Customized security doors can also be made in unusual dimensions

When selecting entrance doors for an apartment or house, functionality and aesthetics play the main roles. Security doors are meant to protect homes and their inhabitants from burglaries and fires. However, they also serve an aesthetic function. While in apartment buildings, they are usually designed uniformly from the side of communal areas (hallways), some manufacturers offer flexibility in their execution from the interior (apartment) side. This allows customers to choose the surface finish of the doors and the level of security that suits them best. Customers can choose from a wide color spectrum and wooden decors – the latest and even personalized finishes. Regarding the level of home security, they can choose basic, medium, and the highest burglary resistance. For security doors for houses, an aesthetic and functional element can be their enhancement with security lights, as well as the possibility of creating security frames and doors for atypical door openings in both cases.


Certified security doors must resist not only burglars but also everyday use. An average family of four opens and closes their entrance door more than 20 times a day. Over 25 years, they will open and close their security doors about 200,000 times. Quality security doors must withstand this pressure. The SHERLOCK® doors have a manually crafted robust steel structure and thus serve their owners for an entire generation. The security fireproof frame is made to measure, allowing it to adapt even to atypical door opening dimensions and cope with possible wall irregularities. If the owner decides to renovate their home during the lifespan of the doors, no problem. The frames are universal, so the doors can be easily shortened by up to 3 cm, or they can choose other SHERLOCK® doors, for example in a higher security class. Quality security doors can also handle noise, fire, and dirt. Increased resistance is ensured by a thermal-sound-insulating fireproof core and special sealing. Additionally, SHERLOCK © doors have a double-skinned construction that protects the home from external fire intrusion for up to 60 minutes. This is sufficient time for the fire brigade to arrive.

Surface Finish and Design of Doors

SHERLOCK® ASSA ABLOY presented a unique novelty to architects, designers, developers, and apartment owners – certified security doors with a maximum durable FunderMax surface. The surface of the doors meets aesthetic requirements as well. The offer includes security doors in modern lacquered white, imitation of marble or copper, and various geometric patterns. A matte finish alternative is standard, and the novelty is the option for personalized door surface finishes with a photograph or original graphic design according to a template. This offers practically unlimited options for architects or future owners when designing the appearance of security doors. The special surface has another unique property: whether matte or glossy, it does not retain visible fingerprints.
