If you want to protect your business from burglars, you should pay attention to the back door area. This is often a dark and secluded spot that gives criminals a chance to break in without being noticed. That’s why many burglars choose the back door as their entry point.
To prevent this, you should install bright and powerful security lights around the back door area. These lights should be protected by vandal-proof casings to prevent them from being damaged or disabled by rocks or other objects.
You should also make sure that your back door is sturdy and well-maintained, with strong hinges and a proper fit in the frame.
If your back door has a latch that can be easily seen and reached, you should add a heavy-duty astragal to cover the gap between the door and the frame. This way, you can prevent a burglar from prying open the latch with a tool. An astragal is a strip of steel that runs along the edge of the door and covers the latch area.
Another option for protecting an exposed latch is a Latch Guard. Latch guards are specially designed steel units that shield the latch area of the door. They make it harder for a burglar to pry open the door at the optimal leverage point.
