swing and slide door with white frame

Burglaries are devastating.

There’s the physical destruction of having your home intruded on by strangers, a mess made, entrances broken and the emotional turmoil that follows.

It can have a coinciding effect of anxiety on those whose homes have been burgled and feelings of despair from losing expensive or sentimental items.

A recent increase in burglaries in the UK has created a desperate need for extra protection to your homes.

Although burglaries are nowhere near as bad as in he 90s, ONS show that there has been a rise of 32 per cent of domestic burglaries in the UK in 2017 at a frightening number of 261,915.

We need to make sure we’re locking up when we leave the house, keeping burglars out.

And the best way to do this? Through the access routes – your doors and windows.

Without simple protection, like also leaving a light on when you leave, you are five times more likely to be burgled by having an unprotected home.

Making sure you have adapted secure window locks and strong door deadlocks is a complete step in the right direction to ensuring safety for you and your family.

The swing and slide patio doors we provide here at The Profix Group use a safety-focused locking system of the two-hook, latch and deadbolt as standard.

The swing and slide doors are tested and certified to PAS 23/24, also manufactured and installed under ISO 9001 2015 accreditation.

Not only do our doors have an efficient locking system that help to defy the break in of burglars, the mechanism and system of the doors provides extra safety.

As well as security, our swing and slide doors allow you to bring the outdoors indoors.

Welcoming natural light to brighten your room and better ease of access to your garden, more space utilisation is created by these innovatively designed, panelled doors.

Back to burglar busting – unlike standard bifold doors, the mechanisms from each of our swing and slide panels lock into each other throughout the length of the doors.

They are bolted into the track/head and there is little to no flex, offering extra security, safety and peace of mind (https://www.swingandslide.co.uk/product-details/).

When the whole door system is closed, you simply lock the master door through the extra secure locking system and the entire system is aided in protection from unwelcome visitors – thieves.

Ideal for the purposes of modern style and security, our swing and slide doors can give you the satisfaction of a beautiful design for your home, with ultimate security.

*Please note that no door is completely burglar-proof however, ours ensure better prevention than others on the market which are not security accredited.*
