The Security Features That Matter Most In A Front Door A front door earns its security rating from the whole assembly, not from the material alone, because the slab, frame, hinges, and strike plate all have to work together. In Baltimore City, a front door also has to fit older construction, which means the best choice is the one that combines strength with a clean, accurate installation. A door can be visually impressive and still be easy to defeat if the latch ar
