to make my home secure with out it looking like a fort is impossible .
we all get away with this because on the whole somebody trying to get in would be seen or heard but after shtf raiders would not worry about noise or being seen .
so what could you recommend to boost a homes security with out it looking like a fort .
i rent so nothing to mad please

A wrought iron ornate grill fitted over the doors painted the same colour as the doors to give it the french chateau look, Laminating flim over the glass and have french shutters fitted to the outside that can be closed and ecured if TSHTF. Also some pre cut steel cross bars that can be dropped into place from door frame to door frame should the SHTF to stop anyone using a sledge hammer to bash their way in.
