School Holiday Home Security in Kenya: Doors That Work When the House Is Busy
August holidays mean more in-and-out traffic. Hatch doors, reliable latches, and a door children can close properly matter as much as a heavy lock.
School holidays change how a house is used: cousins visit, the gate stays open longer, and children answer the door. A steel door only helps if the household actually closes and locks it. That is why we talk about hatches, closer strength, and handle height ā not only bolt count.
Holiday checklist
- Teach older children to use the hatch, not the full leaf, for unknown visitors.
- Fit a closer that shuts the door without slamming (neighbours and babies).
- Keep spare keys with one trusted adult, not under a flower pot.
- If you travel upcountry, deadbolt plus alarm is still the baseline ā the door is not a babysitter.
This post goes live as the August break is in full swing. If your current timber door sticks in the humidity, that is a security gap ā people prop it open.
