They Are Called Stable Doors for a Reason
When it comes to protecting your family and your home, it pays to make sure that every aspect of your security is up to a high standard. Whether this is a fully functional and regularly tested professionally fitted burglar alarm; motion sensors inside your house; or bars on your windows to prevent access and stop intruders taking your possessions; there are a wide range of measures that can be taken to ensure you are affording your home the best possible protection.
One of the best ways to protect your home from potential burglars is to make sure that it is not easy to gain access through the doors; it is not something that most people usually think about, since gaining access is precisely what a door is for, but when a thief wants to get inside your house, the door is the obvious point of entry. After all, it is surrounded by brick, and windows are not easy to get in and out of: how else are they going to do it?
If a thief spots an old style, wooden panel door on the front of your home when he or she is scouting the neighbourhood for potential targets, this can often act as an invitation. Every burglar knows that a few swift kicks to a wooden panel door will dislodge a panel or rip the lock out of the frame, providing easy access to your valuable possessions, and worse should you or your family be home at the time. Even if only on the back of your house it is not as safe to have an old oak or pine door, as thieves are meticulous when they are planning where to strike, and they are more than likely to spot this.
A UPVC composite door is usually the best place to spend your money when you are looking to improve the security of your home. Standing up to repeated blows is a breeze, and thieves know this, so are less inclined to attempt a break in to start with. Also, there is little danger of dislodging the lock with brute force, so UPVC composites not only provide protection, but also act as a deterrent.
There are several styles of UPVC composite doors available too, with stable doors on the increase in popularity. These doors are not only stylish, but also possess all the protective attributes of their solid, one piece composite cousins, meaning that you can prevent break ins and improve your home with one purchase.
UPVC composite doors are a great way to protect your home with a minimum of cost involved; but do not think you have to have a boring door, as stable doors are just as effective as their one piece composite cousins.
