Looking to buy new doors. Just need to decide whether to go original or Anti-Burst. The Anti-Burst makes a lot of sense. Anyone out there fitted them? Is there a noticeable difference externally? SP Galvanised appear to be good. Any thoughts? Ta

THe antiburst require different door pillar fasteners (the locking/closing part)otherwise, visible differences are the holes in the doof for the door lock
(I'm pretty sure that is the only difference)

In terms of quality, I fitted some new doors  a few years ago and wheras the barrel curve was great on the door frame, it didn't match the skin or the existing. Fortunately I was re-using the old door skins so it was ok, but it's something to be aware of
Also get the seller to measure the widthe and height of the doors so you can compare. With second row doors a few years ago, there were some terrible discrepancies

A friend had some new doors which we fitted - the barrel wasn't right, the fit was dreadful. If it had been me I would have repaired the original doors. But he had bought them a couple of years before, so no sending back.
