Sometimes, a CCTV camera just isn’t enough to capture suspicious activity taking place on or around your property. This is where a security door comes in handy. Designed specifically to make intrusion more difficult for people who don’t have authorised entry to the residential or commercial property, security doors are usually crafted with a strong metal, like wrought iron. A lot of property owners believe these doors to only be an option for the external area of a property but in fact, they can be installed in vaults, basements and panic rooms, to name a few protection points. Let’s find out more about the ways in which these doors can improve safety and provide peace of mind.
Lock Picking
There are a lot of different ways in which an intruder might try to pick a lock. This could be by using a hair grip or even a metal wire to tweak the inner workings of the lock and open up the door. Lock picking is pretty much impossible when a security door is installed, because certain looking mechanisms will be fitted onto the door. The choice is usually yours, depending on budget, and will include fingerprint systems and keyless lock code systems. Ask about your options if you want to get the most out of your money when hiring an expert to fit a safety door.
Get Safety Devices Installed
Did you know that you can enhance safety further by paying a glass specialist to install safety devices onto a security door? Film can be applied to the glass on these doors and this film will be crafted with micro layers, which not only minimise glare from the sun but also, that will hold the glass together well in the event of an attempted break-in. Other safety devices to think about include hinge-side security devices, additional locks and door jammers, which prove to be one of the most popular safety devices on the market today for home and business owners.
High-Security Strike Plates
One of the most favoured door locking enhancements made available to the owners of properties everywhere nowadays are high-security strike plates. If a simple lock is fitted, the door handle or doorknob will not be secure and therefore will need to be reinforced with a door strike plate. These plates can be fitted with wood or if you want to really enhance security, the person with security knowledge will use metal to keep the plates fixed in place.
