Keep Burglars Out: Discover 5 Ways to Secure Your Front Door

Go on vacation knowing your home is safe, go to bed with peace of mind, and go out with confidence - well-secured doors and windows are essential. Even though burglars are constantly evolving, security measures are keeping pace. Discover 5 ways to better secure your doors (and windows) against intruders.

Secustrips: An Iron Barrier against Burglars

Did you know that the favorite way for burglars to enter is the old-fashioned crowbar? The intruder inserts a crowbar, screwdriver, or claw hammer between the door and the frame and forces it open within 30 seconds. 

Anti-burglary strips keep these burglars out. These metal strips are attached to the frames of your door and form a solid barrier. They prevent burglars from using a screwdriver, crowbar, or other tools to access the door by wedging them between the door and the frame.

Secustrips, available at Grottendieck Bezuidenhout, are highly effective and an excellent investment in the security of your home. They are easy to customize and fit any door and window.

Security Fittings: Sturdy Protection for Your Door

To make it even easier for a burglar, ensure that the cylinder of the lock protrudes slightly. The burglar uses pliers and pulls the cylinder out of the lock.

To prevent this, security fittings are an essential part of securing your front door. This special fitting is equipped with a cylinder lock with core extraction protection, making it nearly impossible for burglars to pull the cylinder out of the lock.

Additionally, the fitting is usually equipped with an extra hardened metal plate on the outside, making it resistant to drilling, knocking, and other burglary techniques.

Additional pin Lock: Extra Locking for Maximum Security

An additional door lock provides an extra layer of security for your front door. This lock is installed in addition to the main lock and provides additional locking. The additional door lock can be operated with a separate key and is ideal when you want to further secure your front door, especially during vacations or at night. Our professionals can expertly install this lock and ensure it seamlessly fits your door.

Door Viewer: A Clear View of Who's at Your Door

A door viewer, also known as a peephole, is a small but important security device for your front door. With a door viewer, you can safely and discreetly see who is at your door before opening it. This gives you the opportunity to identify unwanted visitors and avoid potential risks.

Door viewers have different viewing angles and zoom options, allowing you to have a clear view of what is happening outside. For example, in a gallery with apartments, you need a wide view, while at the end of a long hallway, you may prefer to look further away.

Door Chain: Secure Communication without Fully Opening the Door

A door chain is a great option for safely communicating with people without fully opening the door. This small but powerful security device can be installed on your front door and allows you to open the door just slightly.

This allows you to have conversations and potentially exchange documents while maintaining control over who enters. If someone tries to push the door open, the door chain prevents it from opening further.
