Hi, Can anyone advise how easy it would be to break in through these doors? They are pretty old but do have a multipoint lock and an extra key bolt thingy. Any tips much appreciated Cheers

Hi, So I guess it is the opposite of a crack, a line or ridge running down the wall. I have tried sanding it down and re painting but it re appears straight away. At first I just thought I wasn't sanding it enough so I sand it again until there is no ridge and re paint...but it comes back...
