Helston Composite Doors — Colours, Styles & Local Advice

By Cornwall Composite Doors · 11 August 1969 · 4 min read

Everything Helston homeowners need to know about composite doors — coastal weather, colour choices, security ratings and what a local install actually looks like.

Composite doors and home security in Helston

Every composite door we install in Helston is a PAS24-tested doorset — meaning the whole assembly (door slab, frame, hinges, cylinder and multipoint lock) has been physically attack-tested by an accredited lab. A PAS24 doorset is a materially different proposition to a "PAS24 door slab" hung on whatever frame happens to be there. It's the specification Secured by Design requires and it's what your home insurer will recognise.

What the multipoint locking does

The standard lock we fit in Helston is a 3-star Kitemarked cylinder controlling an anti-lift, anti-snap multipoint mechanism with hookbolts and deadbolts at multiple points up the frame. In practice the door is locked into the frame at six or more places when you turn the key — anti-bump, anti-drill and anti-pick as standard.

Insurance and PAS24 — why the paperwork matters

We leave every Helston customer with the CERTASS certificate, the PAS24 test report reference and a written 10-year guarantee. If you ever need to make an insurance claim, that paperwork is what your insurer will ask for.
