back in 08 my dad bought a house in nowhere, north carolina. few days after moving in we were robbed. the same day my dad went to home depot and came home with a bunch of supplies to pin-lock all the windows and reinforce door frames with quarter inch steel. over the years we saw a couple scrapes and tool marks but never were we robbed again.
@@christiansnyder2183 it was actually when I came home from school my dad was at work and I started to notice things were slightly off so I went looking for the double barrel and it was missing.... so I ran to neighbors and called cops
@@xxmeanyheadxx it's one thing to realize you're being robbed, but to find out it's your weapon, what's stollen, is on another level. Did the guy get caught?
Don't forget that many door frame areas have been drilled and nailed to death. When you replace door reinforce and repair the jam. A weak structure can fail with sufficient force. I managed an apartment complex and we had break ins and a rape. I doubled up the wood, used security strike plates and wood cored metal doors. Also reinforce the hinged side! That is another failure point folks miss. One more note. Select knot and defect free wood and try to find with grain pattern that is parallel to the strike plate. Stronger against strike forces and will have better grip on the long screws.
Could you explain the grain being parallel to the strike plate? Is that for the grain of the wood of the door? Or the frame? And does that mean the wood grain should be mostly perpendicular to the direction the door opens?
xadam2dudex because most criminals won’t want to waste that much time one people probably heard them banging the door and if not that there definitely gonna hear that brick crashing though the window which will give you enough time if your home to prepare yourself and grab your fire arm, if your not home people on the block will most likely spot them.
Just a friendly reminder that everyone already knows that someone could try the window next. The point of this is to give you a 30 second warning to get a gun ready, and call 911 if you have time.
@@sj0nnie Yes, I’m an American and I have a gun. I also have a reinforced front door that would hopefully make someone give up before said gun becomes necessary.
@@sj0nnie not a negative thing at all, think about what would happen to you in this situation in your oppressed country. You wouldn’t have a gun, no way to defend yourself.
Guest 455518 I’m in America and I’m shocked because where I’m from all our doors r steel doors and then window have metal bars on the outside and not even bullets go through my front door😂😂
I always thought the door kicking was just a hollywood-movie thing. I'm quite shocked to find out it seems to be normal in the US for doors to be so frail. Try that kicking here in Germany and you will at best break your ankle. I was looking into how to make my door safer but seems like I'll have to look up some german videos instead :D
I remember being some pub or perhaps gasthaus and looking g up at the ceiling joists that were probably something equivalent to 4x 8 or 4x 10. Set like a foot or at most 16 inches on center. Oh yeah who knows how old and dense and perfect that wood was? Those beams were 150-200 years old. I remember now this was in Mengsberg ( Neustadt) in Hessen.
This reminds me of when Popular Science or Popular Mechanics tried to design a theft proof vacation house in the late 70's. They spent a lot of their effort making the door and door frame extremely strong. The thief went in through the windows.
That's why they recommend planting hedges of thorny plants like roses under the windows. Won't stop a determined burglar, but will probably make you a way less attractive target than the house next door.
The first thing I do in any new house is replace all the door screws (including a few in each hinge) with 3.5" framing screws. This includes the door into the house from the garage. So few people know that a really common way for Intruders to get in is to break into your car and use the garage door opener.
This is so true, I was locked out of my house in middle school, no one was home and I wanted to get inside of course. Me being maybe 13 at the time; was able to open the door by ramming my shoulder into it ! We need better security 😂😂😂 this gadget looks cheap and effective 👍🏻
Much easier than you think to kick in a door. I've been trying to tell people this for years. Some listen, most don't. Definitely need to fortify your doors. Thanks!
You know whats funny the fire Department came to my house two days ago cause of a gas leak in my pipes and they kick down the door just like in the video
Another tip: If you have glass panes on your front door, be sure to have a double deadbolt lock. You lock it from the inside with a key. No one can break the glass, then reach in to unlock your door with a twist knob.. Be sure to keep the key nearby for an emergency exit in case of fire. 🔥
I am a lifetime carpenter and I have done that type of installation for my entire career and that is why you should hire a professional to do the job also another thing I always found when people install the door knob they do it wrong the little half moon on the bolt is called the bolt lock it should not enter the hole in the jamb it needs to be against the strike plate so the bolt will not be able to be opened with a credit card
The very best way to secure any door is to install a gate rod at the bottom of the door drilled directly into the concrete slab or foundation, the thicker the rod the better. Believe me it works great 👍
One great, albeit industrial looking solution is to use three 2×4s equally spaced across the back of the door and a locked metal security/storm door in front. The metal storm door should have spikes to absorb/deter kicks and other impacts. Had an angry manic depressive ex kick down a door with that fortress jamb featured in this video installed! 1. the jamb was about 2/3 up from the bottom of the door instead of halfway. 2. While installing the jamb I told her that it could be defeated by kicks to the MIDDLE causing the door to flex along a mid-longitudinal axis and pop the dead bolt, not knowing one day she would kick it down herself. 😅 Lesson be careful what you teach certain people!
Judge: So she killed her husband because he walked in on the freshly washed floor? Cop: Yes your Honor, thats correct. Judge: But you didn't arrest her for over an hour. Why? Cop: Ahh, well your Honor, the floors were still wet.
People in the comments dont understand. If you were asleep and someone tried to break in they would go for the door first. If the door is reinforced then that means they will probably kick it a bunch of times which basically wakes you up and prepares you for it. Meanwhile they now have to decide if its worth going for a window now that the homeowner is probably awake and alert. If they decide to go for a window now they have to find somethign to break it with if they don't have a tool with them, they also have to climb through the window which can be dangerous as well if its off the ground. It also means if they steal anything they have to either jump out the window which means they can't steal anything too large, or they have to unlock the front door which slows them down. there is no reason NOT to have a reinforced front door.
On the inside before you put the drywall up put some 2x4’s horizontally between the vertical studs so the 2x4’s can’t flex. Sometimes with a big enough pry bar the vertical 2x4’s will flex because the only thing holding them in place is at the top plate and the bottom plate. By doing this kind of ties it all together and makes it solid.
See now I would think that the more BOUNCE the better to a point. You can see what I'm talking about in this video. It looks as if when he kicks the door that BOUNCE from not being a very RIDGID structure, it keeps from absorbing much of the energy of the blow to the door ? No ?
Why so easy to kick in? Despite the low crime rate, here in Hong Kong most houses have a metal gate in addition to a hard wooden door bolted to a steel frame embedded into concrete wall. Burglary by forcing into homes is very rare.
My neighbor reinforced his front door so much. When his home was invaded. Thieves actually tore the entire door and frame out of the wall. There is always a weakest link
I was assigned to a SEAL Team as a builder support guy. One of the tasks was to build doors for a breacher team to practice on. Obviously, theyre bringing the "A" game but I would build them to spec. They have longer strike plates than that and hinge security plates as well. But there is a limit. Id always build at least 1 strongest door, they knew it and they would blast the hinges off, blow the lock set with a charge and be right behind it.
In the UK near to every house automatically comes with the steel plate and every door is very secure and thick. A lot of our doors also lock at the top middle and bottom for extra security (done when locking the door with a key)
@@Jonnypinny 😂 I mean yeah you probably could just do this on a lot of houses lol but the odd few have built in sensors and triggers the burglar alarm. Most houses don't have this though only newer ones
@@adkads27 and this is why kids and parents have to worry about going out or going to school 🤣 as well as some kids resulting to having armoured back packs. Thankfully I've never had to worry about that cause the chance of a school shooting happening is SUPER low
I always wondered why Americans have such thin and frail doors (in movies/media anyway) and why they open inwards? My tenement has thick and fireproof steel doors that lock with three hooks on each side and open outward. When the cops came to bust a neighbor they tried busting the door open for an hour but couldn't get in (they got one hook outta six). They eventually had to get someone with a master key to come open the door for them. Edit: I live in Sweden btw.
We installed a steel back door. Lots of break ins previously, in our area, through patio doors. I had the pleasure of looking out around midnight, with no lights on, at a bunch of baffled would be burglars staring at my shiny door. Turned on the light and they ran for it.
@@thatman8710 to avoid getting snowed in during winter I would imagine. Perhaps for wild life as well. Another great benefit is that it does not take up space indoors.
@@pontuslandin6883 how is that going to help avoid getting snowed in? Having a door that opens outwards would be more difficult to open if snow piles up against it.
You must live is area with warm climate or that has hurricane and tornadoes. In the north doors open inwards d/t flooding and snow but down south its outwards.
Hey Jason, make a video on securing a double entry door. The weak point would be the centre of both doors. How do you recommend securing such a door? Great tips, and looking forward to a new video on securing double entry doors. Thanks.
@@thestache5424 designers go for asthetic, not function Big windows in the center look pretty but that's it. Whenever I own my own place I'll make sure to replace any exterior doors like that
Yeah, I live in an apartment complex and some of the doors have a big, glass window. I’m glad it’s not one of mine. I’d bet that even if some of the tenants were smart enough to request something different, management would tell them that it falls out of style with the look.
I have a front door with glass center, the deadbolt is key only, meaning if you broke glass you couldn’t just turn something to unlock it, could probably still climb through the window though. Not having that feature on my next house for sure.
It isnt the steel door. Its the door lock on the wood frame. A steel door is strong but the dead bolt and door handle go into a tiny circular metal square that you use 1 inch screws to mount to a WOODEN frame. The metal door is only as strong as the wooden frame that dead bolt and such go into. So thats why this guy is recomending a like 7 inch long netal plate with long screws to spread out the force on the wood framing. Get it ?
Do yourself a favor and install something for the door too, it's only going to buy you time to either: a) wake up and get your gun or b) keep your weapons safe while you're gone
For those saying the criminal could just go through the window; shattering glass makes A LOT of noise. That's why they try the door first. Plus if the owner's at home, breaking a giant window just alerted them of an intruder and gave them ample time to grab their gun and come out the bedroom blasting!
@@zshakur If the frame gives way. Yeah. A quick boom. Sure. Thieves can just go up to doors and give them a simple push. In fact, I'm going to regularly push-test my doors from now on to make sure I'm safe. I wouldn't want to be caught off guard by a bad frame like the one in this ridiculous video. I hope my wall doesn't fall over.
OK, First of all have a substantial reasonably heavy gage metal door and frame. In sane states and cities they have fire code doors and frames. Second it's true, MAKES USE you have at like 16 or 18 3" or more stainless steel screws securing the frame ( what construction guys call the "buck" to the house frame. Use THREE strong hinges on the door.. Then, PLACE A STRUT TYPE LOCK (A "FOX" TYPE LOCK) OR A 2 X 4 WOOD BEAM FTOM THE FLOOR AT LEAST 3 FEET BACK FROM THE DOORS BOTTOM TO THE INSIDE LOCK AREA..... Then, place a good proximity detector or a good vibration sensor and connect it to a loud alarm bell or speaker INSIDE the door AND have some other sounding device in a reasonably near but separated window or side of building!!!! You want axstrong fireproof door Like FDNY level standards, AND you want a night STRUT device AND you want a good LOUD alarm that senses a potential intruder when he is too close t o the outside of your door or house perimeter AND of course you want an EFFECTIVE firearm that you have gone for EFFECTIVE training with.....

@@chickenlittle2206 Sappers Lead the way.
Oh yes but what if I'm to put the breaching charge on my side of the door to set off when they kick it.
@@fortunateson2 and pioneers would join the fray
@@tagofox4603 You need to post a warning sign that "All forced entries will be met with equal and opposite force". Then it's game on!
When your elbow hits the doorknob and u say it’s the doors fault
In the UK near to every house automatically comes with the steel plate and every door is very secure and thick. A lot of our doors also lock at the top middle and bottom for extra security (done when locking the door with a key)
I will find a window then xD
@@Jonnypinny 😂 I mean yeah you probably could just do this on a lot of houses lol but the odd few have built in sensors and triggers the burglar alarm. Most houses don't have this though only newer ones
@@Jonnypinny window have iron grills, good luck banging your head on it
In the USA, we have guns
@@adkads27 and this is why kids and parents have to worry about going out or going to school 🤣 as well as some kids resulting to having armoured back packs. Thankfully I've never had to worry about that cause the chance of a school shooting happening is SUPER low
You need reinforced steel frame and door.
I always wondered why Americans have such thin and frail doors (in movies/media anyway) and why they open inwards? My tenement has thick and fireproof steel doors that lock with three hooks on each side and open outward. When the cops came to bust a neighbor they tried busting the door open for an hour but couldn't get in (they got one hook outta six). They eventually had to get someone with a master key to come open the door for them.
Edit: I live in Sweden btw.
The reason they're built that way is because it's cheap and easy.
Money
@@dickiewongtk New house= cheap door
Old house= solid wood
Do you live in Alcatraz?
yah i alwayse wondered about these dumb doors and walls in city at high crime rate
There is something extremely therapeutic about watching videos about security doors, windows, and things that frustrate thieves.
New Home construction here. Larger screws is the way to go for sure. That's what we use. But people still break in one way or another.
We installed a steel back door. Lots of break ins previously, in our area, through patio doors. I had the pleasure of looking out around midnight, with no lights on, at a bunch of baffled would be burglars staring at my shiny door. Turned on the light and they ran for it.

It blows my mind that houses in the US seem to be made out of cardboard.
It's cheaper and faster that way. Or at least, that's what they say. Definitely cheaper to build at least.

Get a quote to have one built. I have. You can't do it affordably any other way.
You also need 3 inch screws on the hinges as well. Very important

In Sweden all external doors open outward so that they “can’t” be kicked in no matter the price range
Is there a practical reason why they do that or is that just how they do things?
@@thatman8710 to avoid getting snowed in during winter I would imagine. Perhaps for wild life as well. Another great benefit is that it does not take up space indoors.
@@pontuslandin6883 Interesting.
@@pontuslandin6883 how is that going to help avoid getting snowed in? Having a door that opens outwards would be more difficult to open if snow piles up against it.

You have suicide doors on your house?

You must live is area with warm climate or that has hurricane and tornadoes. In the north doors open inwards d/t flooding and snow but down south its outwards.
Hey Jason, make a video on securing a double entry door. The weak point would be the centre of both doors. How do you recommend securing such a door? Great tips, and looking forward to a new video on securing double entry doors. Thanks.
Even with this, having a door with a glass center window is a bad idea. They could just break the glass and unlock it
Reminds of that scene from The 'Burbs where Tom Hanks' neighbor did just that. My front door has a glass center and I plan on replacing it soon..
I don't even know why they make those things
@@thestache5424 designers go for asthetic, not function
Big windows in the center look pretty but that's it.
Whenever I own my own place I'll make sure to replace any exterior doors like that
Yeah, I live in an apartment complex and some of the doors have a big, glass window. I’m glad it’s not one of mine. I’d bet that even if some of the tenants were smart enough to request something different, management would tell them that it falls out of style with the look.
I have a front door with glass center, the deadbolt is key only, meaning if you broke glass you couldn’t just turn something to unlock it, could probably still climb through the window though. Not having that feature on my next house for sure.
Fist thing I bought when I got my new house was a full jam and new window cranks that only crank one way with a safety trigger for fires.
Steel Doors: look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power
It isnt the steel door. Its the door lock on the wood frame. A steel door is strong but the dead bolt and door handle go into a tiny circular metal square that you use 1 inch screws to mount to a WOODEN frame. The metal door is only as strong as the wooden frame that dead bolt and such go into.
So thats why this guy is recomending a like 7 inch long netal plate with long screws to spread out the force on the wood framing. Get it ?
Forget the fancy door we need to start installing moats and drawbridges again

The first door he kicked was already open.... 🤣

I use a Glock 19 as a door stopper, if they make it thru that I also use an AK47
It must work well when you're not home
MCMLXXXIV , it actually does, you should try it!
Laugh
Like your style. I myself have a 17 for such situations.
Do yourself a favor and install something for the door too, it's only going to buy you time to either: a) wake up and get your gun or b) keep your weapons safe while you're gone
I’m going sleep so much better knowing that door is safe
The intensity in those kicks, and that form too, chefs kiss

Man I guess the FBI can't blast through that door 😂
They still can with a gun shoot the lock
the vampire Since when did cops ever do that? 😂 That’s just a danger to themselves. It could ricochet.
@@dane.4216 it is not dangerous at all they do it all the time
Homeowner : nobody’s coming through that door.
Burglar : Alright , guess I’ll come through the window then.
Window bars then…
For those saying the criminal could just go through the window; shattering glass makes A LOT of noise. That's why they try the door first. Plus if the owner's at home, breaking a giant window just alerted them of an intruder and gave them ample time to grab their gun and come out the bedroom blasting!
So, kicking a door is quiet?
LMFAO NOT
@@DP-ot6zf Of course not, but if the frame gives way, it's a quick boom. Not as loud as shattering glass tho...its just a theory, I could be wrong.
@@zshakur If the frame gives way. Yeah. A quick boom. Sure. Thieves can just go up to doors and give them a simple push. In fact, I'm going to regularly push-test my doors from now on to make sure I'm safe. I wouldn't want to be caught off guard by a bad frame like the one in this ridiculous video. I hope my wall doesn't fall over.
@@DP-ot6zf Lol. Your sarcasm is mildly amusing.
or you just dont build wooden houses
sha1 the door will still be wood dumb ass
Yeah build it out of ur turd
Im Batman my door ain’t wood how is he a dumb ass
lol ikr mine isnt either this guy is a dumbass
you can buy steel /solid wood door ..@Im Batman
Why didn’t they say before they kicked down the door: FBI OPEN UP
OK, First of all have a substantial reasonably heavy gage metal door and frame. In sane states and cities they have fire code doors and frames. Second it's true, MAKES USE you have at like 16 or 18 3" or more stainless steel screws securing the frame ( what construction guys call the "buck" to the house frame. Use THREE strong hinges on the door..
Then, PLACE A STRUT TYPE LOCK (A "FOX" TYPE LOCK) OR A 2 X 4 WOOD BEAM FTOM THE FLOOR AT LEAST 3 FEET BACK FROM THE DOORS BOTTOM TO THE INSIDE LOCK AREA.....
Then, place a good proximity detector or a good vibration sensor and connect it to a loud alarm bell or speaker INSIDE the door AND have some other sounding device in a reasonably near but separated window or side of building!!!!
You want axstrong fireproof door
Like FDNY level standards, AND you want a night STRUT device
AND you want a good LOUD alarm that senses a potential intruder when he is too close t o the outside of your door or house perimeter AND of course you want an EFFECTIVE firearm that you have gone for EFFECTIVE training
