Have you ever seen one of these? They are absolutely fantastic!

At over 120 kg, one of these bad boys can keep you, your family and your possessions safe from prying eyes and thieves. The proper installation of one of these armored doors involves tearing apart the frame of your original doorway in order to cement in the heavy duty metal frame of your new armored door. This provides you with an unbelievably strong installation that’s just about impossible to compromise under any normal circumstances.

There are so many different brands and levels of quality to be found that it can make someone dizzy. As with most things involving home décor or improvement, quality costs money. This needn’t be a problem however, since even the highest quality armored doors can be had for under $1000. Of course you can always go with the cheaper Chinese alternative (about $250), I’d say this is one area that you should not try and save money on… spend the cash and get the best.

Understandably, the better brands offer is very wide range of sizes and finishes to match every style of home, apartment, storefront or garage entranceway imaginable. Typically an armored door has all steel construction with the outer layers being made of MDF or wood. Of course this doesn’t always have to be the case, but it is the most common option.

Insulation on armored doors is also extreme. When buying the better quality products you will no doubt get excellent sound and whether insulation as standard, as well as bulletproofing. Yes, I said bulletproofing! Like I said earlier, this is one upgrade that’s worth spending your money on.

So if you have a couple of bucks and you’re looking for a relatively inexpensive but worthwhile home-improvement, seriously consider installing a stylish, high quality armored door. It’s one of the best investments you can make, not to mention that it could possibly save you money on your home owners insurance premiums!
