Whether it is a landed property or a high rise building such as a flat, there must be the proper forms of security installed to safeguard the property and occupants. Flat-dwellers need to consider the best of security for their abode as it is easier to break into a flat than houses.
Security options
Flat residences can be considered public spaces where others are allowed to walk about the premises especially if they are residents of the flat building. There are also flat workers such as door attendants, maintenance workers, security guards and administers who may not live in the flats but work there during office hours.
Flats allow outsiders to enter now and then which may have the security compromised; these could be visitors or flat residents, construction workers for a renovation task and utility contractors. Burglars and thieves may pose as legitimate visitors but divert to break in a flat when they are left to wander about the premises. Hence, it is crucial to install the best of security doors for flats to keep the undesirable and unwelcomed visitors at bay.
Although well managed flats have tight security measures implemented to avoid break-ins and burglaries, not all systems are fool-proof. There have been cases where flat break-ins were performed by the flat community.
Security doors
It is best for every flat resident to install the appropriate security doors at their flat unit to prevent possible break-ins. This would give them the peace of mind on their safety as well as that of their possessions inside the flat.
The market offers a plethora of security doors for flats. There are single security doors, double doors and leaf and half doors which are appropriate for flats depending on the owners’ budget and preferences. Flats can be renovated internally depending on the owner’s styles. Different rooms in the flat may have different security doors that are aesthetically pleasing in the desired style and finish.
Some flat residents may choose to have grille doors as an added security measure at their main entrance besides the solid wood security door. Security grilles are excellent in preventing a direct entry into the flat while flat residents can still open their main door to view the visitors before allowing an entry. These grilles form another level of protection against break-ins as there are high quality heavy-duty concertina grilles such as the Bradbury Crossguard CX3 grilles.
