Ordering a security door means going through a few steps: measuring up, choosing the model, manufacture, then installation and adjustments. In the 14th, in apartments and houses alike, we guide you through each one, starting with a free quote.
Here is how a security door installation unfolds, from our first visit to the handover of the keys. Each step is planned with you, at a time that suits you.
For an apartment, the BP1-certified Picard Diamant 10 meets most needs; for a house or a ground floor, the Diamant 20 or the Fichet Spheris HiS, both BP2-certified, go further. If your current door is sound, reinforcing it remains an option.
Our doors have hinge bolts: even if the hinges were sawn through, the door would stay held in its frame. Measuring up lets us check which of these models suits your doorway.

Depending on the neighbourhood, installation brings different challenges: access, stairs, type of frame.
Haussmann-era buildings with wide staircases: the door arrives in one piece and goes in without any access problems. Tall doorways call for a made-to-measure door.
Houses on cobbled streets, often with no parking: we arrange the door delivery with you, and fit hinge bolts, which are essential on a house door.
Small old buildings with narrow staircases: when we measure up, we check that the door set will fit through, or we suggest reinforcing the existing door.
Brick buildings from the 1930s and more recent housing: doors of standard sizes, for which a Picard Diamant 10 from the standard range is usually the right choice.
A photo of your current door, open, already shows us the frame and the thickness of the wall.
A door from the standard range arrives sooner than a made-to-measure one, and special finishes lengthen the wait. The quote states the lead time; we set the installation date together when you place the order.
Yes, or someone you trust needs to be there: at the start to let us in, and at the end to try the door and receive the keys and the card of ownership.
The new door’s frame is fixed into the masonry; a little touching up of paint or plaster may be needed around it, on the inside. We point this out at the quote stage.
We can take it away at the end of the installation; mention it when you order so that it is included in the quote.
