You may not realise it but your doors within your property play a massive role in the security. Doors that are easy to access can make you fall victim to a break in. There are a huge number of different types of doors that you can install throughout you home. Some are very secure but may look too industrial for your style of home, so you need to get the balance right.

There are a number of security companies out there that offer a free consultation and may be able to advise you on what doors would be best suited to your needs. If you have a porch on the front of your home then you will have two doors. The internal door may not need to be as secure if you ensure that you lock the outside one. Homes with porches often get targeted less because thieves know that it will take them longer to break through two doors rather than just one.

If you have a garage attached to your home then you also need to think about how secure your garage door is. It is easy to forget to consider your garage door as another possibly entry in to your home. Again, as the internal door from your garage in to your home is going to be inside your property, you may not want it to look too industrial. There are now a number of doors on the market that look aesthetically pleasing but also offer maximum security. The external garage door should be chosen based on how much you use it and what is stored in your garage. If you do not store your vehicle in there but do store expensive tools or equipment then you may want to ensure that you have pedestrian access through the garage door so that you do not have to open up the main door and expose your goods to the entire world.

If you have a door that you quite like, you may just consider upgrading the locks. This can massively help improve your security but it is important to think about what material the door is made out of. UPVC doors are often more secure than wooden doors. Also having glass in your door is not always the best idea, especially if it is not double glazed as this can be seen as an easy entrance point.
