In the past, French doors have had a bad reputation for being insecure. Don’t let this put you off choosing these beautiful garden doors. French doors can add a sense of elegance to the back of your home and will fill it with light. French doors are secure if you follow this advice. They are an attractive way of moving between your home and garden.

Don’t risk it

It might sound obvious but making sure you lock your doors is the most important way of keeping your home secure. Back and patio doors are the most likely to be left unlocked. This is especially true during the summer. You’re constantly moving between your home and garden and leaving doors open to let a breeze in. Many burglaries occur when doors haven’t been locked so make a habit of locking them every time you leave the room.
