Faced with an ageing doorset that no longer met the security demands of the property, the building owners required a replacement that could provide enhanced protection without compromising visual appeal. Metador supplied a bespoke PAS 24-rated steel doorset, delivering both increased security and a design sympathetic to the character of the residential country property.
Enhanced Security with a PAS 24 Steel Doorset
To meet the client’s security requirements, the doorset was manufactured with heavy-duty 1.5mm galvanised steel door leaves, a heavy-duty 2mm galvanised steel frame and a large, high-security vision panel incorporated into the upper section of the door. The doorset was specified to PAS 24, the UK-recognised standard for enhanced security performance in residential applications, designed to resist opportunistic burglary attempts.
For added assurance, Metador’s security-rated steel doorsets are accredited by Secured by Design, the official police security initiative that promotes products tested to reduce crime and improve security.
Bespoke Design to Complement the Property
While security was a key project requirement, aesthetics were also important. To complement the traditional style of the property, the doorset was enhanced with a Victorian-inspired decorative groove pattern, creating a distinctive and refined residential appearance.
Powder-coated in-house to RAL 7032 Pebble Grey, the doorset perfectly matched the recently installed windows, whilst delivering a high-quality, durable finish suitable for external use.
Combining Security and Style
This project demonstrates how modern steel doorsets can provide enhanced security performance while integrating seamlessly with residential environments. By combining PAS 24 security certification with bespoke design features and premium finishes, Metador delivered a solution that offers both peace of mind and lasting visual appeal.
Whether for residential properties, mixed-use developments or communal entrances, our PAS 24 steel doorsets can be tailored to meet specific security, performance and architectural requirements.
