Here's a awfully scary unknown Crime Fact...

Most home burglaries happen between 9 a.m. And 5 p.m. While most home invasions take place between 6 p.m. And 6 a.m. The explanations for this are quite straightforward. A burglar doesn't want anyone home while they rob a house, but the basic premise of a home invasion is for the occupants to be at home so the intruder can extract valuable information from the occupants such as ; where the'real' property are, deposit account information, credit cards and pin numbers, car keys, for example. And many home attackers have much more sinister thoughts to mind , such as physically or sexually attacking you or your loved ones ( 60% of all rapes happen during a home invasion ).

thieves gain access most often By Kicking In Doors! .And That's a Fact.

Front Door Security The FBI says [*CO]'Every 12 seconds a home invasion happens by someone going right thru the front or back door'. This happens in 73% of all break-ins and'door frame failure' is virtually always the cause.

Think about this. How many times have you seen the police on those real crime TV shows kick in doors? A lot, right? Well if a man in a police uniform can do it that simply, then why can't a man in a thief outfit also do it that easily? The fact of the affair is, you don't want anyone to be able to gain entry into your home that simply, if at all .

Watch a number of these Door Kick-in Videos and see just how easy the average door can be kicked in.

Why Are Doors So easily Kicked-in or Forced Open?

It all comes down to one urgent design issue and it's found on almost every exterior home door entryway. Most exterior doors, hinges, deadbolts and door locks are reasonably powerful. It is the WOODEN DOOR FRAME often referred to as the door jamb that's the weakest area. Door jambs are most often constructed from softwood trees like Pine, Spruce and Fir.

Front Door SecurityThese soft woods can't face up to the force of a 1/2' to 3/4' solid steel deadbolt stem being tremendously forced against them as occurs when a door is kicked or'shoulder slammed'. The most efficient, most cost effective solution is to install a metal door frame reinforcement device that extends well above and below the strike plates on the door fame. It should be secured with multiple extra-long, high strength, large diameter screws that burrow deep into the wall studs. This way you have steel holding steel rather than wood holding steel.

1. In the picture below, spot the everyday short, small diameter brass screws that are on most door strike plates. They provide tiny support apart from simply holding the metal strike plate on the door frame.

two. Notice the thin, feeble, decorative softwood trim that the strike plate is mounted on.

three. Notice that the screws are too short to go into the wooden wall stud behind the ornamental wood trim.

4. Notice how short the distance is between the right edge of the strike plate and the fringe of the door frame. It's LESS THICK THAN the person's fingernail is long! That is ALL that is protecting your home AND it's just soft wood!
