Residential Protection for Homes Across Havering
Security Doors
Security doors feature reinforced steel frames, multi-point locking systems, and anti-snap cylinders to help resist forced entry, drilling, and lock-picking. Options include timber, steel, and composite constructions, selected according to security, insulation, weight, and style requirements.
Security Screen Doors
Mesh or grille-style security screen doors provide an additional barrier while maintaining airflow and natural light. Tamper-resistant mesh helps resist cutting and tearing, with finishes available to complement existing frames.
Front Security Doors
We fit front security doors with hardened steel cores, multi-point locks, and reinforced hinges. Options include composite, steel, and timber-effect security doors, with finishes and hardware matched to the property's exterior.
Sliding Security Doors
Sliding security doors provide secure access to rear entrances and gardens. Anti-lift tracks, reinforced frames, multi-point latches, secondary bolt locks, and laminated glass panels help prevent forced entry and breakage.
Patio Security Doors
Patio security doors combine toughened or laminated glass with secure frame locking systems. Available in bi-fold and sliding configurations, they provide wide sightlines while adding tamper-resistant hardware for gardens, ground-floor flats, and shared-access properties.
Security Storm Doors
Security storm doors provide weather protection and an additional security layer. Reinforced frames with impact-resistant glass or mesh panels help protect the main entrance from forced entry, wind, rain, and debris.
Custom Security Doors
We manufacture custom security doors for irregular frames, listed buildings, and specific design requirements. Options include:
- Material: Steel, timber, composite
- Glazing: Clear, frosted, laminated
- Finish: Painted, woodgrain, powder-coated
- Locking system: Multi-point, smart lock compatibl
Security Windows
Security windows use laminated or toughened glass, reinforced frames, and multi-point locking handles for improved resistance to impact and prying. uPVC, aluminium, and timber frames are available for ground-floor rooms, side returns, and accessible windows.
Security Screen Windows
Fine-mesh security screen windows provide ventilation while helping prevent physical entry. Cutting- and tear-resistant mesh is fitted within a lockable frame, making removal from outside difficult.
Window Security Bars
Steel or wrought iron window security bars provide a visible physical barrier for basement windows, rear-facing rooms, and areas with limited natural surveillance. Fixed and removable systems are available, with removable bars offering a potential fire escape route.
Window Security Grilles
Security window grilles provide strong break-in resistance in fixed or retractable designs. Retractable grilles can open during the day and lock when required, while fixed grilles provide permanent protection. Finishes include matte black, white, and bronze.
Security Glass Windows
Security glass windows use laminated or toughened glass to improve resistance to impact, cracking, and breakage. Laminated glass holds together when struck, while toughened glass requires greater force to break. We recommend the appropriate glazing based on window location and security requirements.
Commercial Security Solutions for Havering Businesses
Commercial Security Doors
Steel and composite security doors provide reinforced entry points for offices, retail units, and industrial premises. Features include multi-point locking systems, fire-rated cores, reinforced steel frames, weather seals, and high-security hardware.
Storefront Security Doors

Roll-up security doors provide full-width protection for commercial entrances when premises are closed. Solid shutters, perforated shutters, and retractable grilles are available in steel or aluminium, with manual or electric operation.
Industrial Security Doors
Industrial security doors are designed for factories, manufacturing units, and distribution centres exposed to frequent use and heavier impact. Heavy-gauge steel panels, reinforced hinges, insulated cores, and push-bar exit mechanisms provide suitable options for demanding environments.
Warehouse Security Doors
Warehouse entrances can be secured with steel personnel doors, insulated sectional doors, and reinforced roller doors. Hardware and locking systems are selected according to traffic levels, vehicle access, forklift movement, and daily operational demands.
Commercial Security Windows
Commercial security windows combine aluminium or uPVC frames, multi-point locking systems, reinforced profiles, and anti-tamper hinges. They are suitable for offices, retail premises, and ground-floor windows where resistance to forced entry is important.
Commercial Security Glass
Laminated and toughened security glass provides protection for commercial doors, windows, and storefronts. 6.4mm laminated glass is commonly used for ground-floor applications, while thicker laminated glazing can be specified for higher-risk areas.
Commercial Window Security Bars
Steel security bars provide an additional physical barrier for windows without requiring replacement glazing. Fixed, hinged, and removable designs are available, with powder-coated finishes and individually measured fittings.
Commercial Security Grilles
Fixed and retractable security grilles help protect shopfronts, warehouses, storage areas, and internal stockrooms. Solid, lattice, mesh, and roller grilles offer different levels of coverage, visibility, airflow, and access control.
Specialist High-Security Doors, Windows & Glazing
Fire-Rated Security Doors
Fire-rated security doors combine fire-resistant cores, intumescent seals, certified hinges, door closers, and rated hardware to provide defined protection such as FD30 and FD60. They are suited to stairwells, escape routes, communal areas, and commercial fire compartments where fire separation is required.
Fire-Rated Security Windows
Fire-rated security windows use fire-resistant glazing, steel or aluminium frames, and intumescent glazing seals to help contain fire and smoke between building compartments. Typical applications include internal partitions, corridors, escape routes, and areas requiring protected fire separation, with ratings commonly ranging from 30 to 120 minutes.
High-Security Doors
High-security doors combine reinforced steel or composite panels, multi-point locking systems, anti-pick cylinders, reinforced hinges, and steel frames for enhanced resistance to unauthorised entry. They are suitable for homes, retail premises, offices, and commercial buildings where stronger access protection is required.
Forced-Entry-Resistant Doors
Forced-entry-resistant doors are constructed to withstand impact, kicking, ramming, prying, and lock attacks through reinforced panels and internal strengthening. Hardened strike plates, anti-drill cylinders, and deeply anchored frames provide additional protection for ground-floor entrances, plant rooms, and secure storage areas.
Ballistic Security Doors
Ballistic security doors use armoured steel, composite materials, and layered construction to absorb or deflect projectile impact according to recognised ballistic classifications. Reinforced frames and heavy-duty hinges support these systems in security control rooms, cash-handling areas, and other high-risk environments.
Bullet-Resistant Doors
Bullet-resistant doors are specifically tested against firearm impact under recognised UK and European ballistic standards, with ratings defining their protective performance. Structural anchoring, reinforced frames, and bullet-resistant glass vision panels can be incorporated into doors for jewellers, cash-handling facilities, institutional buildings, and higher-risk sites.
Bullet-Resistant Windows
Bullet-resistant windows use laminated security glass, multiple interlayers, polycarbonate, and reinforced framing to resist or slow projectile penetration. They provide protective glazing for reception areas, security counters, high-value retail premises, and buildings identified through formal risk assessments.
Blast-Resistant Doors
Blast-resistant doors are engineered to manage explosive overpressure, structural loading, and the negative pressure phase using reinforced steel construction and specialised frame anchoring. These systems are used for industrial facilities, hazardous-material sites, high-risk infrastructure, and buildings requiring blast protection, often with structural engineering input.
Blast-Resistant Windows
Blast-resistant windows combine laminated glazing, reinforced frames, secure anchoring, and pressure-resistant construction to help keep glass within the frame during an explosion. They are suited to industrial and petrochemical facilities, government buildings, public-sector sites, and locations identified through security or safety assessments.

Project Timeline & Milestones
- Initial assessment: Site inspection, measurements, and requirements
- Design & specification: Finishes, glazing, hardware, and security ratings confirmed
- Manufacturing: Typically 3–5 weeks, depending on product complexity
- Installation: Usually completed within 1–5 days
- Final checks: Quality inspection, snagging, and handover
Installation dates are confirmed in advance and again 48 hours before work begins.
Inspection, Measurement & Assessment
We begin with a 45–90-minute site inspection in Havering. Our team checks existing openings, structural condition, insulation, security requirements, and any relevant council or insurance specifications.
We take precise measurements and document the site to identify issues such as uneven frames or non-standard sizing before manufacturing. Your written quote covers frames, glazing, hardware, and labour.
Design & Planning
After the assessment, we finalise your product specification, including finishes, colours, glazing, hardware, security ratings, composite doors, and reinforced steel configurations.
Design decisions are typically confirmed within 3–5 working days. Before manufacturing, we provide a written design summary for final approval. Once the order is placed, changes to sizing or major specifications may no longer be possible.
Security Door & Window Costs and Pricing
What Affects Cost?
Several factors influence the cost of security doors and windows:
- Materials: Steel, composite and aluminium offer different levels of strength, insulation and durability.
- Size and configuration: Single doors, double doors and bespoke window frames require different specifications.
- Security rating: Reinforced frames, multi-point locking systems and anti-snap cylinders can increase costs.
- Glazing: Double or triple glazing affects security, thermal efficiency and price.
- Design: Fixed grilles, retractable grilles and up-and-over security doors vary in complexity.
- Site conditions: Removing existing frames, repairing openings and making structural adjustments can increase installation time.
Older Havering properties may require additional preparation before installation.
How Much Do Security Doors and Windows Cost?
Steel security doors typically start from £199.99 + VAT, with the final cost based on dimensions, frame construction, locking system and security specification.
Product Type | Typical Starting Price (ex. VAT) |
|---|---|
Steel security door | £199.99+ |
Composite door | Varies by design |
Fixed security grille | Quoted per opening |
Up-and-over security door | Quoted per project |
Double-glazed security window | Quoted per unit |
Budget Planning
Allow a 10–15% contingency for potential frame repairs, structural adjustments or unforeseen site work. For multiple openings, installations can be phased, prioritising main entrances and other vulnerable access points.
Certified security products may also support insurance requirements or potential discounts, depending on your policy.
Professional Installation vs Alternatives
Professional fitting ensures security doors and windows are installed to the manufacturer's specifications, helping maintain their intended security performance, warranty and weather sealing.
DIY kits and non-rated alternatives may provide less reliable forced-entry resistance, locking performance and durability. Proper installation also supports thermal efficiency and long-term performance.
Hidden Costs & Additional Considerations
Additional costs may include:
- Removal and disposal of existing doors or window frames
- Structural repairs or alterations to openings
- Planning requirements for listed buildings or conservation areas
- Access equipment for upper-floor installations
- VAT where applicable
We identify relevant costs in the quotation to help prevent unexpected charges.
Financing & Payment Options
We offer staged payment options for larger projects, typically a deposit followed by a balance on completion.
For customers financing multiple installations, we can discuss instalment plans depending on project scope. Some manufacturers we work with also offer interest-free credit periods, subject to status and application.
We recommend confirming payment terms in writing before work starts, including deposit amounts and final payment triggers. This keeps both parties clear on obligations throughout the installation timeline.

What Our Customers Say About Our Work
"Had our front door done after a couple of break-ins on our road. Dave and his mate turned up at 8 and were gone before lunch. Door looks great and honestly feels like a vault. Couldn't fault them."
Claire Donnelly
Havering
"They did the shopfront for my café and worked around our hours so we didn't have to close. Big improvement, the place looks so much brighter and I feel a lot better locking up at night. Would use again."
Mark Ashworth
Brentwood
"Didn't even know lock snapping was a thing until my neighbour got broken into. Rang them on the Monday, had new locks on all 3 doors by Wednesday. Quick, cheap and the lad explained everything without making me feel daft. 5 stars."

Frequently Asked Questions About Security Solutions
Steel security doors offer the highest level of resistance to forced entry for most homes. They combine a solid steel core with reinforced frames and multi-point locking, making them harder to breach than standard composite or timber doors. For properties with specific risk factors, we also fit doors with anti-drill and anti-snap cylinder locks as an added layer of protection.
Yes, our security doors meet PAS 24 requirements, and a number of our products carry Secured by Design accreditation. These standards are set to confirm that a door can withstand physical attack methods commonly used in break-ins. We can provide documentation for certification on request, which is useful for insurance purposes.
Steel and composite security doors generally last between 20 and 35 years with proper maintenance. uPVC security windows have a similar lifespan, though the sealed units within double glazing may need replacing sooner if condensation develops between the panes. We recommend annual checks on hinges, locks, and seals to keep the security features performing as intended.
A multi-point locking system is the most important feature, as it secures the door at several points along the frame rather than just one. Anti-snap cylinders protect against a common method used to force standard locks. Reinforced frames and hinge bolts add further resistance to kicking or leverage attacks. We also recommend laminated or toughened glass where a door includes glazing, since this prevents easy access if the glass is struck.
Security doors can be customised in colour, finish, and panel design to suit period or modern properties. We offer a range of woodgrain effects, solid colours, and decorative glazing options that maintain the security specification while fitting the look of your home. Hardware such as handles, letterboxes, and knockers can also be selected to match existing fittings on your property. We discuss these options during the initial consultation so the final door meets both your security needs and appearance preferences.
