Maintaining a safe and secure home is important. All homeowners want to keep intruders out, hence why the market is inundated with security systems, video doorbells, spotlights, and more. Have you thought about whether your front door is an enticement or deterrent to potential thieves, though? Would replacing it with double doors make a difference? Keep reading to find out.
Will Double Doors Provide the Security Needed?
In short, yes. Double doors can be created to provide just as much security as a single-entry door. When opting for iron, you’ll quickly discover how much of a deterrent it can be simply because of its aesthetics.
Intruders who may be looking to break in will be put off by the appearance. Their heavy material and level of difficulty in trying to knock the doors down will often lead thieves to choose another house or give up once they get a good look.
Of course, some homeowners may feel secure knowing the frame is made of iron but what about glass panels? This can be remedied in a few ways:
- Make sure you have the right kind of deadbolt (double-cylinder)
- Choose security film to be placed over the glass so that it does not shatter if broken
- Opt for wrought iron designs, as this will make it harder for thieves to maneuver the intricate details to try and break the glass
