If you are considering security screens for your home, but perhaps can’t afford to do the whole house in one go, then it’s worth considering doing a few key locations on your home. Installing a security door on your entrance door provides a number of significant benefits, including:
1. Security doors provide improved safety:
Increasing your home’s security is one of the top goals of installing a security door. Security doors are built to withstand forceful entry and are manufactured from sturdy materials like stainless steel mesh and aluminum. And with Prowler Proof security doors, you can feel even more secure knowing that they include compliant Lockwood triple point locks, toughened welded frames, and other features, such as our bonding method that make it much more difficult for burglars to break in.
2. Protection against the elements:
Security doors can act as an extra line of defense against inclement weather, such as high gusts, rain, and cold temperatures. They provide an increased level of insulation, as proven in WERS testing.
3. Better ventilation and visibility:
Modern security doors include mesh choices, such as woven stainless steel and perforated aluminium, that let you safely let the natural light and fresh air in, while keeping your main front door open. In the warmer months, when you’re wanting to let air into your home without sacrificing security, security doors are invaluable. The added benefit of keeping insects out is also provided.
4. Security doors are a visual deterrent to intruders:
The mere existence of a security door has been proven in research to be a strong disincentive to potential burglars. When thieves see a security door, they are deterred from even trying to break-in because they prefer easier targets without obvious security measures.
5. Provide children and elderly protection:
Having a security door is an extra line of defense for the more vulnerable in your home. Young children tend to open front doors, without thought about who could be on the other side of the door. The same applies to elderly, when opening the front door to unknown visitors security doors provide another level of protection for them.
As you can see, installing a security door can add a range of benefits to your home, above and beyond security alone. They’re a great investment for your family. To get the process started, book a measure and quote appointment with one of our dealers.
