When I found this awesome video tutorial by Home Repair Tutor, on YouTube, that described how to reinforce and burglar-proof your entry door, it really gave me peace of mind. if you just have an ordinary lock, your door can easily be kicked in and someone could get away with your stuff in a few minutes. This video describes how to install a great product called the Easy Armor Door Reinforcement Kit available at most hardware stores and is very easy to install. This kit consists of reinforcements for all moving parts of your door. There are long plates that go over the hinges, the door strike plates, and the actual door itself. With this secure mechanism in place, the door cannot be simply kicked down.
Materials For Securing An Entry Door:
- The Easy Armor Door Reinforcement Kit (Lowe’s has them)
- The kit comes with long screws (but, you may want a few more)
- A Drill
- A pencil
- A yardstick (or measuring tape)
Directions:
In this awesome video tutorial by Home Repair Tutor, on YouTube, you will learn to install a highly efficient door reinforcement in a few easy steps. There are big reinforcement plates that fit over your hinges. The screws are super long, so they are not coming out.
