Believe it or not, most criminals break in to homes through the front door.  The reason is most residential doors aren’t strong enough to resist an attack.  The door jamb usually lacks the reinforcement necessary to resist a strong kick from a criminal.  This means even if you lock your doors, your home and family still aren’t safe from a determined onslaught.

Two weeks ago, I decided to do something about this by installing EZ Armor on both my front door and my garage door.  I’d spent some time researching these types of products and found that this particular product was the best one available for my house.  EZ Armor comes in a kit that reinforces the door jamp, hinges, and locks with powder-coated metal plates.  These are mounted with long screws that go into the frame of the house, which further reinforces the door.  Watch this video and see for yourself.

I liked it so much I decided to post a link on my website so visitors can order it.  If you have some time, check out the manufacturer’s website for more information too.  Its a great product from a company with a compelling story to tell so give it a look.

The last thing to keep in mind is that effectively hardening your home is multi-layered and has redundancy built in.  In upcoming posts in this series, I will mention how important locks, security systems, and lights are to your home’s security in addition to reinforcing the door jambs.  While there isn’t a single “magic bullet” that will make your house safe, there are several steps security-minded homeowners can take that will make their domiciles more resistant to home invasion.
