The only thing that might be helppful besides the lock in the door's handle is to have a keyed deadbolt in addition to the lock in the handle (or knob).

These bad guys are a problem because if they really want to get in, they will simply break the glass.
A strikeplate on the outside is also helpful because it covers the locks.
