We've found that most entry doors perform well overall. But the materials they're made of—fiberglass, steel, and wood—each have strengths and weaknesses. And while a low-priced steel door can be the equal of a wood or fiberglass door costing five times as much, it's not the best choice for wear and tear.
Security. Steel entry doors provide more protection than fiberglass because they are made of a thicker, more protective material. It is harder to break into because of the strong hold that they provide in the frame of the house. On the other hand, fiberglass is easier to manipulate, making it a less secure option.
The best ways to secure a door from the inside is to use a door brace. They require no special door modification, are easy to install and easy to remove. They stop the door from being forced opened, and they also prevent the door from being opened if your locks have been unlocked (from a key, picking or lock bumping).
A deadbolt lock is a basic element of home security, though not all are created equal. ... “Because the locks or deadbolts are not functioning properly or they are inadequate, the intruder is able to kick the door in,” he says.
