Reinforcing the security of your home with an armored door is a wise decision. But many people wonder whether it’s possible to carry out the installation themselves, or whether it’s better to call in a professional. While the do-it-yourself option is feasible for the more experienced, it’s essential to weigh up what’s at stake. Incorrect installation can compromise the security of your home and cancel out the advantages of an armored door.
Why call in a professional to install an armoured door?
Installing an armored door involves much more than simply fixing a door: it requires great precision, a perfect knowledge of standards, and locksmithing experience. Incorrect installation can lead to misalignment of the locking system, fragility of the frame or ineffectiveness against intruders.
At Leader Services, our technicians ensure careful installation in compliance with A2P standards, guaranteeing optimum protection against break-ins. Thanks to our expertise, you benefit not only from a secure installation, but also from advice on the choice of door, lock and additional devices such as digital peepholes, motion sensors or security bars.
Do-it-yourself installation: a risky operation
Installing an armoured door on your own requires :
- suitable tools (percussion drill, level, reinforced screws, etc.)
- carpentry skills to adjust the frame
- perfect measurement control
- the ability to handle a heavy, cumbersome element
Even for the most experienced do-it-yourselfer, this is a complex job. Misalignment, poor fixing or a badly fitted lock can reduce the door’s resistance to burglary attempts.
Installation in compliance with Belgian standards
In Belgium, security standards impose certain requirements on armored doors, particularly for home insurance purposes. Installation by a certified professional like Leader Services ensures compliance with these standards, which is often essential in the event of a claim.
