Front Door Security Tips - 3 ways to stop intruders Home Kicking In Doors!

The FBI claims A house is attacked every twelve seconds someone goes straight through from front or back door. Secure your doors. "

the best way to smash someone in your house kicking the door. He is the way that the vast majority of home invaders and burglars enter a house. In fact, come right out the door more than 70% of the time ... and 80% of the time frame of the door does not lock the door as most believe.

Just how does someone kick in the door?

more often the doors are 'Shoulder Slammed' or'Mule Kicked "by outsiders." Slamming "shoulder" is only one driving on the shoulder of a door with great force. 'Kicking Mule "is when a person turns his back on the door and kick the same way a mule game with his back leg. A" Kicking Mule 'door is a favorite way intruder to access, allowing you to see who might be watching him from the street and beyond, and can open a door in a flash when it is on the right track.

Four Reasons doors can be removed so easily ...

1. Most door frames of the houses are no less than 2 2 "for 4 "pine studs nailed together and covered with fine wood decorative trim.

two. Most of the door knobs and locks are poorly protected in the door.

3. Most door hinges are held at the door and door frame with screws one inch long or less. (Go remove a screw from one of the hinges and you'll see)

4. Most door frames are a little thin, weak strike plate that is held by screws in less than a cm long.

How to fix weak Close the door and door frame problems ...

is highly unrealistic that you can do to fix the fact that its walls and frames the doors are of softwood 2 '4 'tacos. It is simply a fact that most homes are created in this way. But what can be done is to strengthen all weak areas that are most prone to failure.

one. Place a metal gate guard in areas where the doorknob and lock that reaches the edge of the door. This discourages the locking knob of the door latch and spring to have the ability to be broken in the door.

2. Replace the typical short one-inch screws in the hinges with 2.5 'long screws in the hinge side of going to the door frame and put 1.5' screws on the side of the hinge that joins at the door. This makes the side of the door hinges be able to be expelled.

three. Replace the small 1 to 3 inches in the strike plates under the door with a metal foot five-door beefing up Pro products like door Security Door Security Guard (available at http://www.doorsecuritypro.com ). This prohibits the latch side of the door to the possibility of being expelled open. This 5 'strike plate metal has a dual purpose. Replaces strike negligible small plates with something much stronger and prevents the low door frames, softwood division. When you break the door frame, which is what making the doorknob and latch to allow the door to open. The safety door Pro also simply fix a broken door frame.

Knobs and Bolts

except as noted above, make sure you have doorknobs and locks premium models preferably newer'pick test.

We very recently have strengthened their frame and hinges of the door if the quality of their locks is poor. By the same token, good door locks alone will not prevent a goal kick in. You can try and correct all deficiencies if you will be absolutely protected.
Home Safety Security Door
The old saying ... "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" definitely applies when considering the frames of doors and door locks. Fix now that is fresh in your mind. Of course, what is most valuable for their safety, the safety of your family and home? Security home
