At Select, we supply many composite doors in Leeds. Composite doors are amongst the most popular choices because they come in a variety of styles and colours. This adds a personality and a striking appearance, increasing your property’s market value in the process.

One of the core aspects of your composite door is its security. The doors are hard and firm and firm, so they will ward off intruders in the process. However, you might be wondering how you can make the door more secure. In this article, we will give you helpful tips and advice on how you can bolster your door, so you will protect your home and keep it safe. Read on to find out more.

Install Multi Point Locking Systems In Your Front Door

Most composite doors are equipped with a standard lock in your home. However, installing a multi point locking system is one way of keeping you and your home safe. A multi point locking system launches a three point attack against intruders as it includes three locking points. It makes it harder for burglars to tamper with them as it sits inside the door, making them difficult to manipulate.

A Smart Lock Lets You Unlock the Door Through Your Smartphone

With the rise in technology, we offer a Smart lock with our composite doors. One of the most secure options on the market, these locks are designed to be operated by the user. The door locks automatically, making your home even safer in the process.

Upgrade the Glass

As your composite door gets older over time, the glass becomes easier to break. A common problem for single glazed doors, if you upgrade to our composite doors, they are equipped with double glazing as standard. This means you will get stronger glass in the process, so intruders will find it impossible to break in.

Another option is to include toughened glass in your home. Toughened glass is ideal as it is five times stronger than standard glass, allowing you inherent strength over a long period of time.

Add a Security Light in Your Home

A simple and effective way of improving your composite doors’ security is to implement a security light on your property. This is fitted on the outside of the door and switches on automatically whenever anyone appears in the door.

Burglars usually break into homes during the evening, so a security light is perfect to spot an unwanted guest. Furthermore, having a light with a modern security sensor will also be ideal in spotting any movement outside your composite door. If you live in a poorly lit area, this will ensure intruders won’t stand a chance.

Reinforce Your Door

Reinforcing your composite door is a great way of upgrading your home’s security. This will help sustain the door against modern burglary techniques, adding extra strength to keep both you and your loved ones safe.

One way of doing this is to upgrade the door jamb, which weakens over time. Another way of increasing security is to replace the door handle. At Select, we offer a wide selection of high quality door handles that you can choose. All of them have a firm grip which makes it impossible to force open. However, if intruders can’t break in, they might try to kick the door down. As a result, steel lock reinforcements ensure your composite door stays even more robust.

A Spyhole Gives You Control on Who to Let into Your Home

Like a door light, a spy hole gives you complete control over who you can let into your home. When someone knocks on your door, you can see straight away who is at the door, letting you decide if it is safe to open.

Another reason to install a spyhole is that it is cost effective and affordable. They sit at eye level, giving you a clear glimpse of who is at the door. What’s more, they don’t use electricity, saving a considerable amount on your bills.
