The story of Ariete Security Doors

Ariete is the Italian company devoted to one thing alone: armoured doors. Only those, from the first site survey to the last screw. We are part of the Finestre Antirumore group, a company that has been making Italian homes safer and quieter since 1991. To date we have installed over 15,000 armoured doors across Italy, and 98.7% of those who chose us left us a five-star review.

It all begins in 1991.

Our story starts with one person: Mauro Semonella. At seventeen he joined a small window workshop as an apprentice and learned the trade with his hands, on the workshop floor, well before he learned it from books. In 1991 he set up the group's first company: him and his wife Gabriella, two people and one idea. That idea has remained our compass to this day: the customer is buying trust, choosing an investment for the home that will stay with them for at least thirty years. From this simple conviction, everything else was born.

Why we chose to do one thing only.

For years, like almost everyone in the trade, we dealt with many things: windows, internal doors, roller shutters, home automation. It is what you still find on average across the market today. Then we understood something that changed our direction: an armoured door guards the people you care about most, and it deserves a company that thinks about it alone. So we created a company devoted to a single direction and we called it Ariete. One thing only, done the way only those who do one thing alone know how.

Security you can touch with your own hands.

To date, every Ariete door has done exactly what it was made for: holding firm. Our armoured doors carry the certifications of Italy's leading bodies in burglar resistance class RC3 and RC4, and the sector's leading website has called them "the most secure armoured doors on the market". The credit also goes to the details you bring home only with us, such as the square defender with chamfered corners in steel, chrome and nickel: unique on the market, it checkmates the scaffolding-pipe technique, one of the most common among those attempting a break-in.

Made to measure for you.

Your door works for you in everyday things too. The 5+1+1 system gives you a double emergency key: the day you want to update your locks, the door recodes the cylinder on its own, entirely independently. The key is patented and reproduced only by Ariete, only for you. And if you live in a block of flats, our in-house joinery reproduces the existing panels so that your door blends in with all the others, while the Unica, the armoured door that slides into the wall, gives you a solution that today only we provide.

The silence you choose.

There is also the pleasure of coming home and hearing only the silence you have chosen. Our doors reach up to 46 dB of acoustic insulation and 0.8 W/m²K of thermal insulation: the warmth stays in, the traffic and the voices from the stairwell stay out. Security then becomes comfort too, in every season of the year. It is the reason so many people choose us first for peace of mind, then realise they have gained a quieter, warmer home as well.

Our real secret. The fitting.

Everyone talks about the doors, few talk about the people who fit them. Yet it is expert fitting that turns a good door into a door that truly protects, year after year. As early as 2010 we were the first certified retailer for installation in Liguria, and from that choice the Academy of Installation in Genoa was born, the first school in Italy that trains those who fit doors and windows. The technicians who come to your home are trained there: they are our own people, and they stay by your side afterwards too, whenever you need them.
choosing an armoured door

Try before you choose.

An armoured door is chosen by touching it. That is why our showrooms are living spaces, where you see it, open it, try it and feel it before you decide. Today you will find us in five showrooms: Milan, Monza, Rome, Genoa Struppa and Genoa Sampierdarena. In each one there are real models to try and people who explain the differences in simple words, within everyone's reach. So you reach your decision calmly, already knowing what you are bringing home.
Ariete Armoured Doors

The facts speak for themselves.

Ariete has been named "the number 1 armoured door in Italy" by Porte-blindate.info, Ediltecnico and Infobuild, the leading publications in construction and door and window products. Behind us stands the Finestre Antirumore group, with over 40 staff and thousands of families looked after from 1991 to today. But the figure we are proudest of is another: 98.7% of the thousands of people who chose Ariete left us a five-star review. It is written by those who already have that door in their home, and to us it is worth more than any certificate.

The people behind Ariete Security Doors

Behind every Ariete door, even before a company, there are two people: a father and a son. Mauro learned the trade on the workshop floor and built everything, step by step, since 1991. Andrea chose to focus that experience on one thing alone, armoured doors. Craft and vision, side by side: this is where every door we fit in your home is born.

Mauro Semonella

Founder and technical director

It all starts with him. At seventeen he joined a window workshop as an apprentice and learned the trade with his hands, on the workshop floor. In 1991 he set up on his own, with his wife Gabriella keeping the books. Ever since, he has carried forward a simple conviction: the customer is buying trust, and a door must last and protect for decades. He is the one who in 2010 was the first in Liguria to obtain the installation certification, and who years later brought the Academy of Installation to life. Today he is the technical face of Ariete: the person who, in the videos and in the showroom, explains things in simple words, within everyone’s reach.

Andrea Semonella

Owner and marketing director

He is the generation that gave Ariete its direction. Raised in the family business, after graduating in Industrial Product Design at the Politecnico di Milano he chose the path of communication and marketing. His is the insight to focus everything on one thing alone, armoured doors, and to build a dedicated company around it. He brought Ariete into the digital world, devised the warm, family-toned videos in which Mauro explains how to solve household problems, and to this day leads the voice and image of the brand. Artisan craft and vision: together, father and son are the two faces of Ariete.

We don’t ask you to take our word for it.

Sonia Villabruna
Milan
I bought a soundproofed door with an electronic lock, which they fitted in half a day. I no longer hear the neighbours and I can sleep more soundly, in every sense. I couldn't have chosen a better armoured door. Thank you.
Federico Alfieri
Genoa
Being a serious company means caring about every detail, from the customer's first step into the shop right through to the final goodbye. Well, Ariete is exactly that! From the quote with the highly capable Mara, to the site survey, through to the installation of the armoured front door.
Alessandra Cannavò
Milan
I live in a very busy block of flats and the fight against noise from the stairwell (especially the lift) seemed a lost cause. With the Ariete armoured door installed, ours has finally gone back to being a quiet flat and, at last, a secure one too.
Vincenzo Spagnuolo
Naples
I live on the ground floor and had noise problems caused by the lift door constantly opening and closing, as well as endless draughts. Since the day the armoured front door was installed this nightmare is over, and I'll never stop thanking Ariete.
Ivana Autieri
Milan
We had a very old door and, with the arrival of our first child, our family's safety came first. Now we feel protected and safe. I'd recommend Ariete to any family wanting a secure environment for their loved ones.
Luna
Naples
I have a small house in the countryside and for a while there had been talk of burglaries in my area, so I decided to replace my old wooden door with an Ariete door with armoured glass. The door is genuinely beautiful and at last I can relax even when I'm away for a few days.
Cinzia Del Maso
Rome
I was after a secure, soundproofed armoured door. Choosing the Ariete door proved excellent on both counts. And on a third I hadn't considered, which turned out to be a pleasant surprise: thermal insulation.
