smetanaDear forum members,
We would like to install new solid doors (e.g., steel) in the basement rooms.
Fire doors are easy to break through, so they do not provide real protection.
What we are looking for:
- simple but highly secure interior doors
- plus a basement exterior door that must be extremely secure.
The main purpose is burglary protection, to prevent unauthorized entry into or within the house.
- thermal insulation is not necessary
- galvanized / corrosion protection is sufficient
- Who manufactures simple but heavy, solid steel doors?
Since we have already had unwanted visitors before, the doors should be as solid as possible.
The costs should not be excessive, so we are looking for very basic but extremely sturdy doors (e.g., with thick sheet metal, hardened).
Who can help us with this?
Thank you and best regards!

Hello
Well, that sounds like an expensive vault door you want to have.
Furthermore, the sheet metal thickness is not the most important factor; the door frame and locking mechanisms are more crucial.
Another option that works is to take a standard basement door and install two additional armored bolts on it. It can be a bit inconvenient to unlock them, but it provides a good sense of security. These bolts can also be opened from the outside with a key, so a burglar might see them and simply move on to the neighbor's...

Although it may sound a bit unusual, effective burglary protection can be a heavy roller shutter in front of the door. A lowered roller shutter is harder to break through than it might seem. Additionally, a metal or aluminum roller shutter makes a lot of noise when tampered with.
Behind the roller shutter, I would install an inexpensive side entrance door with a multi-point locking system. It can definitely be made of plastic; the quality of the fittings is what really matters.
Any obstacle can eventually be overcome, but usually intruders lose motivation if it doesn’t happen quickly enough.
