Those coupled with long enough screws to get into the underlying framing will go a long way to fortify the doors. Add security film to the windows and you've bought yourself enough time to be able to take up a defensive position, or at least get the fam to your safe room.
Is security film like a special film besides tint? Our house is 90% tinted beside our bonus room upstairs. Will that work or do I need to take off and replace everything?
I only live in a high tax-level house. Kinda rural, long driveway, and we have the barkiest of all dogs, so we're pretty good. Car jacking? I drive a clapped out '84 Cadillac Cimmaron, which causes true gangstas to begin vomiting. I use that distraction to floor the gas pedal and make a gradual exhaust-fumed getaway, keeping an eye on the wretching thugs in my formerly auto-dimming rear view mirror.
Prevents the windows from being easily broken.
okay. Thank you for letting us know.
Educate family and friends not only on being able to fortify their homes for their own safety. But talk with them about what has transpired since January 20, 2021 (when the big guy took over) and the impact that has on our cities, states and country. Enlighten then unenlightened.okay. Thank you for letting us know.
Man my head is really spinning. I thought I had my life all squared out. Since when that guy came in...... This country just turned upside down.
I thought you lived in a van down by the river?!Who said I live in a house at all? I've been collecting Amazon boxes and made Lean to by the bus station out of em
Nice ankles?
40 years ago that's exactly where I came from.. Communism. All I had was 20 dollars in my pocket. And some people today doesn't even know what they're getting into. If I can just share what I know, maybe for a change. I've seen this 40 years ago. People get shot after 10 pm with no accountability. People get ran over by military and they're only worth $5,000 to their families. There will only be Rich & Poor with No Middle Class. People will then realize what they had in the palm of their hand. I could go on and on that will make your spine chill. That accordian door slide in the picture took me right back since when I was a child. They went full blown Marxist & trying to take over. This is my home now and I took an oath that I will respect, abide, and live the American way of life. Its what I can do for my country to help better peoples lives and mine too shall be rewarded. This country is built for people that wants to make the difference in their lives. Its the people that care and small business that made it to #1. They have to be stopped or we lose this country! This is not about political parties. Its all about our freedom and our family's future too.
Those will help, but the real weak point is the door jamb. There's not much wood there that needs to be broken to get in. Reinforcing plates there and screws that are long enough to reach the home's framing, not just into the jamb, are a better bang for your buck.
Hardening the most common entry points is definitely the biggest bang for the buck on effectiveness. Doors are easily kicked in. Windows are easily smashed. If you harden both of those, they have to put in more effort to get in.

Makes sense, however doesn't matter. As it isn't in place.
Right. That's why I provided this link in my original message you quoted:
is the door jamb reinforcement piece. The three pieces together (door jamb reinforcement, strike plate reinforcement, and door blocker) would be quite a bit to get through, assuming some 3-inch or 4-inch screws were used on the first two items to anchor into the studs and not just the thin wood of the jamb. Something else I'm looking for are the 12-inch-long hinges with a 9-bolt pattern. Something to be said for having 3 feet worth of hinges to bust through on a 6½-foot tall door. Ain't no dobad expecting something like that...
