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 huge long inch screws, lots of them that went thru the metal plates...
I was just on Lowe's website and the reviews for 'Door Jam Armour' were mixed. Many said they couldn't close their door when the product was installed and one reviewer even posted a photo of his door with the product installed and yet was still knocked in by thieves.

It seems the product has some flaws, maybe the best choice for those who don't have side lites is to install something like this. We have a Woodlawn aka Durham CYV which has no side lites, now I'm glad it didn't have any. I wonder if Perry's Glass Door inserts store will see a drop off in business.
