How long does it take to open an armoured or reinforced door?
The time required to open an armoured or reinforced door can vary depending on a number of factors, such as the level of security, the quality of the components and the experience of the locksmith. In some cases, a lock can be opened in a few seconds, noiselessly and without leaving any evidence of picking.
In the case of reinforced doors, you should bear in mind that they are designed to provide a high level of security and resistance to break-in attempts. These doors often have advanced locking systems, high-security cylinders and additional reinforcements, making it very difficult to open them without a key or without proper techniques.
If you have any doubts about the security of your current door, consider replacing the lock with a more modern and secure system. A professional locksmith will be able to advise you on the best options available on the market to increase the security of your door.
Opt for a cylinder lock with advanced technology, such as anti-bumping and anti-picking cylinders. Even an electronic lock can significantly improve the protection of your door. In addition, make sure that the door is properly installed and has other security features, such as peepholes with covers and additional locks.
Which is better, an armoured or an reinforced door?
Some customers are not sure whether they have an armoured or reinforced door. The terms may sound similar, but here we explain the characteristics of each of them.
Armoured doors:
- Features: The structure of an armoured door is mainly composed of wood, with some iron reinforcements. It also includes limited-strength cylinders, locks and bolts.
- Resistance: Although stronger than standard doors, they do not effectively contain external attacks or deter break-ins.
- Vulnerability: Armoured doors can be quickly broken into by opportunistic thieves, compromising their security.
- Disadvantage: Resistance to attacks by experienced thieves is low, which contrasts with the initial perception of security that the term “armoured” suggests.
Reinforced Doors:
- Features: Reinforced doors are made of steel and their design incorporates wooden plates for aesthetic purposes. Its construction and materials are of higher quality.
- Resistance: They are considerably more resistant than armoured doors, thanks to superior reinforcements and armouring. The integration of locks and bolts into the structure improves its security.
- Versatility: There are different types of reinforced doors depending on the level of armouring, security reinforcements and types of locks.
- Security: The true strength of an reinforced door is measured by security certifications and tests, which prove its ability to withstand external attacks.
In conclusion, reinforced doors far outperform armoured doors in terms of strength and security. While armoured doors offer a certain level of protection, their vulnerability to attack by experienced burglars makes them less effective in preventing break-ins.
Reinforced doors, with their steel construction and high quality reinforcements, represent a safer and more reliable option for protecting access to your home or business. The choice of a certified vault door, which has passed rigorous security tests, is crucial to ensure optimal protection against external threats.
