• While investing in essential security systems for
  your business is of course a fantastic and
  sensible idea, these measures are all but useless
  if the commercial doors themselves arent secure.
  With smarter criminals prepared to do even more
  to gain illegal access to homes and businesses,
  you need secure commercial doors that will work
  in tandem with your security systems.
• Below is some guidance for securing your
  commercial doors
• Begin by choosing the best doors for your type of
  business
• With doors coming in the style of overhead,
  fire-rated, roll-up, scissor gates and many more,
  its important that you consult with a commercial
  door specialist (which in some cases, is also
  your local, licensed locksmith), to get the
  strongest and most suitable doors for your
  business.

• Youll also need to consider what you want your
  door to be made from, steel, wood or perhaps
  fiberglass?
• A solid-core door is imperative, not hollow-core,
  as the latter is simply not secure enough for
  external use.
• Select a lock with the highest security grade
• Security locks are categorized based on the
  American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and
  can be Grade 1, Grade 2, or Grade 3.

• Grade 1 rated security locks these give the
  best level of protection and are strongly
  recommended for businesses with high-traffic that
  require optimal security.
• Grade 2 rated security locks not as effective
  as Grade 1 rated locks, these offer an average
  level of protection and are sometimes chosen by
  smaller businesses and startups.
• Grade 3 rated security locks for rooms that
  require little security, these locks may be
  suitable, but they should never be used for
  external commercial doors the level of
  protection simply isnt high enough.

• Get your commercial door hardware professionally
  installed
• Its always tempting to try and do things
  yourself when it comes to your business, after
  all, you can save money that way, however, as is
  often the case if something isnt professionally
  installed, mistakes made when doing so can lead
  to costly fixes, especially if the problem isnt
  spotted immediately.
• Begin by checking the frame of your commercial
  doors, and if you have any concerns over their
  strength, consult with a professional locksmith,
  who will have a lot of experience of working with
  such doors. If necessary, your local locksmith
  may recommend that you reinforce the doorframe
  using materials such as jam pins and strike
  plates.

• You could also reinforce the door itself, by
  having a door wrap professionally installed to
  prevent it from splitting.
• How to get the most secure commercial doors?
• While the right choice of door is certainly a
  start, you must invest in security locks and
  upgrade your hardware if you want to make your
  commercial doors as secure as they can possible
  be protecting your business, employees and
