Door Security Hardware
Replace all your flimsy locks with real protection. True door security systems include the door itself, the frame surrounding it, a deadbolt lock, door security hardware, doorbell intercom, peephole, outdoor security lighting and burglar alarm equipment. Most residential doors are weak in all these aspects and keep out only the most timid predators. Most home's doors will burst open with just a kick or two – or quietly yield to prying, lock bumping or picking in less than 10 seconds. Side and back doors often are even weaker – and have fewer possible witnesses.
Rock-Solid Door Security
• Door: standard steel-clad (24-gauge) or 2-inch thick hardwood (with NO recessed panels).
• Doorframe: secure it to the wall-studs by drilling 6-inch hardened-steel screws through the doorframe and into the wall-studs.
• Deadbolt Lock: far and away the best is the Schlage B760 or B860. Only they prevent ALL lock bumping and picking – AND all forms of ramming, kicking, bashing, prying.
• Door Security Hardware: far and away the best are the Mag-747 strike-plate and the Don-Jo wraparound. Also, use 4-inch hardened-steel screws on hinges. See Security Products - Door.
That’ll give you a rock-solid door for less than US $200. You must fortify all your exterior doors – see Home Security - Break-In. Why leave a weak link?
Extra Layers Of Protection
• Doorbell Intercom: to know who’s at your door before you open it.
• Peepholes: again, to know who’s at your door before you open it.
• Outdoor Security Lighting: nighttime burglars prefer the dark.
• Burglar Alarm Equipment: either DIY Home Security Systems or a monitored house alarm.
