Master Security Doors

The ultimate place to find custom security doors is through Master Security Doors. This company has been in operation for years and they believe in providing the best services to their customers at the best prices. In addition to basic security doors, they also offer fire proof doors, tornado doors, security closets and even safe rooms. One of their best sellers remains their customizable security doors. When a customer decides to purchase a security door from Master, they’re given a number of options from which to choose. The first thing a customer needs to look at is the material they want used for their custom security door.

The company currently offers five types of security door materials: laminate, fiber resin, pantograph wood, aluminum and hardwood. The laminate option is currently available in the following colors or styles: chestnut, pear, cherry, oak, walnut, pine, Tanganyika, Douglas, Mahogany, cream, beige, light yellow, red, powder, dark blue, green, taupe and olive. The Fiber Resin has the following choices: cream, beige, light yellow, red, powder, dark blue, green, taupe and olive. Those who choose Pantograph wood can choose from Tanganyika, chestnut, pear, cherry, oak, walnut, pine, Douglas and mahogany. The aluminum doors have less choices with cream, beige, light yellow, red, powder, dark blue, green, taupe and olive. Last is the hardwood choice, which is available in Tanganyika, chestnut, pear, cherry, oak, walnut, pine, Douglas and mahogany.

Master Security Doors takes things a step further by allowing customers to customize the interior and exterior of the door in separate or different ways. For example a customer might want a hardwood door that’s dark green on the inside and mahogany on the outside. This way a customer can match the inside of their door to their interior design choices and make the outside match their shutters, porch or window material.

Once a customer decides on a color theme, they will need to pick the hardware for their door. All of the doors have the same choices. There’s a chrome fixed knob, brass operating handle oval, chrome operating handle oval or a polished brass door knocker. Additionally they can choose a polished brass block device knob, chrome block device knob, bronzed aluminum operating handle, polished brass operating handle of a chrome operating handle.

The fixed knob looks exactly the same as an interior doorknob, while the operating handle oval looks like an oval door handle. The user simply needs to push down on the door handle to make it open. Additionally Master Security Doors offers an operating handle. This is similar to the type of door handle seen on screen doors because it’s essentially a flat piece of metal that can be pushed down to make the door open. The company also allows customers to further customize their door by purchasing additional door locks and knockers that can be installed on the door before installation.

After a customer decides on the type of door material they want and the type of hardware they need, they still have more decisions to make. First is the panel style, which basically means the style they want in a security door. The company labels these as a number combination rather than giving them a specific name like others companies do. The options available depend on the type of material picked, with hardwood having significantly more options than aluminum. This is due in part to the flexibility of the material as well as the abilities of the company.

The customer can also choose to add sidelight to their finished security door. This is best for those that already have sidelights because during the installation, the sidelights will need to be put in place. If there’s not currently space for those lights, the installer will need to cut into the wall and it will cost significantly more to finish the project. These sidelights typically add only to the aesthetic value of the door.

The customer also needs to have on hand the dimensions of their door since the Master Security Doors representative will ask those questions. Both the width and height of the door are needed. If the customers decides to order sidelights, they need to specify the dimensions of those as well. Following that choice, they’ll also need to decide if they want their door to swing open or if they want it to swing close. After making that final choice, the customer can see a 3-D representation of the finished product and see exactly what it would like in case they want to make any changes.

Master Security Doors provide the ultimate in custom security doors because this company allows customers to control every aspect of the door’s design. They choose the color, hardware, size of the door and all the outside features. There are very few companies operating in the world today that give customers this much freedom.
