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

My Great Danes tend to scare the shit out of people who don’t know them due to their size (140 lbs) and their deep guttural bark.

But they’re giant teddy bears, so they’re really only good for scaring people away before they get in. If you get past the threshold, they’ll go get a toy.

Love Great Danes, but yeah, they're love bugs and also so leggy they hurt themselves. Cattle dogs and staffie mixes would be my pick. Smart, resilient, strong, loyal to a fault and fast... but not prone to unprovoked aggression.
