My new house has two ceiling access doors/panels and it is making me a bit worried as I have heard stories of burglars entering into a house from the roof via this opening. My friend Asiah said that she had a grill made to cover the access door in her house. The grill is locked. She had it done in 2002 and paid RM35 for it.
I had found a fancy flowery pattern and wanted the contractor to make such a grill for me but he told me that it would not be that secure as a burglar could still use a saw or other tools to come down. However, Kamariah said that having the grill would make it more difficult for would be burglars to break-in and she advised me to get it done.
I did a search on the Internet and found some ideas on security ceiling access doors. I will most definitely contact Mr Quah, the grill maker, again next week and tell him to come and take the measurements to have the grill done. Alternatively, I could get a carpenter to make an aluminium door with a lock similar to the one below.
