when my daughter had someone try to break into her apartment, but since she was home he fled, we saw just how easy it was to push on a door.

We found Door Jam Armor in Lowes. It was $90. You have it installed or just do it yourself, while metal strips go around the door jam, the door it self and around the handle of the doorknob and dead bolt. It included 8 inch screws that went thru the metal plate. It can clearly be seen from the outside warpping round the door knobs. we chose not to paint it the same as the door color so that prowlers will know it is inplace and might move on.

So far, so good. Here at our home, the previous owner was a cop and I suppose knew a little something more than the builder we are the only ones in the neighborhood who has doors that open out. Cannot be pushed in.

So for $90 and some installation time, Armor Jam could be a deterent for the bad guy to move on.
