Standard doors don’t protect anything. Wood gets kicked in. Hollow doors barely slow anyone down. You deserve better.
Steel doors change everything. The gauge steel we use is significantly thicker than standard options—when someone tries to force entry, they’re met with a barrier that won’t budge. Most potential intruders see a steel door and move on to easier targets.
The energy savings are substantial too. Proper weatherstripping and insulation cores prevent drafts that force your HVAC system to work overtime. Many homeowners find their steel door pays for itself through reduced heating and cooling costs over just a few years.

Quality steel doors maintain appearance and function for decades, which is why they often increase home resale value—buyers recognize the long-term benefit and superior security.
