The armored door is a security door appreciated for its qualities of its resistance. In a time when burglaries are increasingly feared, the armored door constitutes an incomparable security asset. Here’s how to choose it.
The armored door guarantees you unparalleled security with a standard door. A guarantee of reliability, it is more robust and resistant to break-in attempts, which makes it possible to discourage possible burglars. Indeed, studies show that on average, after three minutes, a thug goes away on his own if he has not managed to enter your home.
There are two types of armored door:
⦁ The armored door unit, by far the most efficient solution. Real block, the door and its frame are one. Very resistant, this type of door is almost inviolable. However, the installation requires substantial work where it is necessary to be meticulous. Going through a professional is more than recommended. Another drawback, the armored door unit is almost only available in series,
⦁ An already existing standard door which is subsequently armored. For this an armored frame is added. More economical and simple to install, this solution has clearly less resistance than that offered by an armored door unit. It remains a solution in cases where it is impossible to modify the installation.
Au-delà du type de porte blindée que vous choisirez, la sécurité offerte par une telle porte dépend de :
⦁ Installation of the door. The more seriously and precisely it is carried out, the higher the security offered by your armored door,
⦁ The armored lock. Be particularly vigilant on this point! The lock is as much a security factor as the door itself. Upon acquisition, your armored door unit must be equipped with an A2P lock, which is designed to resist break-ins. This certification displays from one to three stars, which indicate the resistance of the lock to an attempted break-in. A star represents five minutes, two stars for ten minutes and three for a quarter of an hour,
⦁ Likewise, if you armor an already existing door, opt for the installation of an A2P certified lock.
⦁ The certification of your armored door unit. Choose a certification issued by the National Center for Prevention and Protection, a guarantee of quality. Your armored door unit will then be classified from AP2 PB1 to AP2 PB3 according to its characteristics.
