Can Impact Doors Really Deter Break-Ins? What South Florida Homeowners Should Know

When most people think of impact doors, they picture hurricanes, flying debris, and emergency weather alerts. That makes sense — after all, impact doors are engineered to stand up to South Florida’s wildest storms.

But here’s what’s flying under the radar: these same doors also offer serious protection against home intrusions.

Let’s break it down..

1. Most Break-Ins Happen Through Doors (Not Windows)

Studies show that over 70% of break-ins happen through a door — usually the front or back entry. And let’s be honest: most builders aren’t putting top-tier doors on homes unless you pay extra for them.

Standard doors are often hollow, lightweight, and surprisingly easy to force open. Impact doors? Not so much.

2. What Makes an Impact Door So Much Stronger?

Impact doors are built with:

• Heavy-duty frames and hinges
• Thick laminated glass panels
• Multi-point locking systems
• Reinforced cores and weather-tight seals

Translation: They’re a nightmare for burglars and a dream for homeowners who value peace of mind.

3. They Look as Good as They Perform

Gone are the days of clunky, industrial-looking doors. Today’s impact doors come in a wide range of sleek designs — modern, classic, coastal, or contemporary — all with the strength you want behind the style.

Great curb appeal and top-tier protection? Yes, please.

4. Bonus: Lower Insurance + Higher Property Value

Many insurance providers offer discounts for homes with certified impact doors and windows. Plus, this kind of upgrade can raise your home’s value and make it stand out in a competitive real estate market.

Final Takeaway

Storm protection? Check.
Break-in resistance? Absolutely.

Better energy efficiency, noise reduction, and curb appeal? You got it.

So what are you waiting for? If you’re a home or business owner in Broward County or nearby areas and haven’t made the switch yet — you’re missing out on more than just storm protection.
