Your Security Is Our Priority Your security is our top priority. 40% of burglars in England and Wales gain entry through a forced door, so we've made it as hard as possible for an Anglian door to be one of those by constantly reviewing our locking systems. It's why all our external doors offer the highest level of security by being fitted with a state-of-the-art Yale kitemarked 3 star cylinder lock as standard. Every Anglian external door and fire door (except garage doors) is fitted as standard with a Yale kitemarked 3 star cylinder lock – the highest specification available. The British Standard kitemark is evidence of its high quality, a symbol that’s required by most insurers and trusted worldwide. The three stars show that the mechanism has attained the top TS007 British Standard kitemark level of security, which includes new lock snapping tests, something that not all locks achieve. The lock is covered by a 10 year guarantee for that extra peace of mind. The cylinder is also ‘Secured by Design’.
The system is built with unparalleled inner strength to protect you from the different forms of attack used by burglars, leaving your door safely locked. Anti-drill: specialised anti-drill pins in the barrel provide resistance Anti-pick: the pin stack is designed to make it impossible to pick the lock Anti-snap: special cuts allow a small section of the cylinder to be sacrificed under attack, leaving the remainder intact Anti-plug extraction: special sections snap when attacked, leaving the rest of the plug whole. The anti-snap cuts provide additional resistance Anti-bump: The pin stack design prevents even the most advanced bump keys from working The cylinders are supplied with three dual-branded Yale and Anglian dimple-cut keys as well as a key identification card should you ever wish to purchase more. You can also choose double or thumb-turn variants and a brass or chrome finish. In short, our cylinder locks take care of all your biggest security concerns so you can simply relax and enjoy your new door.

Pictures from We Do Doors On Cowboy Builders for the right reason ??? Episode 9 Oldham - Mr & Mrs Rashid When approached by Cowboy Builders and learning of the devistation that a local cowboy builder had left, we could'nt not help the Rashid family who were clearly in distress. With the whole of lower house unlivable, we did only play a small part to making the Rashid's home a safe and comfortable living space. We're glad to say that the first thing you do see is the new composite front door which we think looks great. Working with Gabby to choose the door style, we agreed to go with a new Somerset style composite front door in black. We did add a toplight which we sandblasted the door number into the glass to in keep with the traditional look. If you check out series 9 Oldham of Cowboy Builders you can see the finished result. Letter boxes / plates should be considered as an aperture which can be used by the criminal, either to extract goods from within in close proximity to the door, commonly door keys, or to work vulnerable locking devices from the inside.
Letter plates should conform to British Standard. They should be positioned not closer then 400 mm from the door lock and under no circumstances should they be fitted to the bottom rail of the door. An internal cover plate offers additional security, as does a letter basket, though you might wish to consider removing the bottom, allowing the mail to fall to the floor and thus preventing theft of the mail. A rim latch (Yale type) on its own is not sufficient. The door should also be fitted preferably with a 5 lever mortice deadlock, though insurance companies will accept a rim automatic deadlock; both must be to British Standard 3621 or the equivalent European Standard EN12209. Quality locks are only as strong as the doors and frames to which they are attached. Ensure that the frame is sound and the door suitable for external use; for instance, a wooden hollow core door would not be suitable. It should be of substantial construction, at least 44mm (13/4") thick to support the mortice lock and hung on three strong 100mm (4") hinges.
The rim latch and the mortice should be fitted 45 to 60cm (18-24") apart. In the door itself recessed or decorative panels should be a minimum of 9mm (1/3") thick. Consider fitting a London Bar (metal strip on frame side) to support the strike box, or Birmingham bar to support the frame on the hinge side. If the door is weak consider fitting a sheet steel plate or door reinforcer on the outside covering the lock area. Timber frames should be sound and securely bolted or screwed to the the walls every 600mm (23") around the whole frame. Doors with glazed panels are inherently less secure than solid doors, hence the need for a deadlock. Consider replacing ordinary or toughened glass panels with laminated glass - two pieces of glass bonded together with a sheet of laminate - as they offer much greater resistance to attack. For added safety and security fit a spy hole and door chain or limiter. These will enable you to deal with callers to your front door whilst retaining a level of security.
UPVC/PVCU front doors are generally unsuitable for retro-fit security devices. Not only is the material not strong enough to support devices fitted with steel screws unless secured into the internal metal framework, but such changes to the original design may invalidate an existing warranty or possibly damage the integral locking assembly. If in doubt, consult the installer/manufacturer. Modern designs will usually incorporate deadlock shoot bolts or a multi-point locking system, both throwing a number of bolts from the door into the frame. Under these circumstances there will not normally be any need for additional devices. Advice on front door security while the house is occupied will vary, depending on whom you speak to. Fire Safety Officers will advise that, for safety reasons, the mortice deadbolt should not be engaged when the house is occupied, as locating and engaging the key can cause unnecessary delay in escaping from the scene of a fire. Crime Prevention Officers may suggest that a rim latch on its own is insufficient in providing adequate security and that engaging the lock would increase this, as well as the safety of young children in preventing them from wandering.
Clearly these are issues which need to be considered. If you feel fire safety is the priority, additional security can be obtained by fitting draw bolts to the top and bottom of the door. The door should be fitted with a 5 lever 2 bolt mortice sash lock halfway up the door, (a deadlock with a handle for convenience). Unlike front doors, many insurance companies do not specify that they should be to British Standard 3621 or equivalent European Standard EN 12209, though the use of this standard of lock is recommended. The sash lock should be supplemented by mortice rack bolts (bolts fitted approximately 150mm (6") from the top and bottom of the door into the wood and operated internally) or surface-mounted locking bolts top and bottom. They should always be fitted at 90º to the grain of the wood, reducing the likelihood of the wood splitting if subjected to pressure. Any glass panels should be laminated and fitted from the inside to prevent the putty or beading being removed.
Grilles could also be fitted to the inside of the panels. Also known as French windows, they are intrinsically less secure than single leaf doors, which may reflect on their comparative lack of popularity as compared with the modern patio door. However, this need not be the case provided that suitable security measures are taken. Both doors should be fitted with mortice rack bolts (bolts fitted within the door and operated internally by a threaded key). They should always be fitted at 90 º to the grain of the wood, reducing the likelihood of the wood splitting if subjected to pressure. Alternatively, use surface-mounted locking bolts (push to lock, key to open). Whichever type you use, fit top and bottom to provide rigidity. If the style of door is capable of it, a mortice sash lock can be fitted for extra security (rebate sets may also be required). As most French Doors are outward opening, the addition of hinge bolts is also recommended. They should be located 100-150mm (4-6") below the top hinge and similarly above the bottom.
Note: It would be acceptable, for insurance purposes, for key operated bolts only to be fitted top and bottom of both doors. Consider replacing ordinary or toughened glass panels with laminated glass - two pieces of glass bonded together with a sheet of laminate - as they offer much greater resistance to attack. UPVC/PVCU French doors are generally unsuitable for retro-fit security devices. Entry through a patio door is a common means of entry and therefore, unless the doors are fitted with a multi-locking system, it is best to fit extra locks. These are fitted on the bottom fixed frame pushing through to the sliding frame in the centre and on the side frame at the opening point no lower than a third of the way from the top of the door. Most such locks are push to lock and key to open and are therefore easy to use. Make sure there is enough frame to fit them on if drilling is required. If in doubt, consult the installer or manufacturer. A dual screw can be fitted between both frames but it is more awkward to use, so there can be a tendency to leave it unlocked, thus defeating the object.
