Commercial glass doors are a popular choice for businesses, as they provide visibility and aesthetic appeal to the property. However, their security vulnerabilities could put your assets and property at risk.

The following are the two most common methods that burglars use to bypass commercial glass doors: 

Attacking the mortise lock directly

Mortise locks are often used on glass storefront doors in strip malls and large office buildings. Despite being considered commercial locks, they are very susceptible to wrench attacks. A wrench attack involves using a tool like a wrench to twist the lock body until it breaks. This allows the thief to gain access to the building easily.
This method of attack is be very effective, as it does not require special skills or tools. In addition, this method its quiet and can go unnoticed, which makes it an attractive option for thieves.
