[IMG: Wooden Door Vs UPVC DOOR]

Its the age old question, whats better to better for my house, ye old classic wooden door or the mighty modern UPVC Door? Many of my customers ask me this so here are my thoughts.
Battle 1. Maintenance.
Wooden Door: A wooden door requires sanding and painting every few years or it will eventually become victim to moisture and begin to swell up and require sanding.If looked after, it can last a life time. If not looked after, it can go down hill pretty quick. On the plus side, if you scratch a wooden door, you can simply use a bit of filler and paint to go over the scratch or dig.
UPVC Door: A UPVC door requires no care and attention other than a regular clean but nothing as daunting as painting it. However, UPVC doors generally fall victim to heat and tend to swell in the summer, this sometimes causes the door to drop if it has panels as the panels have packers fitted in tightly around them, but over the years, a combination of the door swelling and shrinking, and the door being slammed can make the packers move about and cause the door to drop. Equally, the hinges which are adjustable can very slowly move out of position also causing the door to drop. Therefore, if you dont know how to maintain your door, it may look nice with little attention needed, but you will have to adjust it once in a while to keep it in check.
Verdict. Winner is the Wooden door.
Battle 2. Security.
Wooden Door: Normally fitted with 2 x locks. A Nightlatch and a Mortice Deadlock. This door has 2 x locks that need to be opened in order to enter. Mortice locks are very well designed and only a well trained locksmith can get you through one of these. However, not many people tend to use their mortice lock of a night leaving their door vulnerable. However, a burglar from the outside cannot tell if this lock is on or not. They will probably look for another way to gain entry because it will be too noisy.
UPVC Door: Fitted with a multipoint lock normally consisting of 3 to 7 locking points that fire into the frame once the lever handle is operated. If the key is turned to the locked position, the handle cannot be pulled down again and the door is secure. If a burglar was to test your handle on the outside of the door, and he finds that the handle does not pull down, he knows that the lock is on and he may as well look for another entrance. However, if the lever has not been lifted and the door is not fully locked, the burglar may be able to determine if the locking mechanism is fired, because the handle will be floppy on the outside. As the material of the door is

Guide to Insurance Approved Locks
Your home insurance will be void without approved locks

[H4] Insurance approved locks
Did you know that if you have home insurance, then it is very likely that somewhere in your insurers terms and conditions, they have probably specified that you should have an insurance approved lock fitted to every external door leading into your home – Front and back!  Also, your windows should have key operated locks too.  And if you do not satisfy these requirements, then in the unfortunate event of a burglary, your insurance will be void and you will not be refunded for any contents that are damaged or stolen.
Unfortunately, the subject of Insurance Approved Locks is a very grey area and is always a topic for debate, as all of our homes are unique and have different doors and layouts. Therefore, trying to satisfy your insurer’s requirements can be difficult. And when you decide to call your insurance company and enquire about this, you are only ever going to be able to speak with a customer services advisor or an administrator who has no idea about locks and can only repeat the information they have in front of them regarding the requirements of their employer about their take on Insurance Approved Locks.
An Insurance Approved Lock is a mortice lock that has been stringently tested and is regarded as a high security lock that meets a particular standard. The lock will normally have an anti drill plate, have anti saw bolts running through the deadbolt and have what is known as a curtain fitted in the key way, which makes the lock difficult to pick. To confirm this, it will carry the British Standard Kite mark symbol which means it is approved to BS3621. If you are unsure about your locks, then ask a locksmith to clarify this.
[H4] UPVC & Aluminium Doors
If you do not have a wooden door that you can fit a British Standard lock to, then you may have a UPVC door which has a multipoint lock, or an Aluminium door that either has a multipoint lock or a mortice lock. This is where the subject of British
Standard Insurance Approved Locks becomes a topic for debate.
Some aluminium doors are old and may only have a lock that operates a deadbolt in the middle and does not conform to British Standard. But because the door is old and made from aluminium, it is difficult to find a lock that conforms to British standard and
can replace your existing lock.
Also the majority of multipoint locks fitted in a UPVC Door have a 3 point locking system, but do not have a British Standard kite mark on them. Therefore, you are a little stuck if your insurers have specified in their terms and conditions that a British Standard Insurance Approved Lock is required. How are you meant to know?
The good news is that some insurers do specify that a 3 point lock will satisfy their requirements. This is good news if you have a UPVC door with a multipoint lock. However, if you have a aluminium door or sliding patio door, then it is likely that you do not have a British Standard lock or a 3 point locking mechanism. The solution for this is to fit additional locks to the top and bottom of your door. This will normally satisfy their requirements.
The information above is only given to help assist you in making a decision about whether the locks on your home will meet your insurer’s requirements, and will hopefully remove some of the stress involved in making that decision.  It is only to be used as a guide. Please always check with your insurer to clarify that your home insurance complies with their requirements for insurance approved locks.

[IMG: Useful Facts About Locks & Home Security]

You are ten times more likely to be burgled if you don’t have basic security – even something as simple as putting strong locks on doors and windows will keep your house much safer.
The cylinder on a UPVC Door that you operate with your key is otherwise known as a Euro Profile Cylinder and should be fitted into the door so that there is no more than 5mm maximum sticking out either side of your handles. This not only looks better appearance wise but makes the door more secure and less vulnerable to burglary.
When a double glazed unit mists up, it can easily be replaced and does not mean that you have to replace the entire window frame.
If you have a wooden door, most insurance companies will require you to have a British Standard 5 lever Deadlock fitted or your contents may not be covered. Make sure you check with your insurance company in order to avoid disappointment.
