ABOUT SECURITY DOORS

There are two main types of security door. The first resembles an ordinary external door, with fiberglass or wood finish, but is built of steel and has strong side fixings. The second is an openwork steel door, resembling wrought iron, with tempered glass backing panel. The steel work is available in a wide range of decorative patterns. Both types of security door provide a much higher level of security than is provided by ordinary external doors. Security screen doors are available; these act as screen doors which keep out insects but also provide security.

Other specialist security doors include security doors for yachts, and 'secret bookcase' security doors which conceal a secure room or vault.
