Police reports and security studies consistently show that around 60% of burglaries occur through the front or back door. Criminals target weak locks, poor-quality doors, or glass panels they can smash to reach inside.

Common Entry Weaknesses

• Single-cylinder deadlocks that can be opened if glass panels are broken.
• Worn locks that can be forced open.
• Doors without proper reinforcement around the strike plate.
• Rarely used doors that are unknowingly unlocked.

Locksmith Solutions

• High-security deadbolts: Provide extra resistance to forced entry.
• Double-cylinder locks: Require a key on both sides, preventing entry even if glass is broken.
• Door reinforcements: Strengthen frames and strike plates.

Takeaway

If doors are the most common entry point, securing them should be the first priority. Professional locksmith services provide the strongest protection against forced entry.
