Iâ??m not worried about anyone getting in while Iâ??m home. Weâ??ve got two Segal deadbolt locks loaded with Medico cylinders, one with a standard cylinder protector and one with a heavy-duty steel Medico cylinder guard. One lock also has an indoor cylinder that requires a key to open from inside, to prevent someone from breaking a hole through the peephole and opening the door, or getting past the window gate and using the door to exit. Window locks and Window gates on fire escape window. Some of this is not legal for apartments here.

If they want to get in bad enough, especially while you're not home, they can. About all you can do in that case is get alarms or a dog.

My philosophy has always been to make it difficult enough that the burglars will pick a softer target.
