Things to Consider When Shopping for Security Doors

kael abbott • Jul 21, 2018

Security doors are a great addition to any home. For one, they keep those pesky insects at bay. They also provide another layer of security to your home. Plus, you can now open your doors during those extra humid days without worrying about intruders.

Nonetheless, a lot of planning must go into choosing the best security door that will fit your needs. Here are some things to consider when shopping for security doors in order for you to make the best choice.

Know what you need

The first thing that you should do before shopping for security doors is know what you need them for. If you just need to keep insects and crawlies outside the house, a light security mesh will do. However, if you are in an area with a degree of security concerns, you might have to go for something a little tougher like steel doors.

If you plan to put them in your commercial space, you really need to step it up in terms of materials. You will definitely need a steel grille to discourage possible intruders from breaking in. Knowing what you need is the first step in knowing what security door you are looking for.

Flexible budget

Knowing what you are willing to spend is definitely one of the things to consider when shopping for security doors. It is essential that you know what you are getting into so you will not get shocked with the price tag.

Light, aluminium ones usually go for around $200. Heavy, steel ones can go as high as $700. Getting quality doors will cost you more than standard doors so you have to prepare for that, too. This is the reason that, while you know the price range of the security doors you want, you must have a flexible budget. This way you can be financially ready in case the door turns out more expensive than you previously expected.

Style versus function

This is one area of contention when it comes to security doors. Buyers must prioritise aesthetic value or security functions. There are times when security doors offer high security but score low aesthetically.

There are also times when it is completely the opposite. There are beautiful aluminium security doors, for examples, that look so attractive but can be easily broken into. Prioritise and it will help you in deciding which between style and function you will give more importance to.

Guarantees

Among the many things to consider when shopping for security doors is knowing what guarantees the doors come with. Can the company vouch for its quality? Do they meet security standards? Are they safe from corrosion? Are they fire-proof? Are you satisfied with the warranty the company is offering? These are things that you have to ask before you finally decide what security doors to purchase.

Company reputation

You will not have so many problems with guarantees and, really, in general, if the company you deal with is of good reputation. A great company will help you find the exact security doors that you will need. It will have doors custom-made to fit your home and your priorities. The company will not insist on a type of door that will give them more profit. Rather, it will take in all your input, give you options, and respect your final decision.

An excellent company will give you a wide selection range with security doors that mix style and function. It will be there for you from planning to installing and even possible repairing in the future. Make sure you do your research and get some referrals before settling for which company to get security doors from.
