Too many doors are unsafe regardless of all your locks, yrs ago it was the bottom panel in a door, wooden, cut them out with a stanley. unless your'e in a rush, then one kick.

Today is plastic,panelled, same thing if noise isn't an issue.

First thing is a solid door, good locks, three of, plus bars of good quality for when your at home, a lot of people don't realise that some doors still go in because of poor framing around the door.

And after all that door security, there's just a piece of glass between me and your goodies.

Get a good alarm,especially if your'e remote, it's easier for all burglars to go for none alarmed houses.

The old 2XG with a panel at the bottom.

You are right about the frame. At one time it was common to put a car jack across the frame and jack it sideways until the door just swung open.

being serious,having an alram doesnt that show you have something worth nicking,ive heard of expanding foam being pumped into the bell boxes(if it can be reached),if someone wants to get in there get in.
years ago the old slinding patio doors used to be lifted off.
