BENEFITS OF SECURITY DOORS Obviously, the whole point of your security door is to prevent break-ins. You can get protection against drills, and use hinge screws on the hidden hinges. Hinge screws make sure your door can’t be opened even if the hinge pins have been removed. However, you might not have imagined the other advantages to security doors: FIRE RESISTANT Because your door will be made of steel to make it strong against burglars, you also get resistance to fire. Galvanized metal is hard to burn, and even if you manage to burn your door, it burns very slowly. For this reason, some people even use steel doors inside their homes, to prevent a fire from spreading quickly. ENERGY SAVING You might not think about this one, since it’s not obvious. During the summer, when it’s hotter, you can bolt your security door and leave your main door open. This way, you keep pests out, and keep your home secure, while creating a breeze. With that breeze, you’ll avoid using your AC as much. In the winter, when it starts cooling down, the extra layer of steel will insulate your doorway against cold wind and escaping heat. NATURAL LIGHTING Much like allowing a breeze in hot weather, leaving your main door open will bring extra natural light in. You can use that extra light to brighten up your space, making it look larger. Alternatively, you can use that extra natural light to use less electricity, helping you save even more energy.
