How To Board Up A Door

Generally speaking, materials such as timber or metal will be required in order to properly board up the property and secure it from intruders, with different solutions priced accordingly. Compression security screens due to their design can be fitted externally on windows above the ground floor, quickly and cost effectively, thereby creating a strong barrier protecting the entire property. Often they are secured directly to the window frame, essentially damaging the window, or direct to the brick work using secure fixings.
If you need to create a boarding solution that allows for controlled access, heavy-duty hinges are recommended. They are used in conjunction with nuts and washers to create a robust fixing, ideal for plywood. Carriage bolts are especially useful for through-bolt compression fastening, where the bolt penetrates the board and a brace on the opposite side.
