Choosing the Right Security Door: Features and Installation Tips

Hello, Wollongong! Are you contemplating upgrading your home security with a new security door? It's a smart move and one that could significantly enhance not just the safety of your home, but also its curb appeal. At Bayside, we understand that choosing the right security door isn't just about picking a sturdy barrier—it's about integrating security seamlessly into your lifestyle and home aesthetics. Here’s our expert guide to help you navigate the options and ensure you make the best choice for your needs.

Essential Features of Top Security Doors

1. Material Strength and Durability: The material of your security door is paramount. Most high-quality doors are made from steel or aluminium; steel for unmatched strength and aluminium for a balance of strength and rust resistance, which is crucial in coastal areas like Wollongong.

2. Locking System: A robust locking system is critical. Look for doors with a multi-point locking system that secures the door at several points to the frame, offering increased resistance against forced entry.

3. Frame and Hinges: The door’s frame and hinges play a significant role in security. Ensure the frame is made of a strong material and is properly reinforced. Also, check that the hinges are internal or have hinge pins that are not removable to prevent the door from being lifted off its hinges.

4. Customisation Options: Security doesn’t mean compromising on style. At Bayside, we offer doors that can be customised in various designs and finishes to complement your home’s architecture and your personal taste.

Installation Tips

5. Professional Installation Matters: Even the best security door can fail if not installed correctly. Professional installation ensures that the door fits perfectly, the frames are secure, and the locks function as they should. Our experienced team at Bayside not only instals the door but also ensures that all components are optimally aligned for maximum security and functionality.

6. Compliance and Standards: In Wollongong, it's crucial to choose a door that meets Australian Standards for security. This includes aspects like impact resistance, lock security, and the ability to withstand environmental factors like corrosion, especially in our salty sea air.

7. Consider Your Needs: Think about what’s most important for your home. Is it high visibility, airflow, pet access, or all of the above? Features like mesh screens can provide visibility and airflow without compromising on security, and pet doors can be integrated without reducing the door's security features.
