These are often considered vulnerabilities that would-be intruders often scope out when looking to gain entry into a home. Making sure you opt for secure products is paramount when looking to get replacement doors and windows. Aluminium sliding doors have long been a favourite with homeowners throughout Surrey, but how safe are they?

How secure are aluminium sliding doors?

Aluminium is a strong and robust material by nature. We fit our aluminium sliding doors with a high-tech multi-point locking system to give you and your family peace of mind. The locking system is paired with anti-lift blocks and anti-jacking technology to make them almost impossible to remove from the tracks.

We feature toughened glass in our aluminium sliding doors renders them impervious to break-ins by smashing the glass. The doors have received PAS 24 accreditation, meaning they exceed the British standard for security.

What are the other benefits of aluminium sliding doors?

• Their slim sightlines allow you to fully appreciate the uninterrupted view of your outside space.
• The doors brighten up your home, giving you the feeling of increased living space.
• Make draughts a thing of the past and increase your home’s energy efficiency thanks to the high-performance gaskets. These provide a flawless seal and protection from the British elements.
• The doors are made to your exact requirements and personal taste. Adjust the configuration by selecting inline sliding or lift and slide variations, with up to 4 panels.
• Choose from a variety of colours, smooth and textured finishes and a range of handles and accessories to reflect your personality and complement your home’s character.

Are inline aluminium sliding patio doors more secure than lift & slide?

Inline and lift & slide aluminium doors will provide the same level of security for your home when the doors are closed. The only real difference between them is that lift & slide doors can be opened to your desired position and then secured into place by turning the handle 180°, which lowers the doors off their rollers.
