What makes a good security door?
When people in Lagos say “bulletproof door”, they usually mean a heavy, well-built steel or copper security door. Whatever the name, these are the things that matter:
- The steel and the frame. A strong door needs an equally strong frame fixed firmly into the wall.
- The lock set. Multi-point locks that bolt into the frame in several places are harder to force.
- The hinges. Heavy doors need heavy-duty hinges so they do not sag over time.
- The finish. A good finish resists the Lagos sun, rain and humidity.
Ask us for the details of the exact door you like — thickness, lock type and finish — before you buy. We will answer honestly.
Measure your door opening
Measure the width and height of the opening in the wall (not the old door). A single entrance door opening is commonly around 900 mm to 1,000 mm wide, while mother-and-son and double doors need a wider opening. Openings differ from building to building, so send us your exact measurement and we will tell you which of our doors fit.
Finishes and styles
Choose from copper and bronze, gold-accented, textured black, charcoal and grey, and wood-effect finishes — classic carved panels, peacock and sunburst designs, or clean modern lines. Our Luxury Collection brings together the grandest entrance doors.
Which door for which building?
| Building | What usually works best |
|---|---|
| Duplex or mansion | A grand copper bulletproof door with canopy, or a mother-and-son door for a wide entrance |
| Flat or apartment | A single steel or copper security door with a strong lock set |
| Shop or office | A security door for the main entrance, glass doors inside to keep spaces bright |
| Bedrooms, toilets and kitchens | Room doors in white, grey, black or wood-look to match floors and walls |
Building several units? We supply doors in project quantities — see our page for contractors and developers.
Installation tips
- Plan the door height with your floor finish in mind — allow for tiles or marble.
- Fix the frame firmly into solid blockwork or a concrete surround.
- Keep the protective film on until plastering and painting are finished.
- Oil the locks and hinges from time to time.
Security beyond the door
A strong door works best as part of a secure entrance. Pair it with a solid frame, good lighting at the entrance, burglary-proof windows and a strong gate. Keep spare keys in a safe place and change the lock cylinder when you move into a new house. If you are building, plan the entrance door early so the opening and frame are made to the right size.
Room doors that finish the house
After the entrance door, room doors set the mood inside. Match them to your floors and walls — white with black lines for modern homes, wood-effect for warmth, or white and gold for elegance. For offices and kitchens, glass doors keep spaces bright.
