Criminals tend to target homes that look less secure and easy to access. If you are worried about potential burglars breaking into your home, you will want to examine your home from the viewpoint of a thief. You need to do a complete walk around the home to determine how easy it would be to break into your home. Begin with the front of the home and ask yourself the following:

What is the front door made of?

Could it easily be opened using a crowbar or other such tools?

Do you have security screens on your windows and doors?

Is there sufficient lighting on the front of the home at night?

Next, move on to the sides and rear of the home asking similar questions. If you have a garage, you also want to evaluate the security of the garage. If there is a door and/or window, could these easily be broken to gain entry into the garage and home?

After you do your assessment, you will most likely want to make some improvements to your front door, patio door, and other doors on your home. Some of the best front doors for safety are iron front doors. They are considered the safest front door and can also be used on other entrances into the home to increase security.

A skilled burglar can pop the rotting frame out and gain entry into your home.
