Replacements Doors Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes

January 26th, 2008

Many PVC-U doors look similar but standards can vary wildly.  Some are most definately excellent whilst other replacement doors can be broken through in under 10 seconds providing a very low standard of security, especially if it is only fitted with cam locking devices, easily opened by an average burglar with a jemmy. The problem is that all companies will say their replacement UPVC doors are of good quality so its best to arm yourself with some tough questions.

Questions to ask when gaining your door quotes across Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes.

Does the door have hook bolts and shoot bolts?

Do the hook bolts operate upwards?

Are anti jemmy devices fitted?

Is the key cylinder anti drill?

Then, some more questions about the company

Are you CPA and FENSA registered?  Being CPA registered means they will have an independent body send questionnaires to their customers after work has been carried out to gain service feedback.  Ask to see their CPA results! 

Do you offer a 10 Year Insurance Backed Warranty? 

Where are you based and what is your after sales service like if we have a future problem? 

It’s also best to speak to around 2 - 3 companies to get a feel for prices and quality.

I hope this helps when deciding on your new replacement UPVC doors and we’d be much obliged if you’d consider us too when getting your quotes as we have so many happy customers across Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes.
