You can't. We go out through the garage. Dead bolt on the laundry room door out to the garage, and nobody can jimmy through the garage door and pull the dangling handle, because it has to be pulled backward in the direction of the interior of the garage. If they can get in, they can have my car. I want a white one.

The purpose is to secure the locked door from being kicked in. There's only so much you can do to keep people out if they really want to get in. But this is certainly better than just the dead bolt. That plus the F clamps plus the jimmy-proof slider locks have made the openings to the house more secure.
