We have a rug in front of the door, and to use the bar, we would need to move the rug, defeating the reason for the rug in the first place. Also, you cannot have the bar installed if you are leaving the house (we do not go in the garage typically).
By the way, the brushed nickel heavy duty striker plates tend to be hard to find.

I know, we liked the brushed nickle as well but had to go with the SHINEY GOLD...yuck....cause thats all they had in stock at the time, but...
.turns out it can be seen from the road...so maybe it worked out anyway.....you can see that we did some kind of reinforcement from a distance and may keep away the prowlers....you never know...
