Yes you wouldn't want someone to break into your house and steal your stupid red beret.

I am all about security and thought I would share knowlage with a fellow serviceman. I hope i din't offend.

There is one more thing you might want to do. On your doors casing you would want to put a actual 1\4 in thick steel plate that has a hight of about a foot with heavy duty screws that go all the way thru both two by fours behind the casing. With only having the factory plate and screws going just in the first two by four it would not be tough enough to with stand a strong kick as it will just break forward. We had a door with just the standard hardware until it happend to us.

[duffweld]

thanks for the tips. a good idea is to not look like you've got something to hide.

Those dead bolt locks won't do shit with a good kick an invader is in. Get some Door Jamb Armor or The Ultimate Lock

And this wood and door work was precisely cut with a hand axe.

Good Job! But you should also consider insulating your door knobs or other metal objects so you can run 120AC to them.

Take Care

Much of the crime being commited today is by government agencies, with expensive and sophisticated breaking and entry tools. Many illegal raids by SWAT and other agencies, some because of a wrong address, others over political differences between the home resident and the local government. One needs to go to great lengths to fortify against this new form of crime. Fixing a door is fine, but a joke when you can kick a hole in the wall next to it.

Or, you could put 6 locks on your door and when you leave, you just lock 3 of them. So when the thief comes he/she unlocks 3 locks, but also locks the last 3 locks.
