Here is a awfully scary little known Crime Fact...

Most home burglaries occur between nine a.m. And five p.m. While most home invasions take place between 6 p.m. And 6 a.m. The reasons for this are quite easy. A burglar does not want anybody home while they rob a house, but the premise of a home invasion is for the occupants to be at home so that the interloper can extract valuable info from the occupants such as ; where the'real' valuables are, bank account information, credit cards and pin numbers, car keys, for example. And many home attackers have much more sinister thoughts in mind , like physically or sexually attacking you or your friends ( 60% of all rapes occur in a home invasion ).

burglars gain entry most often By Kicking In Doors! .And That's a Fact.

Front Door Security The FBI says [*CO]'Every 12 seconds a home invasion occurs by someone going right through the front or back door'. This occurs in 73% of all break-ins and'door frame failure' is virtually always the cause.

Think about this. How often have you seen the police on those real crime TV shows kick in doors? A lot, right? Well if a man in a police uniform can do it that easily, then why can't a person in a burglar outfit also do it that easily? The fact of the affair is, you don't want anyone to be ready to gain access into your home that easily, if in any way.

Watch a few of these Door Kick-in Videos and see just how easy the average door can be kicked in.

Why Are Doors So easily Kicked-in or Forced Open?
Front Door Security door frame failure

It all boils down to one critical design failing and it's found on virtually every exterior residential door entryway. Most exterior doors, hinges, deadbolts and door locks are reasonably robust. It's the WOODEN DOOR FRAME AKA the door jamb that's the weakest area. Door jambs are most often created from softwood trees such as Pine, Spruce and Fir.

Front Door SecurityThese soft woods can't face up to the force of a 1/2' to 3/4' solid steel deadbolt stem being massively forced against them as occurs when a door is kicked or'shoulder slammed'. The most efficient, most cost effective solution is to install a metal door frame beefing up device that extends well above and below the strike plates on the door fame. It should be secured with multiple extra-long, high strength, massive diameter screws that burrow deep into the wall studs. This way you have steel holding steel rather than wood holding steel.

one. In the picture below, spot the everyday short, little diameter brass screws that are on most door strike plates. They provide little support apart from simply holding the metal strike plate on the door frame.

two. Notice the thin, feeble, decorative softwood trim that the strike plate is mounted on.

three. Notice the screws are too short to go into the wooden wall stud behind the decorative wood trim.

four. Notice how short the distance is between the right edge of the strike plate and the fringe of the door frame. It's LESS THICK THAN the person's fingernail is long! That's ALL that is defending your home AND it's just soft wood!
