Door locks to keep intruders away
1. Campbell Security Screen
Campbell’s highly secure steel mesh can effectively sustain crowbar and knife attacks on doors and windows. Built from tight-weave stainless steel, it can stay intact and stall burglars long enough until the cops arrive. Besides human attackers, it can also keep aggressive animals from getting inside. Moreover, Campbell doors also have a “jimmy-proof” three-point locking system that can’t be forced open but only unlocked from the inside in under a second.
2. HAVEN Lock
The HAVEN Lock is a high-strength door lock that can stop intruders from slamming open the door. According to its website, it is 10 times as strong as a deadbolt and takes under 15 minutes to install. It is placed at the foot of the door and can be activated manually using the foot (HAVEN Mech) or remotely via Bluetooth (HAVEN Connect).
3. Barracuda Intruder Defense System
Bilco’s Barracuda features an entire range of different locks for keeping doors shut in the event of a threat. It has different security options for inward-swinging doors, outward-swinging doors, and doors with a door closer system. These variants can resist high amounts of force, thanks to the heavy-duty steel material. Their installation is rather straightforward and takes less time.
4. DoorJammer
DoorJammer is a super easy-to-install yet highly effective door lock. It nullifies external force by channeling it downwards and jamming the door. The protective tool is available in two variants, DoorJammer Portable and DoorJammer Lockdown. While the Portable version is lightweight and suitable for use during travels, the Lockdown version is extra sturdy and suitable for use at home. Both models take just seconds for installation and removal.
