Steel doors. Engineered to resist, designed to be seen.

A steel security door is a front door built from a galvanised steel leaf and frame around an insulated core, closing on multi-point locking. It gives you the strength of engineered steel with the appearance of a quality front door, because the security sits in the construction rather than the looks. Every one is made to measure to your opening and finished in your choice of colour.

A steel security door resists forced entry that a standard timber or composite door cannot, while looking like a normal front door from the street. A standard door relies mostly on its lock; a steel door combines a rated steel leaf, a galvanised frame and multi-point locking that engages top, side and base at once. It is the difference between a door that delays an intruder for seconds and one that holds against a determined attack.

Our steel security doors are tested to LPS 1175 at SR3, an independently verified forced-entry standard, so they are built to withstand a determined attack with tools rather than an opportunist push. The steel leaf, the galvanised frame and the multi-point lock work as one unit under pressure. The right security class for your home is confirmed at the free survey.

For most homes an SR3 door under LPS 1175 gives a strong, independently tested level of protection. The right rating depends on your property, your area and any insurance requirement, which is why we assess it at the free survey rather than selling you more than you need. We recommend the class that matches your risk and explain why.

For a home at this level, a steel security door protects the property, the contents and the people inside with a door that also lifts the frontage. It is made to measure, finished in your colour and built to last for decades with very little upkeep, so the value holds long after a mass-market door would have dated or worn. Many buyers also find it supports their insurance position and their home’s resale appeal.

Yes. A steel security door can be finished to look like any premium front door, with traditional mouldings, glazed panels, sidelights and any RAL colour. The strength is engineered into the core and frame, so the outer face is free to be as refined as you like. Most visitors never realise they are looking at a steel door.

Yes. Steel security doors can take glazed panels, vision panels and full-height sidelights, all in laminated security glass so the glazing does not become the weak point. The glass can be clear, obscured or decorative, and where higher protection is needed it can be specified to a security glass rating such as P6B. We design the glazing around both the look you want and the security your home needs.

Yes. Matching a Victorian, Georgian or Edwardian frontage is one of the most common reasons people come to us. We replicate the correct mouldings, proportions and colour, then build them on modern security-rated steel construction, so the door suits the house and still locks like a modern security door.

No. The steel is galvanised and then powder-coated, which seals it against moisture and stops the corrosion that unprotected steel would suffer. The finish is durable and colour-stable outdoors, so the door keeps its appearance without repainting. A wipe down now and then is all it asks.

A well-made steel security door is built to last for decades. Galvanised steel resists corrosion, the powder-coated finish holds its colour outdoors, and the locking hardware is engineered for years of daily use. With occasional cleaning and the odd lubrication of the locks and hinges, it should outlast several standard doors.

Yes. A steel security door needs very little: an occasional wipe of the finish and a periodic lubrication of the locks and hinges to keep everything moving smoothly. There is no repainting, no swelling and no warping, because the powder-coated galvanised steel is stable in all weather. It is one of the lowest-maintenance front doors you can fit.

Yes. Steel security doors are powder-coated to order in any RAL colour, so you can match the door to your home exactly. Black and anthracite grey are the finishes we fit most, but the full range is open to you, and the inside and outside can be different colours if you want. The powder-coated finish is built to hold its colour outdoors for years.

The cost of a steel front door depends on its size, the security rating you choose, the glazing and hardware, and the complexity of the opening, so every door is priced individually after a survey rather than from a fixed list. We give you a written quote, agreed before any work begins, and the price is fixed before we start.

There is no meaningful difference. A metal front door and a steel front door describe the same product. "Metal front door" is the term buyers often use when searching; "steel front door" is the technical description of what it is made from. The door itself is the same whichever term you used to find it: a galvanised steel leaf and frame, an insulated security-rated core, and multi-point locking.
