Armored doors and windows
Sometimes new constructions have built-in armored doors. If this is not the case for your home, consider installing these types of doors. These have a reinforcement of iron or steel and makes it practically impossible to open them. In the market you can find a wide variety of doors and models, depending on the decoration and the needs of your home.

On the other hand, the armored windows have built-in safety locks that prevent them from being open from the outside.
Grids and other protection systems
