You don’t want to be caught in a position where you’re not finished, aren’t sure how to finish, and need to leave your door unsecured overnight. Be conscious of your timing as well if you’re not confident that you’ll be able to finish a reinforcement project by the end of the day, wait to start until the next day, or consider hiring a handyman to help. You may also need some basic tools: screwdrivers and a drill will help install new hardware.
You’ll likely need to purchase some stronger hardware and perhaps even a new door, but the peace of mind that will come from knowing that your home is secure will be well worth it. What you can do, however, is secure doorframes around reinforced doors, add door-lock reinforcement, and include additional security features to avoid coming home to find your door kicked in.
What will you need to create a truly kick-proof door? Doors have leverage points, so it’s very difficult to make one completely impossible to force open. Vivint’s professionally installed systems don’t just alert you to threats-they help both prevent and deter them. Protect your home and family with a top-notch security system.
