										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Enhanced Security with a PAS 24 Steel Doorset</h2>
<p>To meet the client&#8217;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.</p>
<p>For added assurance, Metador&#8217;s security-rated steel doorsets are accredited by <a href="https://www.securedbydesign.com/member-companies/product-category-search/product?id=0011i00000Jpw3PAAR&amp;f=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Secured by Design</a>, the official police security initiative that promotes products tested to reduce crime and improve security.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Bespoke Design to Complement the Property</h2>
<p>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 <a href="https://www.metador.com/steel-doors/special-finish-doors/decorative-groove-doors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">decorative groove</a> pattern, creating a distinctive and refined residential appearance.</p>
<p>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.</p>
