Commercial grade steel doors, locksets and frames. Grouted into cmu walls, the cavities at jambs filled with concrete to minimize jamb spreaders. I figure that ought to slow them down.<br /><br />Btw, some solid wood 'chocks' inserted into jamb (both sides), threshold and door head would also make it harder to kick in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2359657762730149804.post-64658255429500052072013-12-02T10:03:32.916-08:002013-12-02T10:03:32.916-08:00We've been talking about replacing our front d...We've been talking about replacing our front door.

After repairing the frame and adding the longer screws as Spud mentioned, I lag bolted a piece of 2 inch stainless angle through the frame and stud. That door won't be kicked in again, it'll take a battering ram...Mayberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07664966137470121099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2359657762730149804.post-82526585606682158362013-12-01T13:33:23.188-08:002013-12-01T13:33:23.188-08:00That's why you put three inch screws in place ...That's why you put three inch screws in place of the normal ones for the striker plates.
