There is an expanding interest in installing security devices or some people even get a guard dog. These are both ideas that are good and can work however there is some better ideas that you could try. Installing reinforcements such as door frame reinforcement is something that is worth considering. The security method that will be best for you will vary based onthe type of house that you have.

Deadbolt locks are a good idea to increase the level of security on the house. These locking systems are very good quality and they are very strong. This style of lock can be installed on a wide range of entrance including garage, exterior or even interior doors. It will be worth taking time to have a good look at the different options that are available for these locks so that you get the one that will work best for you and suit your style.

When getting one of these locks get the grade one locks and one that has a five pin tumblr with a threw pin of one inch. These locks should not have any screws on the exterior therefore making it impossible to take it off from the outside. The main advantage of these locks is that although they can be seen from the outside there is no external key therefore the burglar cannot use any kind of key device to open it and the only way to open it is to damage the door which is not something that is easy to do.

Sturdy frames and doors are another good idea to make the home safer. There is really no point installing deadlock bolts it can be simply kicked down. When you are evaluating the security of your house you should look at how strong the door and frames are that you have on the property.

Both the interior and external doors should have a solid frame. When you are looking for a new door it is best to consider ones that are made from solid wood, fibreglass or even metal. Remember that both the frame and the door need to be strong in order to increase the level of security on the building.

Grates, grilles sand braces are other things that could be considered. Partial glass and full length sliding doors are really not the safest of options as they can easily be broken. If you really want to have doors like this then you could consider using grilles or grates over the outside in order to make the home safer.

If you decide that you are going to get a new exterior door it would be best to opt for one that is solid as there is no area that can be broken. If you really do want to have glass on the entrance then look at getting reinforced glass as this will be a bit safer but still not ideal. You could opt to have reinforced glass with a grate or grill on the outside.

Hinges are another important thing that you should carefully look at. Bad quality hinges or broken hinges can make it very easy for the door to be kicked in or the door could easily be removed.
