How a wide angle door viewer can help keep you safe.

You have just finished your evening meal and are about to take care of the dishes before flopping out in front of the TV. Why not, you have earned your rest, it was a tough day at work and the commute home on this dark evening was a nightmare.

Just as you get up from your chair however, there is a ring on your front door bell. You are not expecting anyone over. You go to the door, but before opening it you use the door viewer to check who is calling. Top marks, it is not wise to open your door when you have no idea who is there, it could be someone that would do you harm, possibly with home invasion in mind.

Looking through the peephole you see a young woman, slightly built and looking slightly distressed. Doesn't seem a threat in any way. So you open your door and there, a little distance from the young woman's side, is the slightly menacing figure of a tall and well built man.

If you had seen the man you would not have opened your door at anytime of the day, let alone on a dark evening. But too late, you opened up, now what?

Are the intentions of the couple entirely innocent? Or is the young man deliberately over to the side so that you could not observe him with your door viewer?

Your trusty peephole let you down. This is because it has a narrow field of vision, good for seeing whoever is standing right in front of the door but not so good if they stand over to one side.

A wide angle door viewer on the other hand, would have given you a wider field of vision. You would have seen the harmless appearing young lady and seen her not so harmless looking accomplice.

Replacing your existing peephole with a wide vision door viewer is often a simple matter of swapping them over, in some cases the hole may need a little enlargement. If your door does not already have a viewer, then you will need to drill a hole at a suitable height.

Of course you can always go one better and get yourself an electronic doorscope. An LCD display panel, usually of around 2.5in. is affixed to the inside of your door. This gives you a good angle of vision, you not only see the view straight outside your door but the peripheral too.

It is never wise to open your door unless you know who is calling. A wide angle door viewer lets you see just who it is waiting outside. Don't recognize the caller? Don't know their intentions? Then - Don't open the door.

Residential Security Doors

There is no way to make a residence one hundred percent secure, but you can add a major deterrent to would be thieves with a Residential Security Door. External doors are the easiest for a thief to gain entry into your house. Most often they can simply kick in a traditional door, even a heavy wooden one with a deadbolt. It is seldom the door itself that fails, but rather the casing around the door the hinges and locks are secured to. If you are concerned about the safety of your home and your loved ones, you owe it to yourself to consider upgrading your doors.

A residential security door eliminates the easiest entry point on your home, meaning that thieves will have to work hard just to get in. Robbery is a crime of opportunity and thieves will likely move on to easier targets when confronted with such an obstacle. In fact, since professional thieves are apt to case a job beforehand, just the site of the heavy duty doors may be enough to keep them from even trying. A smart crook would have to expect a house with excellent external security to also have a top quality alarm and probably a safe. This make the job look like more and more work, hence, less and less appealing.

A professional bad guy may be able to tell that your home is protected by security doors, but that does not mean that your neighbors will know. Most residential security doors are made from steel, but they are built in such a way that they can be trimmed with wood accents and painted. Doors can even be found that are coated with a simulated wood finish that once painted cannot be distinguished from the real thing. Even better, a steel door wont sag on its hinges, or warp or rot like a wooden one. They come in a variety of styles to match any type of home, from modern to Victorian and most cannot be distinguished from their standard counterparts.

Residential Security Doors offer the best protection when they are used for all of your exterior doors. It is not worth just protecting the front when a prowler can easily walk around to the back door. In fact, many break-ins happen at back doors since they tend to be out of view from neighbors, giving thieves plenty of privacy to kick away. The major improvement of a security door is the heavily constructed casing that surrounds it. The door itself is strong, but when it is locked to the casing it becomes a solid part of the house. A thief would be better off trying to kick through a wall then getting through the door.

It is also an excellent idea to install one residential security door inside your house to create a safe room for your family in case you are threatened. A large walk in closet makes a good choice and the door will blend right into the decor and you will never notice it, unless one day you need its protection. Then you will be glad you made the right choice for the safety of your family.
