Lab Insurrance & Theft Prevention

nctnico:
Regarding thick doors: better don't use those. A thin door can be kicked in more easely by firefighters trying to resque you from your burning home.

Towger:
No point in having a steel reinforced door unless the walls are made of reinforced concrete and the door frame properly  fixed into it.

SeanB:
This is  South Africa, you do your own fire pool.

ordinary bricks do the same with long bars drilled into them to secure the door. but its mostly standard in most parts of the world but in america wood and drywall has its place mostly which wont stand a chance support 200-400kg of steel from falling out from its place


as for the fireman cant get in, well be it. install a fire supression system but the thief wont get in too, or coat everything with fireproof paint etc. but i doubt atleast in my case the bricks which is the house is built from would burn or the concrete above and below. for electrical fires, i keep nothing crappy made thing switched on, or even plugged in if the mechanical switch only have 1 set of contacts.

Towger:
I have see the result of a break in where there was a concrete brick wall and the security door was left securely locked, in its frame, on the ground.
