When you fortify your exterior doors, you impose passive resistance to deter intruders.

Criminal data science shows that if delayed by more than about ninety seconds, a burglar often leaves in search of an easier access point, or a different home altogether.

Many burglars use simple tools, such as crowbars and screwdrivers, to break into homes. If your front door is not strong enough, it can be easily forced open.

Criminals also say, “glass doesn’t exist,” when targeting a home – consider reinforcing glass within four feet of a door lock with security film.

Your best all around option for exterior doors and home security is a steel door with a steel frame.
