Repair of entrance doors – a worthy alternative in the ever-expensive Kiev

Strangely somehow flowing events in Kiev: the gasoline has fallen sharply, then again rose in price, then products from either of them for some reason jumped in price, the communal has grown again ... And the earnings are clearly not keeping up with them. And then a wave of illegal events came up - then the neighbor's apartment was opened, then the glass was broken in the car, then something else bad happened ...

It seems that the world is going crazy and someone is pushing it to the abyss. But in this situation, we still need not only to hold out, but also to live, make plans, raise children. And, of course, you always want to manage to spend money on all these events and plans so that as little as possible of this money goes.

For all occasions, the recipe, of course, does not exist, but something to advise!

For example, if you want to protect your home even if not in the center of Kiev from unwanted guests, then you do not need to put a new front door or look for the most advanced security solutions – they simply will not be affordable!



Improving existing solutions is easy! For example, installing an additional lock in the existing front door in the Kiev Khrushchevka is not expensive (if you look at the cost of work), but it will increase the penetration time many times! Especially if you put a lock with a guarantee against breaking (yes, there are not many of them, but they are) – then detractors will only ... burn out the key part of the door! But here you can go ahead by installing electromechanical deviators or rigs – even if you cut the lock, they will not open! And the smell of burning is not that the neighbors will run away, and not one alarm can work. This is an ideal way to protect housing.

But there is another weakness of your apartment – the balcony. The fact is that balconies are usually located one under one, the same size. And this sameness plays a strange role – on the balconies you can climb almost any floor with minimal training. And, as a rule, people often leave open the windows of the balconies and even the doors from the balcony to the room – right at the bull’s eye! Perfect target.

You can also protect yourself from such penetration. And in several ways.

The first way is to always close the windows. But it's terribly uncomfortable, especially in summer, especially at night. After all, even with air conditioning, you always want fresh air, so often at night people leave both air conditioning and an open window.

The second option is to put the bars on the windows. Good, strong, reliable, made of iron. It's got a good mount. Then just get to the balcony will be more difficult – the bars on the windows simply will not allow you to do this. In addition, most balconies are equipped with euro windows that open inwards - there will be no problems with opening.

The third option is to expand the balcony! The fact is that if your balcony is at least 20-30 centimeters wider than the balcony of the neighbors below, then it will violate the basic rule by which “victims” are chosen – sameness. Climbing will be much more dangerous and few people will dare it!

And this will give you an additional bonus - a beautifully decorated interior space of such a balcony can easily play the role of a greenhouse or a working office. Almost an extra room, only a small size.

As you can see, there are options. And how many more can you come up with your own little secrets - keyless lock, video surveillance, deception, access control systems, and even just an alarm bell! Only in the latter case, be sure to leave the switch off button at someone from the neighbors, because if the alarm works, and you, for example, at the dacha near Kiev, then the neighbors will have every right to call the police to turn it off. This is a different and not entirely pleasant story.
