What type of front door - composite, steel or other?

I'm looking at replacing my front door - I was going to get a Rockdoor but I see a lot of people saying that composite doors whoever make them eventually warp. I'm wondering what my other options are?

Maybe a steel security door from someone like Latham's or ??????

    We have a timber Kloeber front door.

    Has all the security features with the beauty of timber and the option of repainting it in the future for a bit of a change.

    We opted for the Euro Funky Front and it saved us a bit of money on properly bespoke. Still not a cheap front door but it will last for an awfully long time!

    I have a 15 point locking steel door between the main house and garage. For an internal door, it is fine, but it would look too industrial as a front door. Also very easy to ding and put small dents in, but then it is from their "budget" range.. Overall, I'm more than happy with the door.

    The six panel range is made from thicker steel, so wouldn't dent or ding - Looks like they might also do a glazed panel option.
    Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –
