Astragals and Knob Protectors
Looking to enhance your home or business security? Consider installing a high-quality deadbolt for superior protection and peace of mind.
What is an Astragal?
An astragal is a specialized molding attached to the meeting edges of a pair of doors to shield the gap where they come together, enhancing both security and weather resistance. Beyond its practical function, the term "astragal" might tickle your funny bone with its unusual sound. It’s one of those words that sounds a bit out of place, perhaps more akin to a character from a whimsical children's book than a piece of hardware. Despite its quirky name, an astragal plays a crucial role in ensuring that doors function seamlessly and securely, blocking drafts and bolstering your properties defense.
How does an Astragal work?
An astragal plays a crucial role in enhancing the security of double doors by reinforcing the central meeting point where the two doors come together. This added component serves as a robust barrier, preventing intruders from prying the doors apart. The astragal covers the gap between the doors, making it significantly harder for tools to be inserted and used to force the doors open. By adding this layer of protection, the astragal effectively strengthens the door's resistance to break-ins. Further fortifying the entryway against unauthorized access and providing a higher level of security for residential or commercial properties is why you should have an astragal.
Knob and Lever Protectors
Knob protectors are practical accessories designed to safeguard door knobs from damage and wear while also enhancing safety, particularly in homes with young children. These protective covers fit snugly over the door knob, shielding it from scratches, dents, and other impacts that can occur in high-traffic areas. Additionally, knob protectors can deter tampering or unauthorized access by making the knob difficult to grip and turn, which is especially useful in preventing young children from opening doors to potentially hazardous areas. Available in various materials and designs, knob protectors not only preserve the longevity and appearance of your door hardware but also contribute an extra layer of safety in your living or working environment.
