An additional deadbolt is not just a complement: it is the barrier that turns a vulnerable door into a truly protected door. Modern deadbolts are designed to resist techniques such as prying, bumping, picking, or impressioning.
Installing a security deadbolt has a direct effect on any attempted robbery:
- It doubles the time the intruder needs to gain access, which increases the chances of them giving up.
- It forces the use of specific tools and forcing with greater effort.
- It generates noise during the opening attempt, eliminating the discretion that any robbery needs.
The result is a door that ceases to be an attractive target to become a real obstacle.
