When I said prime line U I meant the one seen here(I also linked to it in my original post), the kind that goes around the locks...so you are saying a steel door doesn't really have any more strength than a regular fiberglass door. Or should I just use a security plate like this
No its not a steel frame, but I do plan on reframing it so its got solid wood, 5 inches deep, all around the jamb, and then using 4" screws everywhere I can.
I know without spending serious money I'm not going to have a totally "kick proof" door, but yes, I want a door that will be harder to break into, especially with a pry bar or without drawing serious attention to oneself.
Whats the best way, for the money, to achieve that?
And is there an upgrade to your basic deadbolt that doesn't cost a ton that installs the same way? Or can you recommend a good one?
Oh, I'm sorry, didn't realize all "prime-line" products were prime-line U + model number...but I did link to it in my original post.
Or should I just go with a security plate, like this
Basically I am asking if using a steel door, should I forgo reinforcing the door at all and just focus on the jamb? with something like this, and would that be good enough or should I spring for the Door Armor MAX kit
