When it comes to break-ins, burglars and intruders look for weak points in a property’s security. Whether it’s a home or business, certain entry points are more vulnerable than others. Understanding these weak spots can help you take proactive steps to reinforce them with reinforced security doors and screens that provide maximum protection.
Front Doors
The front door is often the first target for break-ins, with criminals either forcing their way in or exploiting weak locks and flimsy materials. Standard doors can be kicked in or compromised with tools, making it essential to install heavy-duty security doors with reinforced steel frames and impact-resistant locking mechanisms.
How to Secure It
- Install Shield Security Doors for high-strength protection.
- Upgrade to a multi-point locking system for added resistance.
- Use Crimsafe security screens to add an extra barrier without sacrificing airflow.
Windows
Windows provide easy access, especially when they’re left unlocked or made of fragile glass. Criminals often break or pry open windows to gain entry. In commercial settings, storefront windows are common targets for smash-and-grab thefts.
How to Secure It
- Install Crimsafe security screens as a key component of home security, featuring structural-grade stainless steel mesh that resists forced entry.
- In a commercial setting, use security window film to reinforce existing glass and prevent shattering.
For high security on your property – both commercial and residential – upgrade to Crimsafe window screens for added protection without blocking natural light or airflow.
Sliding Glass Doors
Sliding doors are an easy target due to their weak latches and breakable glass. Many burglars lift doors off their tracks or simply smash through the glass.
How to Secure It
- Install Crimsafe security screens with structural-grade stainless steel mesh.
- Use a security bar or track lock to prevent the door from being lifted.
- Upgrade to hurricane-rated sliding security doors for maximum strength.
Garage Doors
Garages are often overlooked in security planning, but they provide direct access to homes and businesses. Many intruders use garage door bypass techniques to gain entry.
How to Secure It
- Install a reinforced garage security door with an anti-kick plate.
- Use garage door locks and smart security systems to prevent unauthorized access.
- Upgrade to high-strength security screens for garage windows.
Back Doors and Side Entrances
Because they are less visible, back doors and side entrances are prime targets for break-ins. These doors are often weaker and lack proper reinforcement.
How to Secure It
- Use a Shield Security Door with a tamper-resistant frame.
- Install motion sensor lighting to deter potential intruders.
- Reinforce with security screens for ventilation without compromising security.
