| What is the most vulnerable point of access to breaking into a home? |
| The most vulnerable point of access is your sliding glass doors. Although most doors come with a standard factory lock, the lock that it comes with only stops an intruder from pushing the door from side to side. It does not prevent an intruder from lifting the glass door out of the frame. It is very important that all sliding glass doors are secured with special locks that only a locksmith can install. |
