How Spitfire Doors improve home security

As the nights draw in, it’s important to consider your home security, especially if you’re investing in a front door upgrade. It’s not just an entry point to your property but your first line of defence against potential intruders.

Spitfire doors are renowned for their high-quality, innovative designs, offering considerable security benefits as well as aesthetical ones. Here’s some insight into what to expect from their secure range of aluminium entrance doors.

Why are aluminium front doors so secure?

Aluminium is an incredibly robust material that offers several security advantages for front doors. As a strong and durable material, it’s highly resistant to forced entry attempts, making these designs difficult to kick or break down.

The quality of aluminium (including powder-coated paint) means the door stays durable over the years, resistant to weathering, corrosion and warping. This helps maintain its structural integrity even in the varying environmental conditions experienced in the UK.

What are the signs of poor front door security?

To ensure your home remains secure, it’s important to recognise the signs your current front door doesn’t provide adequate protection. This includes visible damage, such as rusty hinges, dents or warping (often seen in older wooden designs), which may affect the structural integrity of the door.

Weak or outdated locks are also an open invitation to potential burglars, and you may even be having difficulties opening and shutting your front door. If your door lacks modern security features like advanced locking systems or biometric access, it can be vulnerable to intrusion.

What security features do Spitfire Doors offer?

If you’re looking for a secure door upgrade for your home, Spitfire Doors come with lots of security features to give you peace of mind. This includes multi-point locking systems and high-security handles, ensuring the door is secured at several points along the frame, significantly increasing its resistance to forced entry.

Built with high-quality aluminium and reinforced cores, each model in the Spitfire Door series is incredibly strong and durable, preventing damage from external forces. They also feature high-security cylinder locks, making it extremely difficult for intruders to pick or manipulate them.

Are biometric locks worth it?

Biometric fingerprint technology is a great option if burglar-proofing your home is high on the priority list. Biometric locking is an advanced security feature, as well as offering a convenient entry system.

Biometric locking systems are highly secure because they rely on unique biological markers like fingerprints for access. This eliminates the risk of unauthorised key duplication. Some biometric systems can be integrated with smart home technology, allowing you to control access remotely, manage user permissions, monitor entry and receive notifications.
