People often think that front door fittings are mainly the doorknob and a letterbox. However, that is not entirely true. That's not all. A front door fitting set includes even more, we normally speak of the following:

• Front door knob (often a security set)
• Mailbox
• House number
• Bell push (or a pull bell )
• Door spy

These are the essential parts of front door fittings. But more can be chosen, such as a flagpole holder, but also things that are not immediately visible from the outside. Think of a door chain, a door closer and other hinges and locks .

Safety is essential

The front door is probably the most important door in your home. People ring or knock on this door when they drop off a package, when friends or family come by and when someone wants to ask something, for example. But this door is also the door through which burglars often try to enter.

The front door is the main entrance and exit to your home. That is why it is very important to properly secure this door. We therefore always advise you, as well as the police, to opt for security fittings with an SKG 3-star quality mark and a Police Quality Mark for Safe Living (PKVW).

This way you can be sure that this fitting offers optimal security for your door. SKG 3 star fittings offer more than 5 minutes of burglar resistance. You can read more about the SKG quality mark here, more about the Police Safe Living Quality Mark here .
