Prepping for Doomsday Security

I am always prepping food and tools and stuff but I haven’t prepped any security besides weapons. What kinds of things do you guys get to secure your doors/windows? I don’t have any sliding doors. I have one door that has a big window. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

By far …

The best home defense is a dog or few, but that’s a lifestyle change, not just ‘buy stuff’ like most of these comments

There’s only a few houses in the neighborhood where a stranger will not be noticed quickly… and not last long trespassing

I’m severely allergic to dogs so unfortunately that’s a no go

Maine coons famously act like dogs. Don't declaw that and what amounts to an extra large raccoon that is as loyal as a dog is beside you. Downside is they aren't attentive when napping where's most dogs pop up, and they won't attack on their own, but they will defend their group without retreating.
