Security doors are usually a lot heavier and made to better standards than usual wooden residential doors. Due to many valuables being on businesses premises a security door would ideally be fitted which also incurs a far better locking device being on the door. As with the better security would also come to a lot of cons if, for instance, the door would fail. When these high enforced doors break and fail, it is usual for a locksmith to be the only person to be able to give entry as they give the best security and knowing their fleurs is imperative which only experienced locksmiths know-how.
