Security

Location & Frame Type

Many years ago the frames sold to customers were often little to do with the customers requirements or design of the property. The products sold were simple designs with little thought to security or aesthetics to get the sale. We believe that customers should receive the best advice possible. For example, whilst large side openers are perfectly OK upstairs, they may not be the right solution for the ground floor.

Security and safety should not only be to repel people from trying to break in, it is equally important for people trying to get out. Fire escape hinges should be fitted in upstairs locations in every house, or in isolated rooms in bungalows for your families complete safety.

Engineered Frames

High impact modified profiles, fully welded transoms and mullions, no mechanical joints, five chambers for additional strength and increased thermal performance. Fire resistance complies to BS476 Part 7, class 1DIN4102 flame retardant, self extinguishing.

Internally Beaded

All the Diamond range offered is internally beaded, this means the glass is installed and beaded from the inside for additional security. Windows with external glazing beads are a burglars dream.

Steel Reinforced

The Diamond profile is engineered to a superior level of strength and can incorporate steel reinforcing. Structurally, this is an advantage that offers even greater strength, durability and security.

Multi-point Locking

The locking mechanism incorporates a centre latch and dead bolt, two hook bolts, two roller cams and a SAC bolt.

General Security Advice

Always engage multi locking points on leaving the house. If leaving windows open downstairs leave them in the night vent position. Never leave a key inside a cylinder if going out, you will not gain entry via that door. Other tips include, cancel newspapers when going on holiday, cancel milk if you have it delivered, fit intermittent switches to lights. Advise neighbours of your absence or the local neighbourhood watch.

Double Glazed

Diamond windows and doors are double glazed for many reasons such as security, strength and reducing heat loss. There is an added security to all doors with toughened or laminated glass as standard.
