Endurance Back Doors — the same 3-star security as the front, from £1,850 fitted.

Why the back door matters more than most people think.

Home Office data consistently shows that where a residential burglary involves forced entry through a door, the rear door is targeted more often than the front. Two reasons: rear doors are usually screened from the street by fences or side returns, giving an intruder cover, and rear doors have historically been fitted with cheaper single-point or French-door hardware without the 3-star cylinder now standard on front doors. Upgrade the back door to Endurance spec and that vulnerability disappears.

Same door, half the cost as a pair.

An Endurance back door prices identically to a front door of the same size, style and glass — from £1,850 fully installed. When we fit a front and back door at the same visit we take £150–£250 off the combined price because we only mobilise the survey and fitting team once. Most of our Cornwall front-door customers upgrade the back at the same time for this reason.

Configurations that work as back doors.

Standard front-door styles all work as back doors, plus two configurations that are especially popular round the back: half-glazed doors that let daylight into a narrow utility or kitchen without compromising security, and stable doors for ventilation while keeping children or pets contained. Where the rear elevation is predominantly glazed, French doors or a full sliding patio door may be a better fit — we'll talk you through it at survey.

Coastal Cornwall back doors.

Back doors on coastal Cornish properties get the same marine-grade stainless upgrade as front doors — A4 stainless hinges, letterplate spring and cylinder cams, so nothing on the door corrodes in salt air.
