When shopping for a new security door, many homeowners ask the same question: Should I choose a Standard Security Door or upgrade to a Regal Security Door?

At Allied Iron, we manufacture and install both styles of custom security doors for homeowners throughout Metro Phoenix. Both options provide outstanding protection, improved curb appeal, and enhanced ventilation, but there are important differences that can help determine which door is right for your home.

If you're comparing a Standard Security Door vs Regal Security Door, this guide explains everything you need to know.


What Is a Standard Security Door?

A Standard Security Door is our most popular security door option for Phoenix-area homeowners looking for a durable, attractive, and affordable way to secure their homes.

Each Standard Security Door from Allied Iron features:

  • Heavy-duty welded steel construction

  • 1½" x 2" steel door shell

  • Reinforced security frame

  • Welded mitered corners

  • Lock guard protection

The Standard Security Door provides exceptional protection while maintaining a traditional security door appearance that complements many Arizona home styles.

Standard Security Door vs Regal Security Door: Side-by-Side Comparison

Door Shell Size

The Standard Security Door uses a 1½" x 2" steel shell, while the Regal Security Door utilizes a larger 1½" x 4" shell.

The larger Regal frame creates a stronger visual presence and provides a heavier, more substantial appearance.

Frame Construction

Both doors utilize welded steel construction and reinforced frames, but the Regal series features a larger outer frame that delivers a more robust look and feel.

Design Appearance

One of the most noticeable differences is the design profile.

Standard Security Doors include a traditional frieze with horizontal accent bars.

Regal Security Doors eliminate the frieze entirely, creating a clean, contemporary design that pairs exceptionally well with modern and transitional homes.

Hardware Options

Regal Security Doors can be upgraded with premium custom pull options and a dual-cylinder locking system for homeowners seeking enhanced security and upgraded aesthetics.

Customization

While both doors are built to fit your home's exact opening, the Regal series offers expanded design flexibility and a more custom luxury appearance.

Which Security Door Offers Better Protection?

Both security door styles are designed to provide outstanding security.

Each door includes:

  • Heavy-gauge steel construction

  • Welded corners

  • Reinforced frames

  • Lock guards

  • One-way security bolts

  • Professional installation

For most homeowners, both options provide exceptional protection. However, the larger shell and heavier frame of the Regal Security Door provide an additional level of strength and rigidity.

Appearance often becomes the deciding factor.

  • Traditional styling

  • Decorative security door designs

  • Excellent value

  • Proven durability

  • Budget-conscious upgrades

Choose a Regal Security Door If You Prefer:

  • Modern architecture

  • Larger framing components

  • Clean lines

  • Premium hardware
