Q: What type of patio door is most secure?

• <div><p>Hinged French patio doors are a great choice for security. Their solid frame and ability to swing open provide a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/patio-doors-french-door-vs-sliding-door.htm">more secure structure than sliding doors</a>, which rely on tracks that can wear down over time. French doors often come with multi-point locking systems and deadbolts, securing the door at multiple points and making them harder to break into. Of course, the door&rsquo;s security also depends on factors like material quality, locking mechanisms, and proper installation&mdash;all of which ensure your door does its job of keeping your home safe.</p></div>

Q: How does professional installation enhance door security?

• <div><p>Proper installation ensures solid hinges and locks, maintaining home security.</p></div>

Q: How do you burglar-proof a doggie door?

• <div><p>Adding a doggie door can allow a burglar access to knobs and locks on your door. If your pet door doesn&rsquo;t come with an alarm, you can add a weight sensor alarm that will trip if anything heavier than your pet enters through it. Adding a motion sensor light to the room your pet door is in can also help deter burglars. </p></div>

Q: Should cabinet doors be solid wood?

• <div><p>Solid wood is a durable and attractive option for cabinet doors that holds up well against a small amount of moisture. However, solid wood doors will expand and contract, meaning upkeep will be necessary if painted. Particleboard with veneer cabinet doors are cost-effective and can be attractive. MDF cabinet doors offer excellent and predictable workability features. However, both of those options are vulnerable to damage if water finds its way through the veneer or paint finish. </p></div>

Q: How much does a security door cost?

• <div><p>A security door costs an average of $1,400, but costs can range from $600 for a simple screen or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-things-know-about-steel-door.htm">steel door</a> to more than $4,600 for a wrought-iron security door.
