Reinforced Door Hinges
Many people realize that adding additional security features and reinforcing their homes is a good way to ensure the safety of their families and make sure that their property is protected from intruders. Common safety features include alarm systems, flood-lights, dead-bolt locks, reinforced doors, and reinforced hinges.
By installing additional safety features on your home, property owners may have peace of mind as well as find benefits like lowered homeowner's insurance costs.

Benefits of Reinforced Hinges
By reinforcing door hinges, homeowners often find:
- It is more difficult for intruders to kick in exterior doors
- One-way screws make it hard to remove the hinges on doors with simple screwdrivers
- Placing hinge pins on the inside of doors may help ensure that intruders cannot damage them from outside of the home
- Installing wrap-around strike plates can help strengthen the part of the frame where the plates are placed and may help further strengthen the door and its hinges.
As with many home-security features, common security additions are often inexpensive and fairly easy to install. Homeowners may find that the additional costs and time spent installing the security features are worth it when they consider the additional safety they are providing their family.
