The entryway of your home is the typical place that entry is gained by criminals. The second more popular method is to sneak around to the back of the house and break through either a window or a glass door. The main reasons that these points of entry are popular is that the person who is going to break in can act as though they belong there without bringing suspicion about from anyone who passes by. They will typically approach the home like any solicitor or guest and ring the doorbell. They will patiently wait to see if anyone answers, and if nobody does then they will make sure nobody is looking from other homes. They will then simply kick in the door when they are not being watched, or break a glass window next to the door and unlock it by reaching through. The standard door that is affixed to most homes provides almost no level of security, as they are made from cheap woods or pressboards glued together. No matter how many deadbolts you install, the door breaks out at the hinges when kicked hard enough and falls in. If you have installed a security system, it will alarm and a few minutes will go by before the police are called. This is because the majority of alarms are false, so the security systems give some time to home owners to call in to say it was a false alarm. In the case of an actual crime, this gives a few minutes inside the home to the criminals. Even once the calls are made to police, it will be a few more minutes before they arrive, giving the criminal plenty of time to steal things from you and leave. Even if you have security cameras, these types of crimes rarely get solved because it is difficult to prove who a person is by security footage.
The best thing you can do to protect yourself is to make it nearly impossible for the criminal to kick in the door. This is accomplished by putting a barrier in between the wooden door that acts as a privacy screen and the outside world. Iron entryway doors are nearly impossible to breach, and welded ones like the types that we produce are even harder. The iron is nearly impossible to cut without a blowtorch, and the welds make it nearly impossible to break through with a hammer. The criminal would have to take a long time working on the door in public to get through it, and this is usually enough to make a thief move on to the next target. Criminals are opportunistic, meaning that they will almost always choose targets that are without risk of them getting caught. Put up an iron barrier that they are going to have to work to get through and make a lot of noise doing it, and most criminals will choose to move on to the next soft target.
It is nearly impossible to completely prevent crime. The way that you have to think about it is that if you make the criminal's life difficult then he will move on to the next target that is easier to hit. This is not going to reduce crime in your area in general, but it will reduce the amount of crime that happens to you. Through the installation of iron entryway doors, you are going to take away the advantage that they have at gaining entry into your home using the weaknesses that they have experience with. They are going to move on to the next home that exhibits those weaknesses, and while this is certainly a sad state, at least it isn't going to happen to you and your family.
