Let’s face it, most of us notice a smart looking front door – after all, first impressions count from a design point of view when you turn the key, or ring the bell. And when the time comes to replacing one, it’s more than just a cosmetic update, says Rachael Munby, group marketing director at Anglian Home Improvements.
“It’s an opportunity to enhance your home’s style, security and energy efficiency… and with so many options available, it can get a little confusing.”. To help you make the best decision for your home, Munby shares five key factors to consider when replacing your doors….
Staying secure. “With 76% of burglars gaining entry through the front door, often by forcing locks, security elements is one of those key things to consider when choosing your new exterior doors,” highlights Munby. “You want your door to keep your home safe and secure, so you need to think about the material of the door and the lock.”.
Ideally, your front door should have a cylinder lock as it’s one of the most secure, says Munby. “Look for a three-star symbol, as it means your lock is TS007 British Standard kitemark level of security.”. For extra peace of mind, she says to check your lock has anti-drill pins to provide resistance, anti-pick and anti-bump pin stacks. “With burglars often forcing locks open, these mechanisms can prevent your lock from being compromised.”.
