I have been thinking thru my home security measures to see where I can stiffen my defenses against possible burglary. I have a two-story townhouse in which I utilize a downstairs bedroom with a walk-in closet as my gun/hobby room. In the walk in closet I have a Remington RSC which holds all the guns I do not have on me during the day.
I wish to fortify the window with either inside bars or a security window...I am really not sure what is out there for this task. The interior door is 30" and I want to replace it with either a steel door or a steel clad, solid wood core door. Since my house is of typical light sheetrock construction, I know that I must reinforce the material the frame must be attatched to. However, I am unsure how to go about this. Would a steel frame be sufficent, or could I have concrete poured..I simply do not know what my options are.
Now before someone says it, there is no other possible way into this room. So someone could not just kick thru an adjacent wall to gain entry. The only weak points are the window and door.
Any ideas on how I can do this?
