(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, August 08, 2013 ) Stourbridge, UK -- The beginnings of a paradigm shift are in effect, where homeowners are now considering high security steel front doors for their homes, instead of conventional PVC or wooden doors. Gone are the days where consumers assumed that installing a steel door meant having to accept second best in aesthetics. Security door technology and appearance has developed to the point that, at a glance, most cannot tell that a steel front door is steel at all. That is until they try to access the property without permission.
There are several reasons why steel doors are gaining popularity, including the fact that in most instances, should a homeowner require it, they look just like a normal front door. In many cases, high security steel doors are actually cheaper than their wooden and PVC equivalents. Latham's Steel Doors, based in Stourbridge in the UK, is one of the leading suppliers of extremely affordable steel doors. Designed to look like a conventional door supplied by any of the popular high street DIY chains, and with an entry price cheaper than many wooden and PVC equivalents, this new type of high security door is proving to be a very attractive prospect for homeowners.
The security benefits of a steel front door over a conventional PVC or wooden front door are many. A plethora of advanced security features, materials and mechanisms mean that these doors are extremely difficult to access without express permission, or the key. Typical entry level (Standard Duty) doors feature 12 point locks, high quality weather/draught seals, heavy duty hinges, dog bolts, anti-jemmy bar lips, reinforced fixing plates, heavy duty handles, reinforced frames, drill and impact proof locks, and more. This greatly deters opportunist thieves and trespassers; those that do try to access the property are met with a door which is extremely resilient to attack; most thieves cannot afford the time of trying to access a property fitted with a high security door.
With current trends showing that UK based homeowners are now reinvesting in their existing properties instead of moving/upgrading, security features are one of the areas being addressed. The fitting of security doors give residents increased peace of mind, as well as improving the value of the property (a safer property is a safer investment).
