Hello,
we have decided on a condominium that is currently under construction. The contractor offers some special requests as catalog options for an additional charge. A secure apartment entrance door is very important to us, especially since the apartment is located in the attic. The standard door meets the RC2 standard with a mortise lock and single-point locking. For an additional charge of around €1300, a door according to the RC3 standard is available. This includes, among other things, a multipoint locking system with 2 swing bolts. As far as I could read, the RC3 standard also involves several other features (the door would have to be thicker, have hinge-side security, etc.), so the additional cost should be worth it, right? Alternatively, I could of course choose the cheaper RC2 door and have a security bar installed. Perhaps someone can say something about which should be safer overall. An RC4 door is not offered by the contractor.
Best regards!
