Keypad vs key tag locks
We're moving into an office inside a building that's currently being refurbished. We've been given a choice of a keypad or key tag lock. But I've no idea which is better for staff and security. The front of the building is being manned in the daytime and alarmed at night. Any recommendations?
Best type(s) of door for installing a pet flap for security reasons?
Would pet flaps be more secure in of themselves based on the type of doing they are built into? As in, I want to minimize the risk that someone could say cut through a pet flap then use that as a base to pry open the rest of the door. So on the basis of that sort of intruder danger, what sort of doors would be best for having a pet flap installed? Of course, I guess it's a balance since particularly strong doors will be too difficult to cut into to start with for constructing a pet flap? Any help with finding the right balance for this would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
