New Orleans Security Doors - Thwart Break-ins with a Hurricane-Resistant Product

Your home is full of things you value: your grandparents’ heirlooms, important banking paperwork, keys to your cars, your family, and pets among other items. There are few things more devastating than a break-in that results in losing some of these precious things.

While many home doors have security shortcomings such as key duplicates, structural weaknesses, and other flaws, a security door provides unparalleled peace of mind.

Security door keys cannot be duplicated, except by the security door manufacturer. Additional harder-to-break locks can be installed to prevent break-ins, and glass views can be reinforced to resist shattering.

Commercial & Residential Security doors offered by Big Easy Iron Works are beautifully crafted to accent your residence or office, all while providing the safety you need whether at home or at work.

With over 30 years of experience servicing the NOLA area, we can advise you to the best options available for your new entrance.

What is a security doors?

A security door is an additional door providing a supplemental level of security, and is generally installed outside of your main front door. These doors are commonly customized or constructed with a decorative, strengthened iron or steel frame and tempered or security glass (so you can see who is outside your house but they can’t break in).

Security doors have a variety of unique features to resist break-ins that traditional doors don’t have, including stronger mounting and more secure locks.

Why install a security door?

Did you know that one out of three burglaries begins at your front door? That’s right – while many people assume that windows are the preferred point-of-entry for a burglar, the front door is actually a vulnerable point in your home.

Front doors aren’t often constructed to resist break-ins well; in fact, kicking down a front door is one of the easiest and most common ways for a burglar to enter your home.

A residential break-in occurs every 13 seconds – it’s important to protect your family and your belongings with a greater method of protection than just your front door.

Our metal doors in New Orleans are equipped with features made specifically to resist burglary, including:

• Deeper mounting into the wall – deeper than 4 inches, preferably at least 6 inches, to prevent the door from being ripped off its hinges
• Heavy-duty hinges rated for 800 pounds or more
• High-quality metals for your door that won’t bend or break with excessive force
• Five-pin locks that won’t break if a burglar attempts to wrench the door open
• Tempered or security glass that won’t shatter if hit with a baseball bat or crowbar

Your safety is important to us. Don’t trust you and your family’s well-being to an ordinary door. Call us and ask about our wrought iron doors for homes.
