Not only does this offer greater peace of mind to the homeowner, but also to the tradesmen fitting the doors.
Ian Smith, Sales Manager at Vista Panels explained: “Making door sets to the SBD standard is a must for us as a company, our customers expect nothing less from us. Whether it is for a commercial client or domestic replacement security is always at the top of our list of requirements so the option to upgrade to SBD specification is always there for them”.
