Window & Door Hardware: Improving Security with Style

It can be easy to overlook your door’s hardware. Handles and locks can seem unimportant once you’ve made the big decisions such as glass types and door colour. However, the hardware on your window or door can be the finishing touch to the final look you desire, or even be the barrier between your home and potential intruders.

High-security Locking Mechanisms

There are some brilliantly secure locks on the market, tried and tested locks that even come with money guarantees if they fail to protect you and your home. Window Elegance Yorkshire offer Ultion locks as an option for your door, Ultion describe this as their ‘strongest lock ever’, offering a £5,000 guarantee to anyone that is unfortunate enough to have an intruder enter their home through the Ultion Lock.

The Ultion door lock has an additional hidden lock, acting as an extra layer of protection against intruders. The lock, encased inside a solid molybdenum core and secured with a dedicated retaining pin, is triggered when any signs of forced entry are detected.

Smart Locks for Modern Homes

In today’s modern world, there seems to be an app for everything, and home security is no exception. If you want to be able to remotely monitor and control your locks from outside of your home – then you can purchase a Smart lock from leading brands such as Kubu and Ultion.

Securing French and Bifold Doors

French and bifold doors are renowned for bringing natural light into homes and forming a seamless connection between outdoor and indoor spaces. Despite their good name, they can often be seen as vulnerable entry points by intruders due to their large glass panels and wide openings. Thankfully, there are measures available to protect these stylish doors that don’t take away from their elegant aesthetic.

One of the ways you can address the issue is to reinforce the glass. Window Elegance Yorkshire offer options for reinforced glass such as toughened or laminated. These types of glass are far harder to break than standard glazing. Laminated glass has a special layer that holds the glass together if shattered, preventing intruders from gaining easy access.

Another way you can tackle this problem is through multi-point locking systems, French and bifold doors need strong locking mechanisms to prevent forced entry. Multi-point locking systems provide one’s home with enhanced protection by ensuring the door is secured at multiple points along the frame.
