Someone else mentioned in the thread Birmingham bars and London bars/plates.

If you want security, rather than the illusion of it, not much beats a new frame and a modern high end multipoint locking door, I would have thought.

I have Banhmam locks and they do feel substantially more secure than average. Realistically though that's just moved the weak point to the door and frame, particularly given the door has glass panels.

fun two weeks here with one neighbour having both cars borrowed indefinitely from their drive (chancers lifted the keys from the hallway) and another having some freelance pawn shop employees crowbar through their front door...
...so perhaps the original 1930s "security" is a bit out dated.
Banham it seems is the forum favourite: anyone have experience with their bespoke doors? We love that we have the original door - and while it's fairly solid, it's fairly not particularly square, so there's an argument for solving the steady winter breeze around the edges...
Replacing the lot, saving the stained glass windows with new wood work (I think someone was doing this to a recent purchase?): What trade am I looking for? Carpenter? Are there specialist glazing and door firms that re-do rather than replace?
