A break-in is every homeowner’s worst nightmare, so if you’re looking to improve your home security, the best place to start is with your doors. Don’t allow your home to be an easy target for burglars, a security door is a simple and effective way to deter thieves from attempting to break into your home. Jim’s Security Doors offers a comprehensive choice of doors and features to ensure you are able to choose the best door for your home and needs.
Security doors are certainly not all the same, and nor should they be! Just as your house has been designed, decorated, and fitted to suit your needs and aesthetic preferences, so it follows that your security door should also. Burglars often access a home through the front door, so a security door is an important safety feature to protect your home and its contents from thieves. The locks on a regular front door are generally no match for an experienced thief with the right tools. All doors available through Jim’s Security Doors have passed rigorous Australian Standards testing and each door is custom-made to your specifications.
Gone are the days when the only options for security doors were heave-duty fortress-style gates. Nowadays security doors can be customized to individual tastes and colour schemes as well as circumstances. Before considering which security door is right for your home, it is worth considering what factors are important or relevant to you in making your choice.
- Do you live alone and want a security door that will allow you to see out without answering the door?
- Do you have kids or dogs and need a door that will withstand heavy, rough usage?
- Do you live in a period-style home and want a door that will match its more ornate design?
- Do you prefer a sleek modern style?
- Would you prefer a design that is easy to clean?
- Do you live in a coastal area where the salty air causes metal to corrode quickly?
- Do you want an affordable security door in a classic style?
- Do you live in a high-crime area and want a steel door that will protect you from intruders?
- Do you want to update your home’s kerb appeal?
- Do you want to ventilate your home with fresh air without compromising your security or exposing yourself to insect nuisance?
- Are the colour choices available going to complement your home?
- Do you want to save on your insurance premium by installing a security door?
There are many security features to consider when selecting a security door to install. Below are some key desirable attributes for the best protection to consider before you make your purchase:
- Look for a door that’s made from aluminum or steel for premium strength and durability. Steel is the stronger material, but aluminum is a great affordable alternative and is available in ornate grille designs to complement your home.
- Consider a solid steel core for extra strength.
- A steel frame offers the best protection.
- A triple locking system can be added to security doors to provide an additional measure of protection against break-ins.
- Getting your door professionally installed is the best way to ensure your home is protected. It may seem like a DIY opportunity but an incorrectly installed security door may not be effective against a break-in so it’s always best to engage a professional.
