Home invasions are a common occurrence in many areas of the country. Doors
are the prominent access points for burglars, followed by windows and other
access points. Securing ones doors is therefore the most important entry points
to secure.
Many people live by themselves or with a partner where they may be particularly
vulnerable. Increasing security, especially security to the main access points
such as doors and windows may be important for many homeowners and renters but
cost is often a factor that prevents them from taking preventative measures.

on with few requiring any kind of drilling.
It is important that many of the affordable door devices act as deterrents
for the would be thieves. Note that many of them have alarms that go off when
an entry poit is breached. This is because a very loud alarm is one of a burglars
worst nightmares. It helps slow them down or make them turn around and give
you ample warning to escape or call for help.
