Door Security Rating Calculator
Answer ten quick questions about your main door — leaf, frame, lock, deadbolt, hinges and more. Get a security score out of 100, a band and the top three upgrades that move the needle. Indicative India 2026 self-assessment, not a certified rating.
Your main door
A solid leaf resists kicks and prying; hollow flush doors fail fast.
Most break-ins split a weak frame, not the leaf. Anchoring is everything.
Multipoint and mortise locks beat surface rim/aldrop latches.
A throw ≥20 mm into a fixed strike is the single biggest pry deterrent.
Outward-opening doors with exposed pins can be lifted off; protect them.
A reinforced strike with long screws into the stud stops the boot.
Seeing who is there before opening prevents push-in entries.
An outer steel grille door lets you ventilate and adds a second barrier.
Auto-lock, tamper alarms and remote alerts close the human-error gap.
A night latch, tower bolt or chain blocks a forced push when you are home.
Each answer is weighted by how much it matters to real-world forced entry. The score is an indicative self-assessment, not a tested or insurance-grade certification. Anchoring the frame and a long-throw deadbolt usually matter more than a fancier lock.
