Because people who would do that already know how to break in through a door. This is to help people make their doors more secure and to prevent people from breaking in. Below are some of the main ways people get through a door.

front doors with sidelights for sale Some Locks Are Easily Forced Open.
auto glass repair half moon bayWe all like to think that our door is nice and secure with that multi-point locking system. If it locks in six different places, no one could force their way through, right? But the trouble is if the door is not fitted right or if its sash is not made properly, you can pop open one of these locks in less than 10 seconds.

(This is not the case with all locks. The locks with hooks or shoot bolts built in can not be popped open and if you are thinking of getting a new door, make sure you have ether the hook or shoot bolts in your lock.) The lock that you need to watch out for is the 4 cam roller lock with tongue and dead bolt. In factory tests, it is impossible to pop open because the deadbolt prevents it. But in the real world it's easy to pop it open. When the door is being made and welded, it often happens that the welder melts a bit to much of the door sash. So now when the lock is fitted, it does not have the recommended cover to prevent the door being popped open. Also, if the frame is not fixed properly to the wall, then when a nail bar is used to prise it open, the frame will move back and allow the lock to be popped open. A burglar does not know what type of lock you have, but they will try to pop the lock open first, and if that fails they will than look at the hinge side. Door PanelA door panel is the solid part of the door.

Well, it looks solid, but in fact it is only two plastic skins filled with Styrofoam in the centre. You can get these panels reinforced (and most window companies would use reinforced panels), but it is cheaper for a window company to buy the panels without reinforcement. To look at them, you can't tell the difference. But if someone knows what he is doing, he can go through a unreinforced panel in sixty seconds. A handheld blowtorch will burn a hole big enough for a person to go through in a minute or less. The reason a person would choose this method is if there's an alarm sensor on the door. They won't set it of because the door sash frame won't move. GlassMost people think the glass in the door is the weakest spot. But door glass is usually safety glass, which is very hard to break, and will also make a lot of noise if broken. So if an expert thief is going to break glass, he will just go to a window first. Lock Snapping This is when someone snaps your door cylinder, then slides in a new one and opens your door.

The part they snap is the cylinder (were the key goes in). What they do is grip the cylinder with a vice grip, then move it over and back. Sometimes they might also have to break of some of the handle to get a good grip, but if the cylinder is sticking out enough, they won't have to. The best way to prevent this from happing is to have anti-snap cylinders fitted. They can be fitted in a matter of seconds. If you are going to replace the cylinders yourself, then first take out the old one and measure the length plus measure from outside to centre screw hole. Once you have the measurements, you can then just buy your new cylinders online or call down to your local window company. Some hardware stores now also stock them. But just make sure that it is anti-snap cylinder that you get as there are many different types on the market Unscrewing the HingesIf your PVC door opens outwards, that means your hinges are on the outside. Some hinges have a security cap covering the screws and the only way to get this off is when the door is opened.

But a lot of door hinges have only a cap that clips on, so a person only has to unclip the cap and unscrew the screws and in they go. This will only take about 90 seconds to do with a battery screwdriver. Some window fabricators fit a security claw to the door so if some one does unscrew the hinges, the door still won't open on the hinge side. But this is an extra cost to the fabricator and these security claws are left off most doors. Some burglars may take a different approach and decide not to go near the locks or hinges, but will instead try and go through the door panel. ConclusionIf you are getting a new door, just make sure you have a good locking system with hooks or shoot bolts built in. If your door opens outwards, than make sure a security claw is fitted to the hinge side and if your door comes with a panel make sure it is a reinforced panel. But if you already have new windows and doors, the best thing you can do is look for ways to upgrade them.
