How Can Bifold Doors Be More Secure?

At Panoramic, we have supplied industry standard bifold doors for over 40 years. The bifold doors have many benefits, for instance, enhanced thermal efficiency and let in plenty of natural light. This can save money on your heating and energy bills. But how can your doors be more secure? Read on to find out more.

We believe that security is at the forefront of your home. This is because no one wants their home to be ransacked by intruders, so our modern bifold doors have plenty of measures to keep you and your loved ones safe. There are many ways your bifold door’s security can be bolstered in the long run.

If you don’t want to put your home at risk, you can choose a multi point locking system for your door. These bolts operate on the bottom track at the turn of a key. An intruder or anyone who doesn’t have a key won’t be able to open it, ensuring that you and your family will stay secure for many years. It will fix your home shut in comparison to a single locking system which leaves your home more vulnerable to burglars.

You can also benefit from the concealed lock in points which help the door become fixed shut. We offer a choice of how these locks can be fitted, for example, on the face of the door. Or, if you want to give your door a more aesthetically pleasing look, you can have the lock concealed inside for a smoother finish.

When you choose a bifold door, the glass is the weakest material because it is very easy for burglars to break through. As a result, you can choose from a range of toughened or patterned glass which will keep your home more thermally efficient, but also toughened glass is up to 5 times stronger than standard glass. So, you can feel confident that your home will stay protected for much longer.

Another method that will help keep your bifold doors secure is the inclusion of internal beading. This will ensure that intruders will not be able to break off the beads in the door, which will make it easier for the glass to open. This way, your home will be much safer, giving you and your family peace of mind.

You can even opt for advanced double or triple glazing, which will help you and your home’s thermal efficiency. This is because it traps natural heat inside your home, leaving cold air outside. Double glazing is very sturdy and weatherproof, so your bifold door won’t crack, warp, or fade in violent conditions. But what’s more, it will also help in dealing with robust knocks from intruders, so you and your family can stay safe and sound. Double glazing will save you money in the long run because it is both airtight and watertight, meaning that cold air and pockets of water will not be able to seep through. You will save money on repairs and experience a warmer living space. Double glazing will also help the frames overlap with the glass, making it near impossible for a break in to happen.

The doors come with deadbolts which come as standard. They can be operated with a key or a locking mechanism, so you are the only person who is in control of them. For those with a growing family, you even have the option of installing child proof locks as well, which is a sensible option if you want to keep your children safe. They come in a wide range of options, which include top mountain locks that will prevent the doors from being opened.

You can even go for security screens which can help you identify if a burglar is coming through the door. This will help you keep a close watch if your door is being tampered with. Alternatively, laminate glass is impact resistant, so it will protect you from the worst the weather can throw at it. Additionally, you can even go for a burglar alarm which will activate if an unwanted criminal tries to open the door. This will help boost your doors’ security.

We hope that this article has helped you find ways to make your bifold door more secure. As a result, you and your family can enjoy your living space for much longer.
