Door hinges are more integral to home security then most homeowners realize. In fact, door hinges, designed specifically for home security, collaborate with exterior doors to provide better security for your family. If your doors hinges are exposed on the outside of the door more secure hinges are a wise security investment as an intruder could tap the hinge pins out, lift the door off its hinges and enter your home. Currently there are a few secure door hinge options available. For example, non-removable pins hold your door in place with a setscrew making them troublesome to remove; and safety studs hold your door in place even if the hinge pins are removed and the door is taken off its hinges. Heavy-duty hinges cost from $10 to $20 online.
