In reply to Michael Johnson. You are right about the way door frames are made and put together. some yrs ago I got or was locked out of the house at 1 AM ( seeing my wife off to take care of a sick grandson ), it only took 5 minutes to kick the door in ( entry door to house from garage ), but took about 2 hrs to fix. Now I don't know if longer screws would do any good in that door frame.

In reply to alfred uhrich. I remember that happening, yes the farmer lost his farm, but the neighbors all went together ( people for a large radius chipped in enough money ) and helped the farmer get his farm back. Also the bad guy was counter sued by the farmer and received a partial settlement. the prep / what ever you called burglar had been hitting a quite a few farms in the area, so local were on the look out for the guy.

In reply to Jeannie Horenkamp. I had to laugh at Mouth and Muscle. For I have Detect and Protect. A shit-zue and a Great Dane.

I have heard so many stories about people posting on Facebook about going on holidays, then getting robbed while they are away.

Really doesn’t hurt having a big dog around the house.

In reply to Michael Johnson. You're right, I've replaced all the screws in my door frames with 3" to 3 1/2" wood screws, it makes a big difference.

In reply to Jeannie Horenkamp. I hope you also have some fire power with you as well.

In reply to alfred uhrich. The farmer's mistake was calling the police, he should have made fertilizer out of the criminal.

I have two dogs I call “Mouth” and “Muscle”. Mouth is a Jack Russell who misses nothing and sounds an alarm better than a motion detector. Muscle is a large dog who can scare you even hearing him bark…the kind of dog most people will try to avoid getting too close to. These two, along with a doggie door and a chain link fence seem to be as effective a deterrent as a home alarm would be. If someone attempts to come into our back yard uninvited, they will meet with loud and painful resistance. And every time I answer my front door, Mouth and Muscle are right behind me.

Door stops are extremely under utilized yet cheap and easy to install. I am particular to a device called the door club. It amazing how much people don’t inspect thier door frames. Especially with older homes a good kick can knock a lot of locks right out of the frame if the door itself doesn’t give but a good brace at floor level can do wonders.
