Robust UK, one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of steel door solutions, has responded to market demand by launching TEMP-DOR, an innovative temporary door solution that will transform how social housing providers, councils and property managers secure their property following break-ins or door damage.
The groundbreaking TEMP-DOR system represents a move away from traditional boarding-up methods to offer a highly secure, reusable steel door solution, which is designed to maintain building security until a permanent replacement is available.
This innovative approach provides property managers, social housing providers and councils with a more stylish, secure and cost-effective alternative to emergency boarding or manned security services.
TEMP-DOR’s versatility is what sets it apart from its competitors. The system features an adjustable frame which can accommodate openings from 875mm to 1095mm wide, whilst its modular design enables rapid on-site assembly. The door can be configured for both left-hand and right-hand openings and for inward or outward opening, ensuring compatibility with different building requirements. Built to withstand unauthorised access attempts and weather exposure, TEMP-DOR delivers exceptional durability at a time when buildings are at their most vulnerable. The door is manufactured with an escape sashlock compliant with BS EN 179.
In 2024–2025, a total of 166,577 home burglaries were reported across England and Wales — an average of 456 incidents every day. London recorded the highest number of break-ins, with 34,311 cases, making it the most at-risk region. According to ONS analysis of long-term burglary trends, 70% of offenders gain entry through the door, underlining the importance of robust door security.
Jason Robinson, Technical Director at Robust, explains:
“TEMP-DOR represents a game-changing solution for social housing providers, enabling them to secure property quickly in an emergency. It eliminates the need for unreliable temporary boarding or expensive man guarding and is highly effective in maintaining building integrity whilst presenting a professional appearance.”
The fact that TEMP-DOR is reusable makes it compatible with sustainability and circular economy principles. TEMP-DOR is immediately available for collection from Robust or next day delivery.
