And what is the most secure?

[zeke79]

Jaakko is right. I do not think I could ever pick my front door even if my life depended on doing it. The abloy protec is one of those locks that is considered to be pretty much unpickable. I wont say it cannot be done because there could be someone out there who has done it, you never know.

Thanks for the replys

I have lots of ideas to hardening my security thanks to you, when I am at home I put a bar so nobody can enter even with lock picking or by kicking the door, I don´t know how this bar is named in english, but I think it has to be more difficult to enter that way

the problem is when I go out, it´s not I have something valious in my home, but I don´t like to find my house upside down, when returning for my travels

What country you are in will make a big difference as regards what to ask for.

I'd suggest a BS 5 lever deadlock at 1/3rd up the door. Get something good like the ERA Fortress or a Chubb 114E. At 2/3rds up, get a BS nightlatch. Check they are both BS :2004, as that extra 6mm on the bolts makes a big difference.

Or you could go for something cheaper, like a Kibb and a Zone anti-jemmy (if you can find them). With those, you'd have probably the most secure door in the street!

If the hinges are outwards, get hinges that stop the pins being removed, or hinge bolts. Make sure there are three hinges, too. Get a hinge guard and a London or Birmingham bar (or all three!) to massively increase the strength of the door. Fitted right, they aren't even visible to the outside world.

Consider your windows, too. Far easier to get in through those than to get through that door - even if that door were a cardboard core one! Laminated film is good, and if you get the frameguard system, then it is far harder to kick the whole glass panel through. If there is a fire escape or somewhere for someone to stand to kick the window in, get bars or a grill.

Call a few local locksmiths, and ask if they would do a security check for you. Many offer them for free, on the understanding that you get the work done by them if you want it sorted out.
