Door security: Burglary protection for doors from Winkhaus

Security for doors

Solutions for burglary-resistant security door locking systems from Winkhaus

Weak points in the house

The most vulnerable places in your house are ground-floor doors and windows, of course. But there are targeted burglary-resistant measures you can take to protect them effectively. This is because burglars always work under great time pressure and are afraid of being discovered. They will give up quickly if it takes too long because the windows and doors are secured.

Basic equipment

Not recommended for main entrance doors. Locking systems with eccentric cams are intended for hard-to-reach balcony doors on upper floors or connecting doors. Combining them with a mushroom-head closure significantly improves door security.*

Burglar resistance to RC1 N

The equipment as per resistance class RC1N is recommended for side entrance, vestibule and garage doors where direct access is not possible. The Winkhaus 3-point locking system with steel keeps on the frames has stood the test of time particularly well; it makes it very difficult to break open the door using physical force. Indispensable: a tested security handle set with anti-drilling protection. Laminated safety glazing is recommended.
