The Ultimate Guide to Door Security: Keeping Your Home Safe and Stylish
When it comes to keeping you and your property safe, choosing the right door can make all the difference. It should not only look amazing, but should function with security in mind. Here’s a quick guide to choosing the best security for your home without giving up on style.
Choose the Right Material: There are a few different types of door out there. Wood, Steel and fibreglass are the most common. Wood is beautiful but can be broken easily. Steel and fibreglass are the most secure and it all depends on the security specifications of the latch side of the slab. You can learn more about the different door slab security options by asking one of our experts at Detail Home Installations.
High-Quality Locks and Latches: Deadbolts are your biggest defense from a home invasion and a must-have for everyone. If you’re just locking with a keyed entry, you could be liable to have your door kicked in very, very easily. Look for a grade 1 or 2 lock for superior resistance to forced entry.
Consider Additional Security Options: A great tool against forced entry is a multi-point locking system. At Detail Home Installations, we offer the Ferco Multipoint Locking System that extends up and down the latch side of your door with three deadbolts, making it that much harder for intruders to force your entryway open. We, too, offer our specially-designed, reinforced strike plate which is 3 times thicker than our competitors. Another great way to up your safety is a peephole so you can see who is at your door without opening it.
