Security is the central consideration for everyone when it comes to their home. You want to feel safe, secure and relaxed within the confines of your own home and knowing nobody can penetrate your external doors is a huge part of this. As the primary access points to your home, your front and back doors need to adhere to security standards. Modern composite doors available from KLG Rutland meet these standards and beyond. These composite doors are extremely secure, thanks to key safety features which we will discuss in this guide.
Multi Point Locking System
The lock on your front or back door is its most important safety feature, but old-fashioned doors only lock at a single latch, which could be easily broken. Modern composite doors available at KLG Rutland all come with a ‘secured by design’ multi-point locking system, which engages at several points around the door frame. This is far more secure than a regular single-point locking door and makes it far more difficult for the door to be broken into. Our composite doors are secured by German-engineered Winkahus locks which are some of the most advanced on the market. It would be incredibly difficult to break open a multi-point locking composite door, but we do also offer extra security chains for extra peace of mind.
Reinforced Composite Materials
Another key security feature of composite doors is the combination of materials used to craft the door itself. Manufactured from compression moulded Glass Reinforced Polymer (GRP), composite doors are incredibly strong and incredibly difficult to break. This GRP is bonded to a composite frame and then reinforced with Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) running through the middle of the door for ultimate strength. Put simply, it would take an unbelievable amount of force to break through this combination of materials, meaning your house is as safe as can be.
Further Benefits of Composite Doors
It’s not just the superb security provided by the multi-point locking system and reinforced composite materials that make composite doors a great choice, there are other features that homeowners will feel the benefit of. For one, our composite doors are extremely energy efficient, far more so than your average wooden front door. The materials used in the manufacture of composite doors are naturally insulating, aided by a CFC-free Polyurethane foam core which is a further layer of insulation. The trimming around the door also prevents heat from escaping, while any double-glazed window features in the door design are also thermally efficient. All this means that your energy bills should come down, as less heat escapes from your home through your external doors.
On top of this energy efficiency, maintenance is another area where composite doors excel. The material is easy to wipe clean every so often, and will not crack or warp over time like traditional timber. KLG Rutland composite doors come with a 10-year surface warranty and have the same appearance as wooden doors, just with all these added benefits we have discussed.
