There Has Been A 24% Increase In Burglaries From 2021-2024. In recent years, home security has become a top priority for homeowners. With the rise in burglaries and break-ins, it’s essential to take steps to protect your home and loved ones. One effective way to enhance the security of your home is by investing in a high-quality composite door. Composite doors are known for their durability, strength, and resistance to forced entry, making them an excellent choice for preventing burglaries.
At Endurance, we offer a wide range of composite doors that are designed with security in mind. Selected door styles have been tested and assessed to meet the Secured by Design (SBD) standard, which is a UK Police initiative aimed at designing out crime. This means that our composite doors are 75% less likely to be burgled and offer protection against criminal damage. Enhanced Security Features of Our Composite Doors:
ABS Master Locking Cylinder: Our doors are equipped with an ABS master locking cylinder, which is a high-security lock that provides robust protection against lock snapping, drilling, and picking. This advanced locking system ensures that your door remains secure and tamper-proof.
Laminated Glass: The glass used in our SBD composite doors is laminated, which means it consists of multiple layers of glass with a layer of plastic in between. This makes the glass extremely difficult to break, providing an additional layer of security against forced entry.
Letterplate Cowl: All SBD Endurance doors are fitted with a letterplate cowl, which prevents burglars from accessing the lock mechanism through the letterbox. This simple yet effective feature adds an extra level of security to your home. In addition to these security features, our composite doors are made with a core of 17 engineered timber laminates, making them thicker and more secure than conventional composite doors. The hinges and glass used in our doors meet industry standards, ensuring durability and long-lasting security.
Tips to Enhance Home Security:
Install Security Cameras: Installing security cameras around your property can act as a deterrent for potential burglars. Make sure to place the cameras in strategic locations, such as near entry points and vulnerable areas.
Use Outdoor Lighting: Well-lit exteriors can discourage burglars from targeting your home. Install motion-sensor lights around your property to illuminate dark areas and make it harder for intruders to go unnoticed.
Secure Windows and Patio Doors: Don’t forget to secure your windows and patio doors as well. Consider installing window locks, reinforcing glass with security film, and using patio door locks or bars to prevent unauthorised access.
Join a Neighbourhood Watch: Participating in a neighbourhood watch programme can help create a sense of community and increase vigilance in your area. By working together with your neighbours, you can keep an eye out for suspicious activities and report them to the authorities. By taking these proactive measures and investing in a high-quality composite door from Endurance, you can significantly reduce the risk of burglaries and enjoy peace of mind knowing that your home is well-protected.
