The most important aspect of any front door is its ability to keep residents safe and secure. And while traditional wood front doors keep your home safe to a degree, there is a very effective way to greatly increase your home's security ---- Replacing your door with a new iron entry door.
Here are a few examples of what make iron doors more safe & secure than wood doors:
Iron Doors Are Durable and High Quality
The material that a door is made out of plays a major role in your home's safety. Wood may be a common material used for doors, but they are inferior when compared to the durability, strength, and build-quality of wrought iron doors.
Iron Doors from Tuscan Iron Entries are manufactured using 12 gauge and 14 gauge steel. Because of this, the doors are exceptionally sturdy and are unable to be bent, broken, or cut open. Contrarily, doors made of wood are much more easily manipulated by potential intruders; They can be bent, broken, or cut open by force.
Iron Doors Are Intimidating To Intruders
Iron entry doors make a strong statement to everyone who sees them, including potential intruders. One glance at a heavy wrought iron door is often enough to deter potential intruders from attempting a break-in. Burglars most commonly identify the weakest points of entry prior to breaking into a home. Installing an iron door is a great way to dissuade them from choosing your home for intrusion.
Iron Doors Allow For Better Visibility
As a homeowner, active break-ins aren't the only safety concern. Sometimes the biggest threats are beyond your front door. Being able to see outside the front door without needing to open it is important when it comes to home safety. While wood doors may have peepholes or small glass panes, wrought iron doors offer much better visibility options without compromising on security.
Iron doors from Tuscan Iron Entries come standard with tempered and insulated double-paned glass panels. These panels are securely hinged to the interior side of the door. Owners are able to conveniently look through the glass and have a clear view of their home's outside surroundings.
Other Safety Benefits
The safety benefits are virtually endless with iron entry doors. Whether it be its ability to withstand high winds and moisture, or its compatibility with smart locks and single sided deadbolts, or its incredibly long lifespan, an iron door's safety benefits far outnumber that of a traditional wood door.
