Burglar tried to break in while I was still home
Someone tried breaking into our home when I was still inside. I'm still worried if the person will ever come back so I want to slow him down as much as possible. Numerous sources suggested reinforcing the door as one of the main priority so I purchased this. Why choose this over others? It looks overkill but you can't put a price on feeling safe in your own home again. The only thing I'm familiar with is building IKEA furniture so this was considered a jump in the learning curve. I ended up installing this without any modifications and it took about 20 minutes to finish. PROBLEM: I wasn't able to close the door after the hinge shields were installed. The nail would rip out of the door hinge if I closed it all the way. FIX: The instruction says not to over-tighten the screws. I ended up tightening what I thought would be over-tightened and the door closed without a problem. Some say the MAX combo is overkill but after being inside my home while the burglar repeatedly kicked my door, it's worth it. If you want to layer your door security, you should - Use a solid core or metal door - Wide angle peephole - High Quality deadbolt with ANSI grade 1 that has a 1-inch throw bolt
