There are several products, common are some sort of reinforced box for the dead bolt with several long screws that really screw into the 2×4 frame instead of the trim When my house was built I reinforced the frame so it can not be flexed. A lot of door frames can be flexed with a large pry bar enough for the latch and bolt to release. Best bet is a high quality exterior security door with a steel or rust proof alloy frame which prevents them from even getting to the front door at all.

About the bottom lockset being picked with a credit card… Most quality doorknob locksets come with a “Dead Latch” They have a pin on the back that stays pushed in when the door closes, and this locks the latch bolt in place… Most exterior doorknob lockets I’ve seen have these… Therefore most doors (even without a deadbolt) wouldn’t open with a credit card if installed properly.

On my doors, I pin the hinge side door jam with thread stock and drill receiving holes in the frame so when the door closes the pins go into the frame. I also fabed strips of stainless about an inch wide and 6″ long for my doors,(yours may vary)and place a 90 degree brake in the center of them and secure them to the latch side of the frame so when the door closes the plate covers the bolt where nothing can get to it. Sorry about not being very explanatory but I reckon you get my drift. Ray,

All are vital! What I am addressing here is to not get a fake sense of security during daylight hours and to use what deterrents you already have.I not unlike alot of people did not realize the ease of getting thru a typical bottom lock. Security systems,deadbolts,locks only work if you use them.Just wanted to get people thinking security.Thanks ===Bob

Uh, this video does not address home security, like locks you can’t bump, door jambs, laminates for windows, security systems.

That Door Safe system from post below looks like it would help. Type “bump key” into youtube…kinda negates everything though. Time fore a Schutzhund level 3 sheperd (a dog that will rip face off intruder) and some excellent hollow points. I despise a thief; the worse being those who don’t care if you’re home.

Excellent advice. My neighbor installed excellent solid doors with quality deadbolts…they just kicked in the door, leaving one large bootprint on the door. Is there a product to reinforce around door jam? Just curious as, of course, they can nearly always get in if determined. But anything to slow em down.

Most thiefs want to minimize their exposure to the public.Anyone can take a chainsaw to the side of a building to get in,they usually dont want to. Bob

bob that was excellent video i just looked at a similar one for the door safe system and seems like even if deadbolt is thrown there is small security.

Wow, that was a quick break-in!
I never thought was so easy to break-in.
I will use the dead bolt every time!
Thanks
