My garage has a back door with a proper lock but I've noticed the door itself has a lot of play - even a gently nudge at the bottom corner can move it and I think one good shove would be enough to get in.
It's an inward-opening door made of 1" thick vertical boards with horizontal bracings top/middle/bottom. Lock is about 2/3 of the way up so a lot of leverage to the bottom corner.
It doesn't need to be a bunker but I would like an intruder to have to put some effort (and make some noise) getting in, and for it not to be so obviously flimsy.
Clearly a lock top/bottom would be a big improvement but seems a faff to get multi-point locking - even my house front door just has a regular lock but the door is thicker and the lock is half-way up for reduced leverage.
In terms of expense/work VS effectiveness, what are some options? Break-ins are not expected so it's perhaps more a peace-of-mind thing. Do insurers normally make specific requirements on out-building security or as long as it requires forcible entry is that enough?
