For added peace of mind, composite doors at Andy Glass Windows can be installed with a unique locking system which incorporates highly secure triangulated deadbolts to prevent any unwanted intrusion – a system which has been proven under testing to be one of the most secure composite door locks currently available.
Because of their strength and high specification hardware, composite doors from Andy Glass Windows also come with guarantees from the manufacturer, covering the door’s finish construction and performance, which serves as a testament to their reliability.

Cores and Skins explained
Composite doors on the market vary in thickness from 35mm to 65mm but thickness is only one part, you need to consider the combination of high-performance composite materials. All work well to keep your home defended and comfortable all year-round, but the differences in construction result in some slightly different functions.
