How to Improve Home Security with the Right Entry Door
When it comes to protecting your home, few components are as critical as the entry door. As the primary access point, it plays a vital role in your property’s security, energy efficiency, and curb appeal. At M&T Glass, we specialize in residential entry doors in Ottawa, offering high-quality, professionally installed solutions that combine advanced security features with lasting design.
The Importance of a Secure Entry Door
A secure home begins at the front door. Research shows that the majority of break-ins occur through easily accessible entryways—typically, the front or back door. Weak materials, poor installation, or outdated locks create vulnerabilities that intruders can exploit.
Upgrading to a reinforced, high-quality entry door is an effective, long-term strategy to reduce risk and improve the overall safety of your home.
High-Performance Materials for Maximum Protection
M&T Glass offers entry door systems built to withstand both physical force and harsh Canadian weather. Our product range includes:
- Steel and fiberglass doors, recognized for their durability and resistance to forced entry
- Tempered and laminated safety glass for clients who prefer glass panels without compromising on safety
- Custom glass inserts that provide natural light while maintaining structural integrity
For those concerned about visibility or breakage, we install impact-resistant glass solutions that meet the highest standards in both design and safety.
Superior Hardware and Security Features
Even the most secure door requires the right hardware. M&T Glass equips entry systems with:
- High-security deadbolts and multipoint locking mechanisms
- Reinforced strike plates and frames to resist kick-ins
- Smart lock compatibility for modern, tech-enabled homes
Our technicians ensure that every component—from hinges to locking systems—is professionally installed and tested for optimal function.
