In 80% of cases, the perpetrators first attack the door of the place to be burgled. So the door is the main element to be secured in the outer shell of the building.
Generally speaking, and whatever type of compartmentalisation is involved (burglary resistant door, fire resistant door, acoustic door, etc.) the openings into the building are the weak point.
Talking about ‘burglary resistant’ is not entirely correct.
It would be more accurate to refer to ‘burglary retardant’. In fact, the means implemented (tools of attack) to force access to the protected zone are always seen in relation to the period of time available to the assailant and his level of experience.
