Backdoors in restaurants, retail stores, and other businesses are required for deliveries, emergency exits, and other business operations. However, when businesses fail to manage them properly, these points of entry turn into points of weakness. It’s not uncommon to see backdoors propped open, whether for legitimate operations or questionable smoke breaks. While employees, and management, may view this routine behavior as harmless – these actions can result in serious safety and security risks. Below are some of the most pressing risks businesses face when back door security is not a priority:
- Security Threats – Open and unsecured back doors welcome criminals who intend to commit crimes, such as theft and violence. They are ideal targets for criminal activity because they offer opportunities in the form of convenient access points.
- Internal theft – Open and unsecured back doors also create opportunities for employees to steal undetected, over long periods of time. Internal theft through unsecured exits often results in major financial losses, as employees can easily exit with large amounts of merchandise, sometimes entire cases, through the backdoor and into waiting vehicles. This type of theft is difficult to detect in real-time and can lead to significant inventory shrink over time.
- Safety Risks – Open or unsecured back doors jeopardize everyone’s safety. These security breakdowns allow unauthorized entry to areas which creates danger for both employees and customers. Food service establishments encounter an additional challenge, allowing rodents and other pests to enter, putting food safety at risk.
Security Without Sacrifices
The risks don’t have to outweigh the benefits of backdoor use. With appropriate security measures in place businesses can protect their perimeters while maintaining operational efficiency. Timers and backdoor alarms provide a simple method to maintain safety standards, security protocols and regulatory compliance.
- Real-Time Alerts – Backdoor alarms notify managers and staff when a door is left open beyond a specific timeframe. These alerts prevent unauthorized access and theft by guaranteeing immediate attention to unsecured doors.
- Timed Systems to Discourage Open Doors – Alarms equipped with timers make it inconvenient to prop doors open for extended periods, ensuring they stay closed when not in use. This balances the need for access during deliveries or legitimate business operations with maintaining strong security processes.
- Enhanced Emergency Readiness – Backdoor alarm systems can integrate with security platforms, alerting management or law enforcement in the event of an emergency. This real-time response capability can significantly reduce risks and potential damages.

Secure Backdoors Matter
Imagine this scenario: During a routine delivery, an employee props the back door open. After the delivery, the employee gets distracted and leaves the door open and unsecured. A few moments later, a criminal under the influence of drugs and alcohol gains access to the back room and assaults an employee. A simple mistake like leaving a door open can pose serious threats to employees and customers.
