Real post this time.

Doing this could save you from a bad situation. The latch on your door hooks into the metal piece on the door box and that is what is holding your door. The screws that come with the metal piece are very short and one kick to the door could break it easy. Replace those screws with long deck screws and your door will be a LOT more secure and harder to get through. I am doing this and encourage everyone to do this with your front and back doors.

I do not understand why those screws are so short. A locking knob is little good if one decent kick sends the door in, you would think someone who makes door knobs would have put this together.

Good idea thanks track.

Also a good tip is to keep a nail gun by the front door and aim between the legs if they try to break in...be sure to get their address after to send the bill for the new door too.
