The Advantages Of Door Frame Reinforcement

By Kathleen Schmidt


There is an increasing trend for people to install security systems or even get a guard dog. These are both very good idea but they are not really ideal ways to make your home more secure. There is also a number of options when it comes to door frame reinforcement. Reinforcements is an idea that is very much worth taking time to consider. The best security method for you to use will vary depending on the 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 ordering these locks opt for grade one level as these are the best ones to get. These locks feature five pins with a through piece of one inch. These locks do not have any screws on the outside therefore making it impossible for the them to be removed unless on the inside. The main benefit of these locks is that they can be seen from the outside but there is no key that can be used from outside therefore there is no way of opening them from the outside unless you actually damage the lock and this is not a very easy thing 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.

When you are getting a new exterior entrance it is best to opt for a style which does not incorporate glass and if you are not going to get a new door then the glass could be replace with reinforced glass. Reinforced glass can be a bit safer and to make it more secure you could make use of a grill or grate on the outside of the glass.

Have a look at the door hinges that you have as well as these may be old or badly fitted. If hinges are not very good this is also not a very good security point as the door could be kicked to get it to open.
