In this article, we will give you the advantages and benefits of installing a security door on your home.
Better Security
Security doors were made to protect your home from intruders. How do I choose a security door? When choosing security doors, you want to choose a door that will not only protect your home but also beautify it. Here are a couple things to keep in mind when choosing what type of security door to install.
Frame Strength
Security doors that are built with wrought iron or steel frames will usually offer the best protection from intruders. These quality doors will also last a lifetime and won't break down over time like wood or plastic doors will.
Security Screens
The screen in your security door should be made out of aluminum or stainless steel for the best protection and security. It's very common for security doors to be built with vinyl screens, so if you are getting a custom security door fabricated, make sure and ask for a metal screen.
Strong Dead Bolts
Make sure your security door comes equipped with a strong dead bolt lock for extra protection.
Pin Hinges - Make sure the pin hinges on your security door
are hidden or can't be removed. That's the easiest way for an intruder to get
in your home even though you have a security door installed.
Adds Beauty
Security doors can be built custom with a variety of styles and colors to match your home. This adds curb appeal to your home. Although, you won't find custom security doors at Home Depot or Lowes, you are going to need a custom metal fabricator to build your door for you.
Energy Savings
Security doors are great because they can actually save you money on your AC and heating bills. During the hot summer months in Arizona, you can leave your front door open and allow the breeze to flow through, lessening your need for AC. During the cold months, you can put glass panels in where the screen used to be. This will create insulation between your entry door and the security door, lessening the loss of heat and saving your money.
Beauty & Convenience
Security doors give your the convenience and beauty of a window but with security of a iron door. This allows for ventilating of your home and allows natural light to make its way in.
