Importance of Enhanced Security – How Secure are Aluminium Windows & Doors?
Keeping the people we love safe is something we all want. Whether it’s children, partners or elderly relatives, we naturally want our homes to feel secure and well-protected.
Since windows and doors are the most common access points for intruders, investing in strong, high-quality systems isn’t a luxury; it’s a vital step in safeguarding your property and everyone in it.
Upgrading to modern aluminium windows and doors could be one of the smartest changes you make to improve your home security.
Aluminium Doors & Windows: Strong, Secure, and Guaranteed Protection
When comparing aluminium with uPVC, the difference quickly becomes clear. Aluminium is much stronger and more reliable, yet still lightweight enough for slim frames and wide panes of glass.
It doesn’t warp or discolour like uPVC and once installed it requires very little upkeep. With a lifespan measured in decades and full recyclability, it is also the more sustainable option for your home.
That strength really pays off when it comes to security. Endurance Aluminium doors are fitted with ABS Master locking cylinders, designed to resist snapping, drilling and picking, so you know your home is well protected.
On top of that, many of our doors come with a £2,000 Security Guarantee. If someone breaks in by snapping the ABS Master lock within 10 years of installation, you could be eligible for compensation. All you need to do is activate the guarantee within 28 days of fitting and keep the lock maintained using the recommended method.
This is the kind of assurance you won’t get with standard uPVC doors. Choosing aluminium means choosing strength, style and long-term peace of mind.
Key Security Features: PAS 24 Certified Protection
Aluminium windows and doors are engineered with features that work together to create a safer home. Internally beaded glazing ensures the glass pane is secured from the inside, making it virtually impossible for an intruder to remove it from outside.
The glazing itself is toughened as standard, giving it much greater resistance to impact while also providing everyday protection for your family. Strong aluminium frames hold firm under pressure, resisting warping and cracking that can affect other materials over time.
All products are tested to meet the PAS 24 British Standard. This certification demonstrates resistance to forced entry and confirms compliance with the high security benchmarks set out in UK building regulations.
For extra protection, our doors also feature multipoint locking systems. Instead of relying on a single lock, the door engages several points around the frame, distributing pressure more evenly and making forced entry far more difficult.
Combined, these features offer a complete, dependable security package that gives homeowners total confidence.
Certified Security Standards: PAS 24 & Part Q Approved
When you choose Endurance Aluminium doors and windows, you’re investing in products that go further than basic safety. They meet both EU Building Regulation Part Q and PAS 24 standards, proving their performance against modern burglary methods.
Part Q sets out the mandatory requirements for the security of doors and windows in new residential properties. Since 2015, it has required that easily accessible openings, such as ground-floor doors and windows, be properly reinforced and fitted with secure hardware to withstand forced entry.
PAS 24 builds on this by subjecting products to rigorous, real-world testing. Frames, locks and glazing are all challenged with tools such as hammers, chisels and crowbars to ensure they can withstand an attempted break-in.
By meeting both Part Q and PAS 24, Endurance Aluminium products not only comply with building regulations but also demonstrate a higher level of protection, designed to stand up to determined intruders.
