HOW SECURE ARE
YOUR DOORS?
Watch the Video, Then Read Below
In the video, notice that the first guy shows up and appears to be dressed as a repairman with some type of identification badge on his shirt. He knocks on the door a few times, then he leaves at 15:45:20.
(His job is to determine if any one is at home...before the actual upcoming burglary takes place).
Exactly 5 minutes later, at 15:50:20 a different guy shows up dressed in a white t-shirt.
At 15:51:05 he "mule kicks" the door and in less than 1 second the door is open, and he rushes into the house without any hesitation.
Please Note: This is a real burglary captured on video by a home security camera that is mounted on the outside of the house.
In the photo on the right, notice the area highlighted in the yellow box. (This photo is a "still-shot" from the video above.)
That is the strike plate that was on the door jamb flying through the air after the door was kicked in.
Attached to the stike plate is the soft wood door frame that the strike plate was screwed into (which is what holds a door shut).
If you go back and watch the video again, you will see this happens at exactly 15:51:05 and the door is open at 15:51:06 (in one second!).
Why Can Doors Be So Easily Kicked-in or Forced Open?
Your Doors Work the Same Way...Unless You Reinforce Your Doors, Burglars Can Get
Into Your House Just as Easy!
It all comes down to one critical design flaw and it's found on virtually every exterior residential entry door. Most exterior doors, hinges, deadbolts and door handle latches are fairly strong. It's the WOODEN DOOR FRAME, also known as the door jamb, that is the weakest area. Door jambs are most often constructed from softwood trees such as Pine, Spruce and Fir.
The problem is quite simple. Soft wood door jambs can't withstand the force of the 1/2" diameter solid steel deadbolt stem being massively forced against them which is what happens when a door is kicked-in or shoulder-slammed. The most efficient, most cost effective solution to fix the problem is to install a metal door frame reinforcement device that extends well above and below the strike plates on the door jamb. It should be well secured using multiple extra-long, high strength, large diameter screws that burrow deep into the wall studs that are behind the door jamb. By doing this, you now have steel holding steel instead of wood holding steel.
Are Your Door Frames Constructed This Way Too?
1. In the picture to the right, notice the typical short, small diameter brass screws that are used on most door strike plates. They provide very little support other than to simply hold the metal strike plate on the door jamb.
2. Notice the thin, weak, decorative softwood trim that the strike plate is mounted on.
3. Notice that the screw is too short to go into the 2x4" wall stud that is behind the decorative wood trim.
4. Notice how short the distance is between the right edge of the strike plate and the edge of the door frame. It's LESS WIDE THAN the person's fingernail is long! That's ALL that's protecting your home AND it's just soft wood!
Now go look at your exterior door jambs and most likely you will have this exact same situation.
Therein lies the # 1 problem that you must correct, or you, your family, and your home will remain completely vulnerable to unwanted intruders.
This Too Could Happen to Your Doors...
What's the Best Solution?

What is the Door Security Kit?
The "Deluxe" Door Security Kit is Comprised of:
• One Door Security Pro XL 72" Door Security Guard - 2 metal plates totaling 72" (6 feet long) which are made from 14 gauge cold-rolled steel and mounts on the door frame OVER TOP of your current strike plates using FOURTEEN 3" heavy duty self-tapping screws (the screws are included). The Door Security Pro XL will accommodate doors with door knob latch / deadbolt spacings of 4.5" to 12.5". If the spacing is greater than 12.5", you simply drill a new hole in the plate to accommodate the location of the deadbolt.
• TWO Door Lock Guards - Often when force is applied to a door (especially if the door frame has been reinforced) the door itself will split apart around the locks. The door splits apart because the locks are in the center of the door and when when force is applied to the door, the door knob latch and the deadbolt stem are stronger than the door itself. The Door Lock Guard "sandwiches" the locks so the door can't split apart. One is used on the door handle latch, and the other one is used on the deadbolt. Plus, there is a component to prevent the door from being pried open.
• 3" Screws to Reinforce the Hinges - Door hinges on exterior doors are made from very strong steel, therefore you only need to replace one of the short 3/4" screws with one 3" long heavy-duty screw to reinforce each of the hinges.
