New Front Doors

If you look to the left of the door opening, you should be able to make out the original front door leaning up against the exterior wall. See the mail-slot in it? This project was the result of a break-in. You can probably understand how being in the door installation business has placed us on the heels of many a burglary. We could maybe write a book about doors and burglaries and the things clients have told us that the police have told them. One thing we hear fairly frequently is that if someone wants to get in bad enough, there’s no stopping them.

But the good news is that while someone could drive their car through your wall if they wanted to get in bad enough, there aren’t that many burglars willing to try something like that. The point being that there is some merit to making it as difficult as reasonably possible for someone to get into your house because; 1. The cost of a new door is nothing compared to having certain personal belongings stolen. 2. I’ve seen many damaged doors where the burglar gave up and left because it was too difficult and they were having to make too much noise to get in.
