5 Security Door Questions That Could Save You Time and Money

Before investing in a new security door for your property, it’s important to consider a few key factors that can save you from future headaches, unexpected costs, and functional issues. Here are five essential questions to ask before installation day:

Are there hidden costs I should know about?

Many companies surprise homeowners with last-minute charges for delivery, installation, color upgrades, and extra hardware involved in their security door. Be sure to ask if the quoted price includes everything, especially installation and warranty coverage. An ethical company will be upfront and transparent.

How will the security doors hold up in Arizona’s climate?

Arizona’s extreme weather, including heat, dust, and monsoons, can quickly have a negative impact on certain materials. Ask about steel builds and powder coating instead of paint. Powder-coated finishes are far more durable and better equipped to handle the Arizona heat.

Is the security door custom-fit for my home or a one-size-fits-all model?

Custom sizing isn’t just a luxury, it’s a necessity. An improperly sized door can lead to gaps and a compromised level of security. Choosing a custom-fit security door ensures it functions properly while keeping the bugs and the bad guys out. It also eliminates the need for extra costs later.

Can the security door match my home’s design?

In the past, security doors have been known to be aesthetically unattractive. Today’s options offer custom colors, stylish designs, and no security bars, so you don’t have to sacrifice curb appeal for protection. Choose a provider who can help your door blend seamlessly with your home’s look.

Should I Install the Security Door Myself?

In short, no. Professional installation ensures the door is properly measured, aligned, and secured, which is important for both performance and warranty coverage. A DIY approach may save a few bucks upfront, but can lead to major issues down the line.
