Hi,

Our house was broken in to last night via Upvc front door. The door was levered with a screw driver just below lock, very little damage to door or frame or lock.

The door has 5 latchs when door is closed so I'm not too sure how the door was so easy to open, although the gardi said they see a hugh amount of breakin's via this type of UPVC door and they recommend replacing with solid wood door & frame.

Any ideas the best way to secure Upvc door so its not SO EASY to break in and any ideas on best type of replacement secure door?? Is it possible to add 2nd lock or reinforce Upvc lock/door already in place.
 
Yes I have been hearing about a lot of breakins via upvc doors. Would like to hear about any ways of securing them more as well, beside a costly replacement with wooden doors and frames.
