The verdict
Prestige Security Doors leads 40 to 9, and the gap is mostly one thing: buyer disclosure, where it takes 16 of 30 against 4.
Both scores measure what each maker publishes, not laboratory strength. A system that declines to state its alloy or its price scores badly here by design, and may still be excellent steel. The installer who measures and fastens it matters at least as much as either badge.
