Before you book in Kingswinford

What guarantee comes with a composite door?

The door, frame, glass and hardware are covered by the manufacturer's guarantee, and the exact terms for your door are set out in your quote. Guarantees often treat colour fading, sealed units and locks differently, so it's worth reading those lines. Keep the paperwork with any certification for when you sell.

Are composite doors more secure than uPVC doors?

Composite doors are generally thicker and stiffer than uPVC panel doors, which makes them harder to force, but the lock and cylinder matter most. Ask for an anti-snap cylinder and a multi-point lock, and consider a doorset tested to PAS 24 if your insurer asks. Every security option is named in your specification, so you know exactly what's fitted.

Who approves composite doors in Kingswinford?
