Need a door, help

[JiriHrdina]

Dude asked for help with something.
Not sure why anyone thinks the reasons behind that or what is happening is any of their business whatsoever.
Let's not start delving into each other's personal lives.
Hell MMF - you get really upset when people use your real name on this site. Why do you think this is onside at all?
And yes I'm discussing this publicly because I think this you are way over the line here.
Have some GD empathy.

Looks like you might have it sorted out but after my door was kicked in the Police recommended a Bolt Buddy. It reinforces the Jam and instead of having a your deadbolt held in place by 3/8" of wood it's sandwiched with some 1/4" steel plate. To kick it in you'd either need to sheer the deadbolt (not going to happen) or kick the plate through the jam (not going to happen).

Finally, and you've probably already been told this, the key to having your house secure is to make it look more difficult to break into than your neighbours. Bolt Buddys, Alarm Signs (fake or not), Dogs, etc. all tell the thief that your place is more trouble than it's worth and they should kick in your neighbours door instead.

I think you could find what you're after at Norome Building Supply as well, on Edmonton Trail.

Not bad easier than replacing the door too! My old door is crappy was planning on changing it anyways so I thought screw it I'll just throw up a strong door.

Had some guy walk into my side yard the other day snooping around, just some random guy from the main road, then he grabbed some big rocks and smashed my caregivers windshield.of course we hesitated to call 911 soon enough and the police just missed him. Last week a friends bike was stolen from my back yard, April a stolen motorcycle was ditched beside my house, February my truck was smashed and broken into.

Good lord, where on earth do you live? I haven't had that much stuff happen to me, ever, in the history of stuff happening to me. You definitely need a new door, like one attached to a new house. My friends old house was like this, lots of break ins, his and surrounding vehicles broken into and other just random acts of destruction. If course he was in a ####ty neighborhood and catered to lower element of society looking to purchase things of a nefarious nature.

Have you tried motion activated lights around the yard? Might be enough to startle people off.

update: recognized the guy walking by, called police, and they got him, at least he has a court appearance and a fine

[OMG!WTF!]

Kind of late here but Northern Hardware sells all kinds of steel doors. You can buy them through Timber Town if you want...kind of takes the timber out of timber town but whatever works.

[surferguy]

Going to Timbertown? - send PM to Bigtime!

Their website appears to be hosted on 1996-era Geocities

Anyone know if these can be bought locally not through a locksmith?

[kevman]

Home depot has similar style items that sandwich the door only but not nearly the same quality.

You can pick them up at any locksmith and install them yourself. Parry Bros, Aboe, Always Affordable, etc. all carry them in a bunch of different finishes for ~$70 each.

If it makes you feel better in the last year we've had a smashed car window, a stolen truck, a stolen bike and just last week a homeless guy sleeping in the backyard. That and a kicked in door a few years ago.
