Door Kick-In Prevention And Repair
If you have ever been the victim of a burglary, you know how unnerving the experience can be.
And that concern doesn’t go away overnight! Unfortunately we can’t heal all the trauma associated with the experience, but we can help provide you with a little peace of mind!
A common method of attack used by burglars is to kick in the door. This is a very fast way to gain entry to a residence due to the cheap locking hardware frequently used in residential construction.
When a door is kicked in, what usually happens is the jamb is broken out at the location of the strike plates. This is where the latch on your lock enters the door jamb. These strike plates are often only secured into the jamb with 3/4” screws. This means it requires surprisingly minimal force to to split out the trim and have the door wide open!
The video below demonstrates a product that can not only prevent a kick-in attack, but can also usually repair a door jamb after it has been split out. Not only does it repair the jamb, it makes the jamb much stronger than it was before the intrusion!
