SECURING DIFFERENT DOOR TYPES

Front door with glass: A common way to enter a home is to break a glass window near a door and simply reach in to unlock the door. A double cylinder deadbolt, or a special deadbolt that has a removable thumb-turn, can offer protection against this type of entry.

Front door without glass: A heavy duty tubular deadbolt lock provides good protection on a front door so long as it has at least a 1” bolt and can provide protection against picking, drilling, and other forms of physical attack.

Garage door: Be sure to put a deadbolt on the door between your garage and home as many garage doors are easily opened by errant radio signals.

Securing windows: Windows should be secured with either locking hardware that utilizes a key for operation or with removable pins so that a burglar cannot easily force the window open.

Utility doors: Any storage door or basement door should be secured with the same types of locks as the other doors on the home. A burglar can easily identify the least secure door on a home and will often use it to gain entrance. Typically these type of doors should be secured with a good quality deadbolt.

Remember that your security is only as good as the weakest link in your security strategy. All elements must be considered in concert with one-another for the most reliable system.
