Increasing security is one most important consideration for fitting steel doors, the greatest weakness of the majority of wooden and plastic doors is the frame, in most cases they can usually be easily kicked or forced open with a crow bar breaking the frame to gain entry. Steel plates can be bolted to the outside of wooden doors but they only offer a limited amount of additional security and most doors are not designed to take the extra weight causing problems like damage to the hinges.
Steel doors can be expected to give a much longer service life even in hostile or high usage applications than the other alternatives, it is important that they are galvanized or rusting can be a problem especially for outside applications, corrosion is not only unsightly but in time will reduce the integrity of the door and frame. There are environmental benefits of fitting steel doors not only do they have a longer life but unlike wooden or plastic doors they do not deplete valuable resources and at the end of there life they can be recycled, thermal efficiency can be improved by using filling and good quality door seals.
