You might not have really thought about what goes into security doors. Your back door might have a retractable screen door like the phantom retractable screen doors we carry. Just spring-bolt locks often secure garage doors and side doors.

Most of us lock our door as we leave and don’t give it a second thought, however the reality is your spring-bolt locks might not be enough if someone tries to break in. Spring-bolt locks are vulnerable to a lot of methods of break ins, like lockpicks and ram-raiding. However, dead-bolts can only be opened the key.

You might be thinking that most of your doors have dead-bolts, so why do you need security doors? Well, robbers won’t be opening the dead-bolt, but with enough force they can break your door. Good security doors however, have reinforcements in key places like the strike plates and the door frame. These reinforcements will stop the dead-bolt from popping out if they try forcing it.
