What You Should Know About Door Frame Reinforcement

By Kathleen Schmidt


Security systems are becoming very popular as people try to make their home safer. Some people have even been known to go to the extent of getting a guard dog. There is several door frame reinforcement options that you can choose from. Using reinforcements is a good idea and it is a good idea to take time to look at the different choices that you have. The best system, of security for you will depend on the type and style of house that you have.

Deadbolt locks are probably one of the first things that you should look at when it comes to making your house more secure. These are a strong and high quality locking system which can be installed on all doors regardless of whether they are interior or exterior doors. These locks can even be used on garage doors therefore they are something worth looking at. These locks are fitted in addition to the built-in locks.

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.

A solid core should be present in both the interior and external door. Doors are best when they are made from solid wood, fibreglass or even metal. If the door is strong but the frame could be better then you could just replace the frame and keep the door.

Braces, grills and grates are also features that are worth considering in an effort to make the home safer. Doors that have partial glass or full length glass are not very good from a security point of view although they do look good. Any glass on a door can provide the ideal way for someone to access the property without permission.

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.
