The Security Benefits of Composite Doors

Introduction

Composite doors have become increasingly popular among homeowners in Cardiff & South Wales due to their durability, security, & aesthetic appeal. This advice centre article explains the various security benefits of composite doors.

1. Reinforced Materials

Composite doors are made from a combination of materials, including wood, PVC, & insulating foam, all of which are reinforced to provide exceptional strength. This makes it extremely difficult for intruders to break through.

At Pendragon we only supply Composite Doors from Endurance, which have a 48mm thick, cross laminated solid timber core which is considerably stronger than foam filled composite doors.

2. Advanced Locking Systems

Most composite doors come equipped with advanced multi-point locking systems. These locks engage at multiple points along the door frame, providing superior security compared to traditional single-point locks.

3. Impact Resistance

The robust construction of composite doors ensures they can withstand significant impact. This makes them extremely difficult for burglars to break through.

6. Security Glazing

Many composite doors come with security glazing options, such as laminated or toughened glass. These glazing options are more difficult to break than standard glass, providing additional protection against break-ins.

7. High-Quality Hinges

The hinges on composite doors are designed to support the door’s weight & provide added security. Heavy-duty hinges reduce the risk of the door being pried open.

8. Customisable Security Features

Homeowners in Cardiff can customise their composite doors with additional security features, such as spyholes, security chains, and knockers with spyholes, to further enhance their home’s protection.

4. Anti-Drill & Anti-Snap Cylinders

Composite doors often feature anti-drill & anti-snap cylinder locks, which are designed to resist common burglary techniques. These features add an extra layer of security, protecting your home from forced entry attempts.

The cylinders used in Endurance Doors are anti-snap, anti-bump, anti-drill & anti-pick. Endurance are so confident in the level of security offered by the cylinders that they use they offer a £2,000 security guarantee.

5. Enhanced Door Frames

Composite doors are typically installed with reinforced frames, which further enhance their security. The combination of a strong door & a solid frame makes it extremely difficult for intruders to force entry.

Conclusion
