Established in 1997 Robust UK are the British arm of Robust Steel Doors, part of Robust AB based in Sweden.
From our centrally located offices in Staffordshire we are able to provide a high quality service supporting a wide range of customers throughout the UK.
Our range of steel doors include:
- OUTA-DOR - External Steel Doors.
Our external steel doors (OUTA-DOR) offer exceptional value. Robust doors are supplied complete with hardware fitted as standard to comply with the required specification. Available in a choice of durable powder coated, we also have a range of attractive woodgrain PVC laminates and profiled doors to allow steel doors to step away from their "industrial" image.
Our OUTA-DORs are manufactured in corrosion resistant magnelis as standard allowing us to offer an industry leading anti corrosion warranty of up to 10 years as standard.
All doors are fully CE marked to comply with latest regulations
- INNA-DOR - Internal Flush Steel Doors.
Our internal steel doors (INNA-DOR) are suitable for use in most applications where timber is traditionally specified. Our steel doors offer increased security and are supplied fully assembled with hardware fitted as standard. Robust fire doors are tested to BS476 and BSEN1634.
Our fire rated steel doors are designed to contain and prevent the spread of fire for a specified period of time. Our fire doors are available in both latched and unlatched configurations. Every door is made to order and we can offer side and overpanels where required. Sizes and hardware are matched to comply with the various fire rating classifications
- Steel Security Doors.
We offer 2 options for security rated doors, TUFF-DOR and SECUR-DOR.
- TUFF-DOR security doors are available attack tested to three different LPS 1175 security ratings: SR2, SR3, and SR4.
Complementing these doors is our TUFF-VENT door, a security rated fully louvred door tested to PAS24
- SECUR-DOR security doors tested to STS202 BR2 and BR3 along with doors tested to PAS24 2016,
Our SECUR-DOR 4 is also blast tested to EXR2 of BSEN 13124-2
- GLAS-DOR Fully Glazed Steel Doors.
Steel profiled glazed doors are available in both fire rated and non-fire rated specifications. Single and Double configurations are also available either fully glazed or with mid rails.
- Acoustic Steel Doors.
Acoustic Doors have been tested to BS EN ISO 140-3: 1995. Our standard doors offer a excellant level of acoustic performance, but for higher acoustic performance we custom manufacture doors tested to 45dB and 50dB.
Fully louvred steel doors are perfect for where a continuous airflow is required to ventilate a room. Robust louvred steel doors are stronger than traditional lightweight aluminium louvres and can be specified with side and over panels. We can also manufacture and supply louvred screens and enclosures.
In addition to our fully louvred doors, we can also fit louvre panels into our standard flush doorsets and fire doors.
Stainless Steel Doors.
Robust stainless steel doors are manufactured from grade 304 or 316 stainless steel sheet. Suitable for environments requiring corrosion protection. Stainless steel doors are also available in a wide range of coloured, textured and patterned finishes to suit specific design requirements.
Stair Riser Access Doors.
Increasingly specified in highrise buildings Robust can bespoke manufacture fire rated steel access doors where easier and larger access is required for access to building services such as telecommunication cables and supply pipes.

Robust UK - Meet the Team – Jason Robinson, Technical Director
With over 25 years in the industry, Jason is a familiar face to many! With a wealth of knowledge, highly collaborative approach and incredible attention to detail, Jason is a hugely important member of the Robust team, helping to drive our success and innovation on a daily basis.
Jason joined Robust in 2023, with a focus on product testing & certification, researching & developing new products, and looking at new opportunities and gaps in the market. Having recently been promoted from Research & Development Manager to Technical Director, Jason’s new role includes his previous R&D responsibilities plus the standardisation of designs and processes; improving processes in production to gain greater efficiencies in each department; and the automation of processes within production and the office.
Jason says, “Robust is a great company to be a part of, and there was a lot of fantastic work already being done prior to my arrival. I thoroughly enjoy working with the team here, using my experience to help drive improvement at every level. Relocating to our new production facility in Newcastle-under-Lyme has enabled us to implement improvements much more quickly due to the significant investment in state-of-the-art machinery and facilities.”
“The testing of doors here is second to none. Robust has always had a well-deserved reputation for “investing in testing”, with products undergoing rigorous third party testing and certification, providing peace of mind for the customer that our products conform to the latest legislation and meet all the required performance standards. Not all manufacturers or door companies have the same level of comprehensive testing that Robust has, which can result in vulnerabilities.”
“Another important part of my role is to ensure that we are always looking for innovative designs, continuing to develop and improve our solutions with the customer in mind. Identifying gaps in the market and ensuring that Robust UK can meet our customer demands is incredibly rewarding. We liaise closely with our current supply partners and potential new suppliers to ensure that we’re at the forefront of innovation - utilising new materials and the latest products to meet ever-evolving market requirements.”
Born and bred in Stockport, Jason has been married for 26 years and has a daughter and granddaughter, as well as numerous pets (a horse, a dog and two rabbits). His wife and granddaughter share his passion for football as they all hold Stockport County season tickets, and they also enjoy travelling and holidays abroad together.
Looking to the future, Jason says Robust’s relocation to larger premises has unlocked great potential, with significant improvements in production and processes already taking place with more to follow. “We continually strive to innovate, develop, learn and educate, and the investment in our new production facility enables us to do this to an even higher standard than before. The future is bright for Robust, and it’s an incredibly exciting time to be a part of the team.”
