Frequently Asked Questions on Security Doors
If you are considering purchasing a security door for your house, there may be several questions flooding your mind, especially since it is not a small purchase. To ensure you make the right decision is it important to ask the right questions.
Below we have answered a few common questions that most home-owners have before making a purchase:
1. Are Security Doors Important?
Often, people decide on purchasing a security door when they shift into their new home but easily forget about it. One month passes by and very soon it has been a year that they have been compromising their home security by not getting a safety door. It is only after an unpredictable break-in they realise that they should have installed a security door as soon as they moved into their house.
However, by then, it is too late! Such situations often arise because people do not understand how important security doors are and their purpose which is to protect your property, rendering an impression of not being an easy target. You may be living in the safest zone and think your house does not need one.
However, burglars are unpredictable and attack when people least expect them. Therefore, it is better to be safe than sorry!
2. Can Security Screens Prevent Break-ins?
People often question the efficiency of a high-quality security door in keeping intruders away. However, what people do not know is that they were designed to keep intruders away.
Not only are they meant to look like it would be a challenge to break-in but it is also fully equipped with the necessary features to make it challenging and even impossible for burglars to intrude.
Most high-quality safety screens these days even come with a security system that alerts you at once as soon as someone tries to pick your lock and even alerts the authorities.
3. Which is the Best Kind of Safety Screen?
The best kind of safety screen for you would mean one that perfectly fits your requirements. A safety door is considered the perfect pick if it-
- Fits within your budget
- Provides the features that you are looking for
- Has the additional system such as cameras, motion sensors, alarms, etc.
- Has the appearance/ aesthetics you are looking for to match your house
Safety screens are available in a variety of materials, sizes, and colors. The top 3 kinds in the market are steel, wood, and iron. Steel is preferred for its price and its aesthetic appeal, while wood is loved for its warm touch and its wooden appearance. Since wood is more expensive, people often opt for steel or aluminium as they are rust-free and easy to maintain.
4. Does the Installation Process Matter?
Yes, of course! Installation is just as essential as purchasing a good quality safety screen. If the installation isn't done the right way and your safety door isn't sturdily fixed, it could be ineffective at keeping burglars at bay. It is essential to first consider where exactly you want to install your safety door and it would be preferable if you get it installed by a professional from the place you purchase it.
In a nutshell, safety doors play a significant role in keeping intruders at bay. Therefore, you should not compromise the safety of your loved ones and your property by not installing one. Not only must you purchase one but also ensure that it is installed in the right way.
