Internet sleuthing for home security resulted in a printable Home Security Checklist from a Security Bar Company. Here are some of the questions listed under "DOORS":
- Have you re-keyed your locks since you moved in?
- Do your doors have a wide-angle peephole viewer?
- Are entrance doors equipped with 1” good quality dead bolts?
- Is glass in outside doors at least 40” from the lock?
- Is the glass in outside doors shatter resistant?
- Do you have a patio door bar fastened into both the frame and the door to securely lock the door?
- Have you inserted screws into the top track of your patio door to prevent it from being lifted up and removed?
- Do you have decals on your patio door indicating that you use an alarm system even if you don’t?
