Many people think a composite door is more secure than a wooden front door.
That isn’t always true.
The security of any front door depends on how well it is made, fitted and locked. The material is only part of the story.
A high-quality timber door is incredibly strong.
When made from solid European oak or Accoya, a wooden front door provides excellent strength and durability. Add a quality multi-point locking system, security hinges and toughened or laminated glass, and you have a door that offers a high level of protection.
A bespoke timber door also has another advantage.
Because it is made to fit your home perfectly, it closes properly and allows the locks to work exactly as they should. A poorly fitted door, whatever it is made from, can reduce security.
Many people also worry that glass makes a front door less secure.
Modern glazing is very different from old glass. Toughened and laminated safety glass is designed to be much stronger, giving you extra security while letting natural light into your home.
Of course, no door is completely secure without good installation.
Even the best timber door won’t perform as it should if it is fitted incorrectly. That’s why choosing an experienced manufacturer and installer is just as important as choosing the door itself.
A wooden front door isn’t just about security.
It also adds character, warmth and value to your home. Every piece of timber has its own natural grain, making each door unique. Unlike many factory-made doors, a bespoke timber door is built to match your home perfectly.
With regular care and maintenance, a quality timber door can last for decades while continuing to look beautiful and perform brilliantly.
