Top-tier hardware for entrance doors

Entrance door hardware is the most important hardware when it comes to quality and security for doors. In general, if there is one type of door where you must install quality hardware, it is the entrance door. Entrance doors are the main access point to your home. Everyone enters through there, and it could be said that it is also the most vulnerable point of any house.

This is why these doors are usually armored or reinforced, with special security features to protect against intruders. We are going to look at what specific hardware these doors use based on what we consider recommended (there is always room for a thousand more varieties).

Specific characteristics of entrance door hardware

1. From the outside, they can (usually) only be opened with a key, and you will have a knob or pull handle as support to push it once opened.

2. The lock these doors have is a 3 or 5-point lock to maximize security.

3. On the inside, there will be a handle on a backplate with a keyhole made in the middle of the plate. All our handle backplates offer the option for us to drill a keyhole at the distance you specify.

4. The security cylinder always comes with a protective escutcheon. We consider both pieces of hardware to be of vital importance, requiring high quality and security, always aiming for the highest possible standard. Most home break-ins are carried out by compromising the security cylinder.

5. This option is not mandatory, but we strongly recommend installing a security deadbolt as a supplement to your door's security. This is an extra lock that you can install on any door, which will guarantee a powerful increase in security.

6. A security peephole. Every entrance door has this product, and it is a basic security element. It used to be a simple product consisting of a lens through which you could look to see what was on the other side of the door. Nowadays, thanks to technology, a camera is placed on the outside of the door and a screen on the inside so that you can perfectly distinguish who is on the other side of the door.

7. Finally, there are the security hinges. There are single-point and multi-point security hinges. Typically, on the most secure doors, the hinges come factory-installed. In any case, no matter what, keep in mind that exterior door security hinges must be anti-lever. That is, they should have a type of bolt that fits from one leaf of the hinge to the other to make it impossible to lift and dislodge the door from the outside.
