Doors : Residential

Each residential door, including double and French doors, fabricated in Scotia’s 24,000 square feet factory is made from pvc-u extruded profile which is specifically made for doors.

Many cheaper products use window profile for doors, which for the first few years may not prove to be a problem, but as time goes by and the product has to prove its fitness for the job, unfortunately many fail.

With a Scotia door we only use door extrusion and in order to ensure strength and rigidity the outer frame and the door leaf are reinforced with steel and aluminium. This steel reinforcement is then what is used as a fixing for our high security locking system which incorporates three substantial steel claw hooks, four steel roller fixings and a latch.

In addition each door comes complete with high security flag hinges, which are fixed, into the steel reinforcement in order to provide better security. Many competitors fix their locking system with self tapping screws into the pvc-u this can be a problem particularly if any force is applied as the screws tend to easily tear from the frame.

All Scotia doors are also internally beaded for security and 28 mm sealed units incorporating toughened low “e”  toughened safety glass are fitted as standard which is much more difficult to break than standard float glass. Toughened glass also offers safety benefits as if it were to break the glass breaks into small pea size pieces, which are much less likely to harm members of your family, where as float glass can break into large, sharp dangerous pieces.

Our residential doors come in a wide variety of designs and can incorporate side screens, fanlights etc.

The range is also available in a wide variety of Colour options include:
