Hello to all,
Was seeking opinions on what type of options there are to "to best" prevent doors from being kicked-in.
The link below was recommended by a handyman, but also wanted to ascertain what has worked well for either DIY homeowners w good results or door installers that have used particular hardware that has worked well for your customers over the years.
Our doors are 94" x 32", 4 hinge: Two solid wood, one 80% double pane and one 50% upper double pane window. All open inward to home and garage structures. If you have any suggestions on what's worked well for you or your customers, it would be appreciated. More so, options that have indeed been tested by perps to no avail. We have had 12 kick-ins and 2over the last 2 weeks including 2 robberies of habitation.
If you have any questions, pls let me know. thank you in-advance - tstex
Note, if this device or others can better secure the door knob side of the door, would it make sense to replace some of the std 1,5" screws in the hinges with 3" steel screws?
