Your first impulse could be to call in a professional when repairing your front door after a burglary. That said, under certain situations, based on the damage incurred, it may make better sense to consider replacing the whole front door.

A door may seem fairly straightforward and easy to repair but the lock is not as it can be broken by a number of failures or malfunctions. Nevertheless, some of the most common repair problems are not straightforward and can be high priced. For instance, there can be problems with the door’s opening and closing mechanism, the drive train on the front door motor, or the motor itself. In any of these cases, a complete replacement can be the wisest decision. When doing so, one improvement you can make is to upgrade an overhead front door with a roll-up front door. You may opt to change the whole style completely and go for something more modern and stable while still coordinating the exterior of the home. This is just an option, but it will definitely prevent a burglary happening again.
