UK composite door manufacturer Force 8 has called on
homeowners across the UK to make sure their properties are safe from
intruders.
Over 65 per cent of burglaries are attempted through doors and in order to beat the
crooks, Force 8 has urged people to fit stylish, intruder-proof, composite doors.
After more than 20 years in the replacement windows and doors trade, the team at
Force 8 has a wealth of knowledge about the best products on the market. And when it
comes to doors, there’s only one product that meets the firm’s high standards – the
composite door.
Managing director Dennis Sumner said: "Many people are unaware that uPVC panelled
doors are made up in two parts, similar to a window. The frame is welded together
and then a thin plastic panel is clipped in place by glazing beads.
"This panel offers no security. A few sharp kicks from a burglar makes the beads
fly out, in goes the panel and in steps the burglar."
Dennis speaks from experience. He has fitted doors for hundreds of customers who
have been the victims of crime because their previous uPVC door couldn’t withstand
pressure from a burglar.
He said: "One customer told me their uPVC back door was kicked in with alarming
ease. We fitted a composite door and he feels safer now that his property is more
secure."
Intruder-proof
The Force 8 High Security Composite Doors are manufactured from high
impact-resistant materials. The door slabs have been tested to vigorous PAS24
standards for weather tightness and enhanced security. A PAS24 certificate is the
customer’s guarantee that a composite door has passed a series of rigorous
'break-in' tests.
Each door component is evaluated, including handles, barrels, glazed panels, door
corners, the locking mechanism and the door’s surface. This makes certain that each
and every door in the stylish collection is 100 per cent intruder-proof.
These doors have been put to the test by simulating a burglary to show how much
battering they can withstand. Go to www.force8.co.uk and click on ‘beat the
burglar’ to see the results. On the same website, a second demonstration shows the
door being hit repeatedly by an FBI battering device.
Stylish collection
Each door offers six times more insulation and is available in eight woodgrain
colours and in thousands of different styles and glazing combinations. They can be
supplied as combination frames with arches, side panels and top lights. At Force 8, composite fire doors, composite stable doors and French doors are all available as well as encapsulated Venetian
blinds.
The full, extensive product range is available to view at either of Force 8's
showrooms at School Street Industrial Estate, Hazel Grove, which is open seven days
a week, or our new Altrincham showroom at 74 Park Road, Timperley.
