipment, but in lost business whilst insurance issues and such are being dealt with. Security doors are highly recommended for any commercial, or industrial, premises where potential forced entry is a possibility.
Here are some reasons to consider investing in high security doors:
High security protection
Your doors are the most easily accessible point of entry into your premises and the first place any criminals will look to exploit and breach – security doors offer optimum strength and protection.
Low maintenance
Standard wooden doors can require a lot of maintenance over time and are adversely affected by changing weather conditions. Weak points develop over time – aspects that can become visible and, therefore, evident to potential burglars to criminals. Steel security doors are not affected this way by the elements.
Potential threats
There are a number of potential threats to guard against, from the serious situations to every day theft and criminal damage. It come be from opportunist attacks with minimal tools, right through to sustained and determined attacks with heavy duty power tools and considerable use of force. There are a range of different levels of security doors to cater for these unwelcome eventualities.
Security door recommendations
- Hinged doors that open outwards are more secure than inward opening doors
- Ideally, security doors should set-back into a reveal or recess, and not be flush with the attached walls
- Surface mounted locks are more secure than standard mortice locks
- External furniture should be minimised, or completely avoided where possible
- Remember – a security door is rendered ineffectual if the walls of either side of it are not just as secure!

It is not just commercial business that has a requirement for security doors – establishments such as schools, universities, leisure centres, hospitals, care facilities and housing association developments, all have a responsibility and duty of care for their occupants and users to provide security and safety.
