our custom sized retrofitted security doors averaged about $1000 each including installation to suit single hinged doors and about $500 included with a standard sized sliding glass door...ours were custom made by a local supplier to the same standard as the named brands..they're key locked and we're very happy with being able to leave the solid doors open overnight and when absent and they look so much better than any other security doors BUT for less obvious doors (laundry, internal door to garage etc) we've discovered an alternative very modest price door that we're also very happy with (bit fiddly to install but black or white Bastion for $169 from Bunnings)

I have been planning to upgrade my home security system for a long time because I am living in an area that has seen an increase in burglaries, so I have thought to invest some money in-home security systems. When it comes to any entry point at home, the main door is often an easy target for thieves. Old-fashioned Lock system, Deadbolt, is still installed at my main door, rest of doors and windows as well. It is a piece of cake for burglars to break-in the doors with such security system. One of my neighbors has recommended me to hire the Locksmiths near you. They are providing their services at competitive prices. Before I hire them, I thought to get advice from the experts of this well-known community. My question is What are the other things I can do to make my home system more secure? Also, I have heard about tools like smart home automation systems. These tools allow you to monitor your home and check in remotely from anywhere in the world. You can control security systems, set up motion detection lights on timers and trigger notifications to come to your phone or smartwatch. If I go for these smart tools then how much these tools would cost me to make a good smart home security system and would it be more effective than key security system.
