An entrance door should be the most secure part of your home, as it is going to be the place where people can gain access to a property. There are lots of ways you can make it more secure, giving you and your family better peace of mind when you are out or at night time.

Choose a new door if you have any concerns about your existing one. If it feels wobbly, unstable or you notice wear and tear, a new door is a way forward. Choose a door that is made from durable material and that would make it difficult to gain forcible entry.

Make sure the locks are British Standard locks and are new and high quality. A strong lock will be your biggest defence against break-ins.

You can also consider a good alarm system and features like bolts, latches and spy holes to set your mind at ease.
