Front Door Security

Home security is a bigger issue than ever before. Recent statistics suggest that close to 80,000 burglaries occur in the UK annually – meaning that burglars are making break-in attempts every 40 seconds. What’s worse that is they are achieving a success rate of over 70% by gaining access through the front entrance. This sobering fact confirms our anecdotal experience that front doors are the weakest link in home security terms – and shows why high security doors are the trend of the future. Fortunately, UK consumers looking for a highly secure front door have a range of options.

The most robust composite doors are notoriously tough to break into – even by police officers with access to highly specialist gear. These are typically steel-framed, strengthened with carbon fibre and kitted out with the most tenacious cylinders and multi-point locks available on the market today, with the objective that nobody without a key can get inside. The strongest doors close via a system of connecting hooks that fix into the door frame itself, making them virtually impossible to open even with the fiercest brute force. These are popular with our London front doors customers.

Thanks to clever design, it’s also possible to thwart another popular burglary technique – the removal of glazing panels in order to unlock the door from inside. One way to do this is by integrating the double glazing into the structure itself, so that there is no separate component part to unclip. Front doors are generally mass-produced and shaved down to size, but with JK Doors you can take a ‘made to measure’ approach to ensure that they precisely fit the space. This option increases door strength, while also providing draft reduction for a more eco-friendly installation.

The entrance doors we sell are made according to our customers’ preferred dimensions, colouring, opening direction and the desired design pattern. If you’re looking to capture the aesthetic of Victorian doors in an older building, for example, then we can help you out with that. With JK Doors, there’s no need to sacrifice security when striving to achieve the most appropriate look for your home. Whether it’s Victorian front doors, the grand and typically oversized Georgian front door, or any other period style that you’re seeking to emulate, then you’re in the right place.

Our goal is to bring you modern security systems without losing charm, elegance and kerb appeal. If you have any concerns around your door security, please call JK Doors today - or arrange a free quote online. We will carry out a survey and offer our suggestions on door design and locks.
