Changing To Composite
There is nothing more worrying than getting a phone call telling you the alarm at the garage has gone off in the middle of the night. Arriving 30 minutes later it didn’t take long to see where the entry point was, the metal roller shutter was prised open and the white PVC door looked smashed in.
Luckily it had stopped there, for whatever reason the person concerned did not get any further, of if he had, never took anything. Coming back later in the morning, it became apparent that the metal shutter by itself was not strong enough and we would have to look at making the PVC door stronger, or replacing it. This is the time I learn about composite doors something I had never heard of before. It seems these composite doors are made around solid wood frame with sturdier insides than the PVC versions, so entering is harder, even fo the professional. Watching videos on you tube, convinced me that these composite doors are the way to go, after watching a burglar smash in a PVC door in seconds.
The composite door was purchased from Global, who had it delivered 3 days later and I got my mate to fit it. the roller shutter was repaired and had been fixed the first night. The results is hopefully a more secure office, especially as we have added a camera and light above the door also, so even of they try to get in, hey will be on TV. Lets see how much the insurance company pays out.
