One of the most common entry points for unwanted guests is the front door. Therefore it is paramount that the door you choose will prevent intruders from breaking your premises. As intruders can swiftly break many standard doors, a wooden security door is a crucial investment for any business to keep both personnel and products safe from harm. In this blog post, we will look at why you should choose a wooden security door to increase the safety and security of your business. 

The Advantages of Choosing a Wooden Security Door

A wooden security door provides the final line of defence against a threat to protect onsite staff. Wooden security doors are designed and manufactured to reduce the risk of injury should an attacker use extreme force or ballistic weapons to attempt to gain entry to the premises. 

Wooden security doors can provide extensive benefits to add security to a business without compromising the look and feel of the site. The benefits include the following:

  • Customization in terms of style, thickness and windows
  • Eliminates the risk of injury: Ballistic-resistant, high-strength doors that will retain any bullets in the door structure. This prevents personnel from being injured.
  • Fiberglass core: To maintain optimal strength, the security doors are built with a fiberglass core.
  • Maintain aesthetics: These doors look like standard doors to those who are none-the-wiser, which means intruders are unlikely to be equipped to penetrate the security door.
  • Steel frame: These security doors are built with a steel frame and aluminum gear hinges to provide maximum strength.
  • Thickness customization to suit the business needs
  • Weatherproof: Although your main priority is most likely to prevent intruders, these security doors also provide protection against storms and adverse weather.

Armortex supplies five proprietary wooden security doors. Each type of door has been designed to counter direct and lateral penetration and combat ricocheting. These doors can prevent bullet penetration by retaining them within the structure of the security door and, by doing so, reduces the probability of accidental or intentional injury. 

This section will outline the five doors we provide in more detail.
