Break-ins don't wait for a weak spot. Don't give them one.
A solid steel-clad doorset is a great start, but the hardware behind it is what finishes the job.
That's where our anti-burglary hardware range comes in. They're small additions to any order, but it's the kind of upgrade that pays for itself in peace of mind. A few extra dollars on hardware is nothing compared to the cost of a break-in, and it's an easy way to add real value to the doors you're already supplying.
Talk to your Larnec rep about adding anti-burglary hardware to your next order, or ask what else we can provide to help you protect your customers.
The Deadbolt.
A standard latch is designed to stop a door swinging open. It's not designed to stop someone forcing it open.
A deadbolt changes that. Once thrown, the bolt extends deep into the frame or strike plate, independent of the latch mechanism. That means:
✅No shimming. Standard latches can be slipped with a card or thin tool. A deadbolt's solid throw removes that option entirely.
✅No kick-in. Force applied to the door has to overcome the bolt embedded in the frame, not just a spring-loaded latch. That's a much harder ask.
✅A dedicated strike point. Paired with a reinforced strike plate, the deadbolt spreads impact force across the frame instead of concentrating it on the latch edge, which is usually the first thing to fail.
It's a simple mechanism, but it's doing a different job to the latch entirely. Where the latch keeps the door shut, the deadbolt keeps it secured.
