Our front doors are Solid, Safe & Secure

Security and peace of mind for your family:

Our secure front door cylinders have been developed specifically to meet the TS007 3-Star standard for lock cylinders and has undergone rigorous testing prior to its full approval to the new standard. To provide a counter measure to, amongst others, the increasing threat of snapping locks, the cylinder itself features several layers of protection. In particular, the cylinder features a sacrificial break slot, which ensures that in the event of the cylinder being snapped, the secure core of the lock is retained within the door preventing forced override of the cylinder.
What is the TS007 Kitemark?
To effectively protect your door, the Door & Hardware Federation in the UK (DHF) advises that the lock cylinder and door handles on external entrance doors should meet the highest standard, and
protect against all the latest forms of attack. The DHF advises home and business owners that their lock cylinders should be upgraded to the TS007 Kitemark standard.
Secured by Design (the Association of Chief Police Officer’s crime prevention initiative) has worked with the DHF and the Glass & Glazing Federation (GGF) to develop the TS007 standard.

Other Technical advantages and options we recommend:

Cill options

For our quality front doors and entrance doors we have two options of cill types: choose from either a timber cill with an aluminium top for drainage channels or a low aluminium threshold suitable for disabled access. We always highly recommend the low aluminium threshold cill as it is a much lower step so you are less likely to trip over it and it is also more durable and wear resistant. Obviously this is also useful for disabled access. Here you can see both options, drawing 1 is with timber and drawing 2 is what we recommend, without timber. Dimensions are available in our technical drawings.

3D adjustable butt hinges

Here you can see a brochure of the special adjustable hinges we use – 3D adjustable butt hinges.
