Steel security door

I'll not go into details of what I have in my own home, nor of those I designed and built for clients, but with anything "security" you are better with multiple layers as opposed to one device to defeat. How you stack those layers is based on budget and use.

A door that looks like a normal door, but is not, is generally a good first step. Make sure to get hinges, jambs and hardware that can not be defeated with a few swings of a 5 pound sledge and you are off to a great start. A motion detector on both sides of that door is a good second step.
 
I appreciate that reminder MarkCO. Layers of security. I have a RING camera/light on my shop. I intend to install a few extra on the house soon. Like you mentioned, I do not want a door that screams "security, don't look in here". I'd like it to be as nondescript as possible.

Because of my homes layout I can get a water line in there very easily. I'm also gong to look into a sprinkler system on the ceiling. Can't be too hard to do.
 
With PEX, you can easily loop a line in there with a sprinkler head.

I don't like to dead end metal pipes with domestic water.
