Metal Security Doors

ECONO SERIES

The lowest cost doors in our inventory are grouped in this category. These three and five-bar doors with 2 x 1 inch tubing center piece, are sturdy yet beautiful as they use varied decorative metal picket castings to add design to functionality.

Every Econo door includes a ESL slim line handle, double-cylinder deadbolt, metal frame, tempered glass and closure.

GUARDIAN SERIES

Guardian doors are similar to Econo except two one-inch and one half-inch square tubes provide a center frieze panel in the middle of the frame. The general price of these doors is only slightly more than the Econo.

Every door in the series includes a single-cylinder knob with thurmb-turn and a double-cylinder deadbolt,metal frame, tempered glass and closure with full one-inch throw (amount of penetration into the jamb).

DECORATOR SERIES

Doors in this series are similar to Guardian except a special frieze panel is afixed in the center frieze panel in in the middle of the frame.

Like the Guardian doors, the doors in the series also includes a single-cylinder knob with thurmb-turn and a double-cylinder deadbolt.

DESIGNER SERIES

Designer doors are not limited to conventional horizontal and vertical lines, but are instead designed for appearance.

The doors may include a slimline lock or a single-cylinder knob with thurmb-turn with a separate double-cylinder deadbolt.

SIGNATURE SERIES

Signature series doors are categorized by virtue of the unhindered view through the frame. They are perfect candidates for decorative borders or etching of the glass.

Doors in this category usually include a slimline lock, but are not limited to any single locking system.

FAITH SERIES

Original designs by Jim Green based on Christian themes.

The locks used in these doors are in the Premium Slimline variety in polished or antiue brass.

SECURITY
VAULT PINS - At installation, two screw pins with metal collars are inserted into the hinge-side jamb so a closed door frame closes over it. The pins discourage the forced extraction of a door from the adjoining jamb.

TORX SCREWS - Special fasteners are placed in the hinge of the door frame and through the jamb on the hings and latch side that requires a special tool to remove them.

STEEL STRIKE PLATE - A metal plate prepared for the latch and deadbolt are afixed over the mortised openings in the latch giving the deadbolt rigidity when engaged.

LOCK GUARD - Every frame includes a metal closure that overlaps the space where the latch meets the jamb. This frustrates the use of a pry bar to forcibly remove the frame from the jamb.

DEADBOLT - A bolt penetrates the latch-side jamb in order to secure a door. Obviously the greater the insertion distance and heavier the bolt, the more security is afforded the installation

STEEL Z-BAR - Optional jambs can be used that are constructed of preformed heavy-gauge steel bar. A plush weather-strip is inserted into the assembly that provides weather protection when the door rests against the metal z-bar.

NOTE - There are two primary elements of providing security. The first is DETERRENT, where something discourages someone from attempting a break-in. The second is PREVENTION and that is anything that prevents someone from actually breaking in. While metal doors provide both deterrent and a level of protection, there is no way to absolutely prevent someone from breaking into a home if they want to get in.
