A solid wooden door is probably stronger than a PVC door but I've
been told wooden doors can't have a 3 point locking system. And
wooden doors are vulnerable around the lock(s) and the wooden frames
also tend to splinter under force.


Ironmongery direct sell a 5 point locking system for wooden doors
(code AB-YWH418). It says in the catalogue that it is for "single and
double rebated doors", but the picture looks like it should fit
perfectly well to a non-rebated door. It needs a separate euro-profile
cylinder and handle and is GBP99 each.

I tried to find it on the website but couldn't, but it is definitely
in the paper catalogue. There seems to be a remnant of it online

but not the actual product.

ISTR a 3-point system in Screwfix but again cannot find it.

Umm not sure what's meant by rebated door? Can you explain?
My concern with wooden doors and frames is that the wood is weak around the lock due to the amount of wood removed to fit the
lock. Would you agree?
The Ironmongery website is due to be re-launched in June, so I'll keep an eye on it.
