Designer handles are here

We love the finer things in life here at Secure House, and that applies to the finer details of our product range, right down to designer handles for aluminium security doors and windows. As such, we’re delighted to announce that we are now offering four brand new, aesthetically-pleasing designer handle ranges for you to choose from by the experts at Reynaers.

Designer handles to complement any door

Designer architectural handles

These new designer handles perfectly complement the style and design of each and every one of the Reynaers’ beautiful slim-line aluminium doors and windows.

And these particular doors and windows continue to prove to be very popular with many of our clients.

Manufactured using a next generation material combined with individual designer input from Italian designer, Leo De Carlo, formerly of Philippe Starck, each of the designer handle ranges offers a huge variety of different styles and colours.

There really is something for everyone to suit every taste. De Carlo has cleverly captured both Venetian architectural style and unique design to create the PuRity designer range, for example.

Exclusive and luxurious

Employing a new material called Pura™, for which Reynaers have exclusive international rights to use in handles, it is manufactured in accordance with the Biov™ (Bioecologic Ion Overlay) process to create non-toxic variant of stainless steel. As part of the overall process to create this very luxurious finish, chromium particles are removed and the resulting material delivers an extremely tactile feel.

Using this particular material ensures that each of the handles is non-corrosive, hypoallergenic, easy to clean and 100% recyclable. It is also worth noting that, if required, we can offer an anti-bacterial option for added hygiene, comfort and peace of mind for anyone who uses the door handle.

Spoilt for choice

Having viewed the entire range in the showroom, we think you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to the available colours as well as design. Sapphire black, moonlight and lithium all form part of the standard range but there are six other options on request that we know will tempt. These extra special options include gold, obsidian, renaissance gold, polaris, eclipse and Belgian chocolate each of which will bring to life any doors or windows.

What’s more, the designer handles are very quick and easy to install on the aluminium doors and windows and they don’t require any screw or bolts. This means that they can provide a fast transformation to add that designer touch.

Exceeding expectations

So, if you’re looking for top quality, style and substance when it comes to the finer details for your aluminium security doors and windows, this new range of designer handles will tick all the boxes and exceed your expectations.

If you’d like to view any of these new designer door handles or find out information relating to any of our door furniture and bespoke ironmongery ranges, please don’t hesitate to contact any of the Secure House team on 0207 8594207 or email: info@secure-house.co.uk

 

security shutters for sports centres

Enhancing sports centre security with built-in shutters

Here at Secure House, we have many years of experience in protecting homes, commercial property and a wide variety of public and community buildings such as sports centres and facilities.

Sadly, vandalism and criminal damage are commonplace in many of our towns and cities and, with thousands of pounds being spent to repair the results of such anti-social behaviour, prevention has to be better than cure. That’s why we have developed a comprehensive range of security shutters to suit every budget and any project, be it commercial or residential.

First line of defence

Shutters are the first line of defence against intruders, so it is no surprise that they are specified for installation on the majority of both new and existing commercial properties nowadays. One such example is the enhancement of security at Claygate Pavilion located on the outskirts of London.

Subjected to repeated random attacks by vandals over the years, the original Claygate Pavilion was sadly burnt down in 2016. Locals quickly launched a fundraiser to raise money to get a new pavilion built. Their efforts were rewarded when a new, larger pavilion was constructed and opened its doors in 2021.

Using built-in shutters to prevent criminal damage

As outlined above, the community felt that preventing any future criminal damage to the building was key so it was agreed that security measures must be a key part of the pavilion. This was to include, amongst other items, built-in shutters that could be quickly and easily deployed when the building was not in use and overnight.

After an initial approach, our technical and design teams made a couple of visits to the site to discuss the best possible solution for ensuring the pavilion was protected and vandalism deterred.

Built-in shutters provide protection

Following consultations with the architect and construction firm, we opted to install built-in, high security shutters fabricated from steel to provide the ultimate level of protection. There was no compromise on quality and, at the same time, the shutters would also create a modern and aesthetically pleasing finish that would be welcomed by visitors and those who work in the pavilion.

The particular shutters we selected include a structural steel lintel within the product that ensures a seamless finish. Roll size is also minimised thanks to the overall design. What’s more, the shutters are very easy to operate and open and close with minimal sound since they are coated with a special polymer that sees the shutter glide smoothly into position.

Compact and aesthetically pleasing shutters

Since the shutter is much more compact that its standard counterparts, it was the ideal choice for the pavilion as it could be integrated easily within the new structure of the building. This also makes for a much more aesthetically pleasing overall finish which actually enhances the pavilion from an external perspective.

Results

The Claygate Pavilion is once again a much-loved and much-used community sporting venue, and it is fully protected against vandals and criminals.

On-trend door colours

Choosing a new front door should be fun. And a big part of that fun has to be choosing an on-trend door colour. That might simply be your favourite colour, a colour that suits your personality or even a colour that complements your home’s location.

Either way, here at Secure House we have a whole host of different coloured doors available, all of which are available in matt, gloss and high gloss finishes to really make your final choice stand out. You can even choose your own bespoke colour if you wish, we’re that flexible!

Here are a few of our favourite colours. Which one is your favourite?

Anthracite Grey

A firm favourite with all the Secure House team, you might think Anthracite Grey is a little drab and dull. Not so when it’s used to colour a door, or a car for that matter as grey is actually the UK’s favourite car colour of 2019! Grey doors ooze style and they look at home in wide variety of locations from urban to rural settings.

Navy

Navy is the new black! Over the last few years we’ve noticed a distinct rise in the number of clients looking to source a navy door. A colour typically associated with high class tailoring, it translates seamlessly onto any front, side or back door and adds a touch of class to any property.

Ultra Violet

A relative newcomer to the door trend list, ultra violet is one of those ‘love it’ or ‘hate it’ colours. Lots of customers specifically ask us about purple doors and the option of adding an ultra violet one to their home can be often a big decision. We think it’s the right one though as we’re firmly on the ‘love it’ side!

Cobalt Blue

A bolt from the blue! Cobalt Blue doors have risen in popularity thanks to their inclusion in home design and build shows such as Grand Designs. This colour can really ‘lift’ a property to the next level by adding a touch of fun and flair and providing much-needed kerb appeal.

What's the best material for a front door?

What is the best material for front doors?

Front doors come in all sorts of different materials and many are manufactured using a combination of materials. But what is the best material for a front door?

It’s one the most frequently asked questions we are asked here at Secure House and, in our opinion, it has to be a door made from steel. Our home security doors are the most advanced front door solution on the market today, and they’re our undoubtedly our best selling and most popular doors with customers.

Steel doors v.s. timber doors

Highly affordable and energy efficient (so they will save you money on all fronts!), our steel doors feature all the design benefits of a timber door plus they offer all the advantages of a steel door. These advantages include the fact that they are burglar and fire resistant, plus they also deliver excellent noise reduction, thermal, water and wind insulation.

Timber doors are always visually stunning which make them popular with many people. On the downside, even though they are often made from hardwood, they don’t provide the same level of security as a steel door; they also need to be protected from the elements so will need to be repainted or refinished regularly.

The best of both worlds

Our strong and durable steel security doors do, in fact, offer the best of both worlds since we have a wide variety that have wood-effect finish so they actually look like they’re made from timber!

All the materials that go into our products are the very best available. Our doors are the perfect marriage of artistic design with technical know-how and they are specifically designed to protect your home from intruders whilst delivering the ultimate kerb-appeal and turning heads for all the right reasons.

Secure House is the number one replica door company in London

Secure House: the only choice for replica doors in London

Secure House replica doors are installed in various properties across each of London’s conservation areas. Fact. And that’s because Secure House is the number one choice for conservation and replica doors!

Take a look a recent project we completed for a client in Mayfair.

The original timber Georgian door was starting to show signs of wear and tear and the owner was concerned that the door was no longer very secure and it certainly didn’t provide any energy saving properties compared to its modern security door counterparts.

Check our Georgian doors →

Following an online consultation and a couple of site visits, we put together a full plan to create a replica door along with a whole new replica window light complete with high security glass.

BEFORE

Replica doors in London

Our plan addressed each of the specific conservation regulations set out for the area and met what was required by the local Council and estates team. The new, high security door was made using the very highest quality steel and clad with maintenance-free, fully waterproof engineered timber that is designed to last for decades.

As well as adding bespoke, replica ironmongery, we can included a motorised locking system: the world-renowned FIAM x1r. As well as state-of-the art locking systems, we are also able to provide e-key fingerprint scanners and facial recognition systems for an extra level of security, each of which comply with all conservation regulations.

AFTER

The finished result really does speak for itself – can you even spot the difference? Yes, it’s that good! Not only does the new door now provide an unrivalled level of security, it also vastly improves the thermal efficiency rating of the property. Oh, and it looks incredible.

When it comes to conservation area doors for any home in London, Secure House has to be your first stop for the expertise and knowledge you need to exceed expectations all round.
