Has anyone used security doors from www.tentuff.com ? Looks pretty neat finish in picture. Not sure how it looks and works in real world. Sliding security doors seem to be priced around 1200/sft. They also have bi-fold security doors, which offers an option of 100% opening instead of 70% or so in case of sliding doors.
Also appreciate input on any other security door options.

Robbers do not target locks or wooden planks of the door. They use sharpened weapons and hit the door frame where lock is present. Once robbers had entered our house in similar fashion and that's when we decided to put additional steel gates to safe guard houses. No matter how safe the locks or mesh are as shown in the website , weak links are generally the wooden frames or waskal.

Thank you RashmiL for your input. I think I will go with steel doors, where safety is important instead. TenTuff doors are made of aluminium frame, which is definitely not going to be strong.
Did you use a local fabricator or some branded company for steel door?

Local fabricator would do. However if you want better looks, go with SS 304.Initial investment is high , but will look good and will not deteriorate over time and no painting is required. However do note that , traders will try to sell SS 202 which will rust over time. Just carry a magnet while checking the SS material. Magnet should not attract if material is 304.

PS: I realized you are talking about doors and not gates. I was referring about gates. If you are referring to door, go with combination of safety gate + any door. Avoid grill type safety gates as it eats some space in front of doors and will have trouble in moving full length sofas through doors.

I checked out iLeaf and other so called Wood-finished steel doors.. They are not really any strong..

They are 16 or 18 gauge sheet metal moulded with some foam like material inside.. those could be cut open with a simple hacksaw blade.. get a security door done using 14 guage sheet metal, reinforced by rods/pipes/tubes etc from a local fabricator, works cheaper and effective.

Steel doors give very bad experience once the rubber beading give away and the finish of local made doors is like old Godrej Almirah of bygone era.

Either go for proper safety door which looks very industrial or some brand like Tata Pravesh.

Tata pravesh looks good on photo.. but is still flimsy anf horribly expensive..
