Dublin householders have been urged to be on their guard after figures revealed a surge in the number of break-ins across the capital last year.
Less than five per cent of all doors currently available on the Irish market contain a steel door frame and as a result are unable to meet the Garda recommended security levels demanded by the new Irish and EU Burglary Resistance Security Standard for entrance doors; IS EN1627:2011.

19 Point Locking High-Security Home Steel Door Set, including the locking system, thick steel, high-security hinges, this new innovative door is a must have and is not comparable to your standard UPVC door. Its’ 6 panelled embossed steel door leaf and white powder coat, with letterbox and spy hole leave the doorset looking domestically aesthetically pleasing; whilst giving the same amount of security as the ‘industrial bred’ personnel door. Together with the 14 points of locking, the 4 dog bolt’s and the latch, 19 points hold the heavy duty steel door leaf securely in its’ frame.
