Hi
I'm going to get a new front door. I need it to be a good secure one but also I have a limited budget. A steel front door and frame costs the earth. I've been quoted £2000+ which is too much. A PVC door and frame vary a lot in price but also in security. They typically have a 3 point locking system (which is a good thing) but I'm not sure just how strong a 'plastic' front door is? Anyone ever had a break-in via a PVC front door? 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. Any comments or advice very much appreciated! Regards Andy |
