door security
I think what I'm looking for is an "anti jemmy strip" i.e. something to
prevent an outwards opening door from being attacked with a crowbar. I'm thinking a 2" flat strip bolted to the opening door, and covering the joint, would do, but I was hoping to find a company who specialises in security fittings. Google's not revealing too much so far. Thanks for any advice |

Take a look at these:

I did look at those but they only seem to supply the trade. I was hoping there might be something I could pick up in the sheds |

I think these kids carry bolt cutters down their trousers- there's certainly enough room |

I think these kids carry bolt cutters down their trousers- there's certainly enough room Find a proper locksmith and discuss it. It is their job to know the ways to defeat thieves and they can often suggest something you haven't thought of. Ideally, it should be something that doesn't shout to the world that this door is protecting something valuable. Colin Bignell |
