• Keep all doors locked at night and every time you leave your home.
• Use doors that feature wide-angle peepholes at heights everyone can use.
• If you have glass panels near or in doors, make sure glass is reinforced so they cannot be shattered.
• Make sure the door leading from the attached garage to the house is solid wood or metal-clad and protected with a quality keyed door lock and deadbolt.

• Make sure sliding glass doors have strong, working key locks.
