This is the part that breaks when someone tries to kick down your door (what actually breaks is the wood door frame next to the two small screws holding the latch in place).<br /><br />Replace it with a four or five foot long strike bar. You can buy them from any big box home improvement store for under $100, and install them in 15 minutes or less.<br /><br />The strike bar replacement and a good deadbolt will stop your door from being kicked down, forcing a burglar to either break through your door with an axe or break through the wall of your house to get inside.<br /><br />As for getting a bullet proof door, you really need to look at the construction of your home. The standard exterior walls of homes made within the last 30 years or so are just vinyl over plywood. Thus, upgrading just your door is not enough, as that only causes a burglar to go through the wall instead.hsunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-6847887023356241282011-05-24T19:10:13.308-07:002011-05-24T19:10:13.308-07:00A firearm is essential.

The combination of an alarm, a dog and a homeowner with a firearm he/she is able to use competently, will make it less likely that an invader will make the attempt and much less likely that he will be successful if he tries.Uncle Georgenoreply@blogger.com
