In 2023/2024 there were 181,617 home burglaries reported in England and Wales (Office of National Statistics). That’s an average of 498 burglaries a day. In a world where personal safety and property security are becoming increasingly important, many homeowners are looking for effective ways to protect their families and homes.


Security entrance doors have emerged as a popular and effective solution. At Horizons Group, we’re proud to launch a brand new product line: Security Entrance Doors manufactured by Security Doors Factory and expertly supplied and installed by Horizons.



Enhancing Home Security and Peace of Mind

Security entrance doors boast advanced security features that significantly elevate protection levels compared to traditional doors. Made from tough materials including mild and galvanised steel, MTX Board and Medite Tricoya Board in a single door, they resist forced entry effectively.


Many security doors also come with multi-point locking systems. These locks secure the door at multiple points along the frame, which makes unauthorised entry substantially more difficult.


Ultimately, one of the most significant benefits of security entrance doors is the peace of mind they offer. Knowing that your home is equipped with a strong security measure allows for a more relaxed living environment.


This feeling of security enhances your overall well-being, letting you enjoy life without the constant worry of potential threats. Homeowners who invest in security doors often report a sense of comfort and safety that positively influences their quality of life.

Every Home Can Benefit from Security Entrance Doors from Horizons



1. Top-Tier Protection & Peace of Mind

Security doors installed by Horizons and manufactured by Security Doors Factory offer several purpose built models. Grade 3 Security Doors, Grade 4 Security Doors, and Pivot Security Doors, designed to withstand modern intrusion techniques while maintaining sleek aesthetics.


Grade 3 Security Doors deliver reinforced protection that significantly surpasses standard front doors, making them ideal for most residential environments.


Grade 4 Security Doors take it a step further, offering even stronger resistance - perfect for homeowners demanding maximum defence.


Pivot Security Doors offer not only high security but also dramatic architectural appeal with a pivot hinge providing striking contemporary installation options.


All these models feature multi-layer steel construction and heavy duty frames, often paired with fire resistant insulation to maximise durability and safety


Together with advanced multi-point locking systems, reinforced hinges, and tamper-resistant hardware, these features ensure that your entrance door becomes a formidable barrier—even to skilled intruders.

2. No Compromise on Style & Kerb Appeal


The available styles encompass classic timber look finishes, contemporary solids, and design focused profiles like the striking pivot door layout. This means whether your home is a charming period property or a modern architectural marvel, there’s a matching aesthetic that also delivers serious protection.







3. Energy Efficiency & Weather Resistance

Beyond security, Security Doors Factory models include fire‑resistant insulation cores, which naturally improve thermal retention. The tight fitting reinforced frames also reduce draughts, helping your home stay warmer in winter and cooler in summer. These energy-saving features can noticeably lower heating bills and contribute to a more sustainable household.


Furthermore, the solid steel build and certified finishes protect against the UK’s varied weather, be it damp, wind, or sunlight exposure, helping avoid warping, rust, or finish degradation over years.



4. Durable, Long-Lasting Investment

While standard doors may need replacing every 10–15 years, Security Doors Factory’s robust models are built for decades of reliable use. The combination of steel-reinforced construction, factory applied durable finishes and engineered cores ensures minimal wear from weather or frequent opening. This means lower lifetime costs and sustained performance, making it a smart, long-term investment.



5. Increase in Property Value

Investing in a door that blends high grade security with refined design sends a clear message to prospective buyers - it’s a home cared for, secure, and efficient. A single, double or sleek pivot door is a tangible asset: it offers visible curb appeal, added energy credentials, and the reassurance of certified security. These features can elevate both listing performance and perceived value when you come to sell.
