There have been a few break-ins in the apartment block I'm in. It's city centre, but the first in the block that I've heard of in the 3 years I've been here. But, anyway I'm thinking of beefing up security. The only access point to my apartment is the front door, and this is already a solid core door and I have two good locks on it. However, the girlfriend is not convinced! I'm thinking if burglars want to break down a door, then no amount of locks is gonna stop that, but maybe I'm wrong?
I saw some amazing locks on apartments in Spain, and apparently they're standard over there. Basically about 8 strong steel circular locks situated all along the full length of the side of the door, which lock into place with a few turns of the key. Are these available? Are they overkill? What's the alternative? I guess I'm willing to pay over the odds for good, even over the top, security, particularly when weighted against the emotional and real cost of a break-in. Any advice welcome.
