The Best Door Security

How is your door security?

Burglars are out there and they're looking for opportunities. They may look like ordinary people walking or driving by your house but they could be casing your place. They know what an easy target looks like and if they find one they will not hesitate to move fast. Doors are the most common entry point for thieves.

Below is a list of what a weak door looks like, as well as what a secure door looks like. When taking a look at your own doors, you'll need to look through the eyes of a Burglar. Ask yourself, "What type of door do thieves look for?"


Signs of a Vulnerable Door:

• Poor fitting door frame
• Outward swing doors with hinges on the outside of the house
• Windows that can be broken enabling burglar to reach in and unlock
• Only a doorknob lock with no deadbolt
• Dark areas - No lighting
• No Alarm Stickers
