Advantages of burglar-proof windows and doors

You may already be the proud owner of a state-of-the-art security system that offers 360 degree surveillance of your property. However, unless your system can physically stop an intruder, there is little it can do to actually prevent an intrusion.

A robust security system is one that uses digital techniques as well as conventional methods to protect your property. Whilst you may already have the digital aspects in place, conventional measures such as the installation of security windows and doors, may not yet form part of your defence against the criminals.

Burglar proof windows and doors are fundamental components of a comprehensive security system. They offer a variety of advantages and exhibit several advantageous features. Let's have a look at some of them:

Burglar Proof Windows and Doors


Burglar proof windows

Burglar proof windows are designed specifically to keep unwanted individuals on the other side of your windows. To achieve this, security windows encompass many features that make it difficult for burglars to gain access.

Starting with the locks, there are some options on the market that provide enhanced levels of security. For example, Keyed locks require unique keys to open them and cannot be easily tampered with. Another form of lock is the Pin lock. Pin locks are highly recommended for ground floor windows.

One of the most effective features of the burglar-proof window is the use of strengthened glass. Tempered glass for example, is four times stronger than standard annealed glass. Tempered glass is subjected to repeated phases of heating and cooling to maximise its strength, and as a result is very difficult to break.

Burglar proof doors

Security doors, in one form or another, have been a feature of the home for centuries. They are the means of protecting your home from external threats. Because they are the first point of access for many intruders attempting to break-in, choosing a high quality, robust front door is crucial in helping to form the first line of your defence.

Standard doors can be forced open by someone who knows what they are doing as they are not tough enough to resist high impacts. Security doors on the other hand are designed to withstand brute force. They are manufactured using a number of materials that give them strength and durability. Additionally, the hinges on security doors are attached in such a way that they can’t be accessed from the outside.

Whilst being extremely effective against those intent on causing criminal damage, burglar-proof doors are also a great way to protect your property against harsh weather. Additionally, materials used in the manufacturing of security doors help to insulate them, limiting the transfer of heat and therefore reducing energy costs.
