So we have been doing some home improvements, such as new interior door hardware and paint.
We have talked for a while about upgrading our master bed room door to solid core and making it somewhat high security. The idea being during a home invasion if we or one of us could make it to the master bedroom and bolt the door, we would then have access to a old cell phone for 911 and a night stand gun, and then we might be able to make our stand. Or just buy some time to think things through, maybe escape through the back master bath door, what ever.
My original thought was a standard interior door knob and some sort of heavy slide bolt, with lots of long screws every where.
Here is what I am thinking
This looks a bit wimpy, particularly the strike plate, any suggestions or thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
