To answer this question we must know exactly what security door for our home or business suits best our needs.
Our main objective is to protect our space and the contents inside from intruders. We would like a real physical unbreackable barrier for the intruder .
EUROSEGUR confirms that “time” is a defining factor in security.
- The door is a time obstacle (although there is no inviolable door, it still should act as a real physical barrier against the attacker).
- We should not only focus on the type of material, iron or wood, or the number of locks there are, as these facts can be misleading.
- We would like that our door presents the greatest resistance against attack to prevent theft .
Besides thieves always look for easier doors to manipulate.
- Usually burglars act at random, they don´t know the value of what they can steal or whether the next door neighbour on the left is" richer " than the one on the right.
- They are more concerned about not being discovered and that they can escape quickly.
- The time available is limited and they risk at being discovered at any time.
- Therefore, burglars will always act where they find doors easy to open so as to avoid time waste and noise.
Conclusion:
If you install a door in your home or business, think that your security and peace is an investment and not an expense. Choose a security door that will guarantee resistance against attack. This has to be the main reason for your purchase.
- A door with little resistance against attack is an expense. If a burglar chooses such a door there will be a high posibility of opening it. Therefore this type of door will not have fulfilled the purpose for which it was purchased and depending on the damage caused it will have to be repaired or replaced by another .
- A door with a high resistance against attack is an investment. If a burglar chooses such a door there will be a low posibility of opening it. Therefore this type of door will have successfully fulfilled the purpose for which it was installed, RESISTANCE AGAINST ATTACK, and depending on the damage caused you will only have to replace some of its components.
