Burglars know a soft target when they see one!

BEWARE! Don’t underestimate just how vulnerable your front door may be. Traditional wood, aluminum, or screen doors might appear solid, but burglars know that they’re soft targets. Truth is, with a few simple tools — a crowbar, a hammer, a knife or even a well-placed kick — these doors give way, giving intruders easy and quick access to your home.

Here’s a reality check: 34% of burglars enter through the front door. They know most homes use traditional doors that can’t stand up to forced entry. Don’t let the safety of your family and possessions be at the mercy of flimsy materials. Burglars simply look for the path of least resistance, and most standard doors are like an open invitation to them.

As legendary home improvement expert Bob Vila once said, “Wood is good, steel is better.” And when it comes to protecting your home, his advice should be taken seriously.

Why Iron Security Doors Are Your Best Line of Defense

Iron security doors don’t just deter burglars—they stop them in their tracks. Imagine a burglar checking out your home, armed with a crowbar or knife, ready to break in. With a wood or aluminum door, and with most screen doors, it takes only seconds to pry them open. But when they come face-to-face with a solid Iron Security Screen Door or Iron Entry Door, their plan quickly unravels. The right Iron Door is engineered to withstand the very worst: from brute force kicks to heavy-duty tools like drills and saws. Watch this video to see how one of our customers with the right Iron Door avoided what could have been a devastating home invasion.

Is Your Door An Easy Target?

Wood Doors

While wood may look sturdy, they are frighteningly easy to compromise. A few kicks at a weak spot can split the wood, and burglars know how to use tools like pry bars to make short work of even well-maintained doors. Once the door frame begins to crack, it’s a matter of seconds before they’re inside.

Aluminum Doors and most Screen Mesh Doors

Even worse than wood, aluminum and typical screen doors offer little to no resistance. A burglar can use their bare hands to bend or pry an aluminum door out of its frame. As for most mesh screen doors, they’re almost laughable to a determined intruder. It’s no challenge for someone to cut through the screen or simply rip it off the hinges.

Iron Security Doors: The Best Protection Against Intruders

Iron Security Doors from First Impression are built to be nearly impenetrable. These are the last doors any burglar wants to encounter. Equipped with tamper-proof locks, reinforced steel bars, non-removable hinges, and welded lock pick-guards, iron security doors are designed to send intruders running. A thief may try to break in, but with iron security doors, they’ll quickly realize they’re facing a losing battle.

Burglars don’t waste time—they want in and out as quickly as possible, often striking homes in less than 10 minutes. A wooden or aluminum door makes it easy for them to gain access, as they can be kicked in or pried open in a matter of seconds. Tools like crowbars and hammers are all they need. If they bring a drill or saw, most traditional doors don’t stand a chance. The nightmare scenario: you and your family are home when an intruder forces their way in.

1. Impossible to Kick In: Burglars love to use brute force, but an iron security door laughs at kicks, punches, or shoulder slams. While a wood or aluminum door would crumble under this kind of abuse, iron security doors stand rock solid, making it almost impossible to kick them down.
2. Resistant to Crowbars and Knives: Crowbars can quickly pry open a standard door, and knives can cut through screens or wooden panels. But iron security doors resist these attacks, creating a physical barrier that common break-in tools can’t penetrate. First Impression Ironworks’ doors even feature tamper-proof locks and lock pick-guards, adding layers of security that stop burglars cold.
3. Virtually Drill-Proof: A burglar with a power drill can compromise a wooden or aluminum door’s lock in minutes. But iron security doors are made to withstand attempts at drilling or sawing through the frame. Even with the best tools, it takes burglars far longer to break through, drawing attention and giving you the chance to alert authorities before any damage is done.

With the right Iron Door, you stop intruders from getting in, protect your family, and send a clear message to criminals – Not this house!
