An Inner Strength

This illustration provides an interesting insight into what goes on under the surface of a Rockdoor. Innovation and engineering expertise in composite door development, backed by attention to detail will go a long way to ensuring you and your family’s security. All expertly installed by South Lakes Windows Ltd experienced door fitters.

Rockdoors are designed to be as secure as possible. Multipoint locks, steel drill plates, cylinder protectors, outer & inner frame reinforcing and anti-bumping cylinders provide complete peace of mind.

Rockdoor is made with a unique engineered door system ‘made to measure’ for strength, not ‘cut to fit’ which weakens the door. It is designed with a bespoke reinforced inner & outer frame, specially designed to hold all the components including locks, deadbolts & hinges.

Rockdoor is the most thermally efficient door available with an entire Series available with an A-Rating for thermal performance. Press glazed technology, sash thickness, PU foam, PVC-U skins and thermally efficient soft coat glass are used to achieve an A-Rating.

Rockdoors are manufactured from high impact PVC-U to match windows. All coloured/wood doors are protected by Heat Shield technology meaning your door won’t crack, bend or warp.

PVC-U is low maintenance and only requires an occasional wipe down with warm soapy water. As a Rockdoor contains no wood, it’s impervious to water meaning it won’t swell.

German engineered hook locks exclusive to Rockdoor. Made from steel and brass for ultimate strength & security.

Toughened glass units filled with Argon Gas to provide the most thermally efficient door available.

An industry first, Rockdoors Carbon Fibre reinforced inner frame makes it the strongest door frame on the market.

Secured by Design Cylinder, anti-bump and anti pick manufactured to British Standards 1303.

Zinc cylinder guard protector to stop lock barrels from being snapped.

Concealed & reinforced steel drill plates prevent locks from being drilled out by thieves.

The door skeleton is welded together and is impervious to moisture ensuring it won’t swell or rot.

Brass hook locks engage into full length steel keeps to prevent forced entry.

Outerframe features a reinforced thermal block for strength and thermal efficiency.

Provides the strongest fixing points available when installing the door.

Multi Chambered, insulated outer frame for high levels of thermal performance.

No cassettes giving greater resistance to glass removal, perfect colour match and no air or water leakage.

Thick & tough 3mm skins both internally and externally resist cutting and impact.

Engineered 3 way adjustable hinges secured into the Carbon Fibre frame for extra strength.

Opens to 180° for convenient and safe day to day use, and comes with integral brush strip for thermal efficiency.

A unique and optional welded steel mesh security system can increase the strength of your Rockdoor by 4 times.

Door Set Energy Ratings

Door Set Energy Ratings (DSER’s) were introduced on 1 September 2011 to the entrance door market, to provide a simple yet effective way of assessing the energy efficiency of residential external doors such as composite doors.

Rockdoor are the only composite door manufacturer to have an entire range of doors available with an A-Rating as standard. Your Rockdoor installed by South Lakes Windows Ltd will have an energy rating sticker attached to the door.

A-Ratings on composite doors are achieved using many innovative techniques, ensuring that heat loss is the lowest in the industry. The Rockdoor Ultimate Series features high performance low-emissivity soft coated glass which offers excellent thermal insulation when incorporated within a double glazed unit filled with argon gas and warm edge spacer bars.

Ultimate Series Doors

Featuring a 50mm thick door sash, argon filled double glazed unit, soft coat thermally efficient glass and a carbon fibre reinforced innerframe, Rockdoors Ultimate Series is available with an A-Rating (if chosen with clear backing glass) as standard -a first in the industry across a range – making it the most advanced thermally efficient and secure composite door available.

Energy Rating & Backing Glass

When choosing your Rockdoor Composite Door, we recommend choosing clear backing glass (the piece of glass on the double glazed unit behind the glass design) ensuring optimal thermal performance. This is because we can only use our Soft Coat thermally efficient glass on clear glass. When patterned backing glass is used, this reduces the energy rating as this style of obscure glass cannot use this technology.

However, even if your Door Set Energy Rating drops slightly, you can still feel confident that your Rockdoor will keep more heat in the house than other external composite doors on the market.

French Doors - High Security

French doors make an excellent addition to any home. They provide clear and welcoming access into garden areas, and their clean panels help to bring light into the house, even in the grey days of winter.

French Doors - High Security

French doors are often considered a vulnerable point in a property, with burglars needing little more than a spade to break through and into your home.

With this in mind, Rockdoor focused hard on preventing unauthorised entry, and have developed what they believe to be the most secure French doors available.

Independent tests agree that Rockdoor french doors are secure, and have achieved PAS 23 and PAS 24 standards.

A carbon fibre reinforced inner frame gives solid fixings to all the locking components. One part of the door feature top and bottom bolts to securely fasten it to the outer frame, whilst the other has hooks to strongly fasten them together. Add the multiple hooks that join the two doors, and state-of-the-art hinges, and you've got a truly safe doorway.

French Doors Energy Efficiency

With heating costs rising yearly, it’s becoming more important than ever to pay attention to the energy efficiency of your home. With such large glass panels, French doors are clearly a cause for concern when it comes to energy savings.

That’s why Rockdoor used all of their resources to present you with French doors that truly live up to modern energy standards. The result is that Rockdoor uPVC-framed French doors achieve a Door Set energy rating of B. That’s better than a lot of solid front doors!
