Premium Home Protection Solutions That Combine Beauty with Unmatched Security
At Metro Steel Windows & Doors, we understand that your home is more than just a place to live—it’s where you keep everything that matters most. For over 15 years, our team has specialized in crafting premium steel windows and doors that provide exceptional security without compromising on style. Unlike standard aluminum or vinyl windows that can be easily compromised, our steel products feature multi-point locking systems, reinforced frames, and specialized security glass—all customized to your specific needs. We’re committed to providing Texas homeowners with peace of mind through security solutions that don’t require sacrificing the beauty of your home.
The Superior Security Benefits of Steel Windows
In today’s world where a burglary occurs approximately every 30 seconds in the United States, choosing the right windows is a critical security decision.
Unmatched Strength and Durability
Our steel windows are 3-4 times stronger than aluminum and up to 10 times stronger than vinyl alternatives, making them virtually impossible to bend or break, even with common burglary tools. They’re also highly resistant to extreme weather conditions, including Texas’s occasional hailstorms and high winds, preventing weather-related security vulnerabilities.
Recent clients in upscale neighborhoods have noted that the solid feel when closing and locking their steel windows instantly increased their sense of security—a sentiment we hear frequently throughout our service area.
Advanced Locking Systems
What truly sets our windows apart are the sophisticated locking mechanisms that provide multiple layers of protection. Our multi-point locking systems secure the window at several points around the frame, while tamper-resistant hardware is designed to withstand picking and manipulation. With concealed hinges that cannot be accessed from outside, these systems are crucial considering that 23% of burglars enter through first-floor windows.
Steel Windows vs. Standard Security Options
Independent security testing reveals the dramatic difference in forced entry resistance between window materials. Standard vinyl windows can typically be compromised in 30-60 seconds, while aluminum windows generally withstand forced entry attempts for only 1-3 minutes. In contrast, Metro Steel windows resist break-in attempts for 12+ minutes or more.
This time difference is critical, as most burglars abandon an attempt if they cannot gain entry within 5 minutes. In neighborhoods where our windows have been installed, homeowners report fewer attempted break-ins, as criminals typically seek easier targets.
While the initial investment in steel windows is higher than standard options, they offer superior long-term value with a 50+ year lifespan compared to 15-20 years for vinyl windows. Many insurance companies offer premium reductions for homes with steel windows and doors, and the enhanced security features and aesthetic appeal add significant property value. One client calculated that their Metro Steel windows would actually cost less over 30 years than replacing vinyl windows twice—while providing substantially better security throughout.
Customizing Steel Windows for Your Home’s Security Needs
Every home has different security requirements based on location and family needs. For luxury estates, we often recommend tempered security glass with laminated interlayers, while historic homes can maintain period authenticity while incorporating modern security features. Waterfront properties benefit from corrosion-resistant hardware and specialized water-facing security measures.
For families with children or elderly members, we offer egress-compliant security windows that meet emergency exit requirements while maintaining security. Our restricted opening options allow ventilation while preventing full opening, and child safety locks integrate seamlessly with our security systems. These customized solutions address the concerning fact that 58% of home invasions occur during daylight hours (10 AM to 3 PM), often when some family members may be home alone.
