Daryn Weatherman on Choosing the Best Exterior
Security Door
The first thing that you should take into
consideration when choosing an exterior door for
your home are the materials that the door is made
from the most reliable and effective doors are
often made from fiberglass or steel.  While many
homeowners believe that would is just as
effective, Daryn notes that wood doors are easier
to damage and allow thieves to get into your
home. Steel based doors are more effective
because they cannot be breached with common
burglary tools.  If you believe that your home
would look more appealing with a wood door, there
are some options available to you.  Many
manufacturers have created security doors that
look like wood but offer you the protection of
steel.

Practical and Attractive Glass
There are many benefits to having a patio door
that you can install or have installed by a
professional. Not only will a patio door be an
upgrade to your home it also adds additional
ventilation. Having a patio door will enhance a
room by allowing light indoors, If you feel that
by adding a patio door will be a risk to your
homes security, think again.  Patio doors are
made with heavy duty glass that will resist
normal impacts and a burglar that wants to gain
access will not want to draw attention by
breaking the glass on the door. Locks on todays
patio doors are strong and in combination with a
security bar will also add an additional
hindrance by not allowing your door to be
unhinged or taken off of its track.

Glass Project in Your Home
Think first about what you need to make your life
easier. A good place to start is to look at all
the broken or chipped glass in your home to see
where any problems lie. Is your coffee tables
glass top chipped? Does your bay window have a
crack down the center? There is no time like the
present to take care of these basic needs related
to shelter and safety. Then, consider any special
needs you might have. It is difficult to find a
competent glass installer who will design and
complete a glass project to allow full
accessibility for a disabled resident.
