Thank you for this video. I had an attempted break-in several years ago. The would-be thief mangled my front door, but the three-inch screws prevented entry. That didn't stop him from gaining access through the side entrance into my garage. Luckily, my security alarm blared, and the thief took off without getting into my home. I replaced both front and side doors and installed high-security deadbolts.
I would like to see a video on how to seal doors so that you don't see those horrible gaps between the frame and door. You can see light coming thru the gaps on all of my exterior doors. And thank you for this video. I am going to do this to my doors this summer.
That's a great question. I'd like to see a video on that as well.
Same!!
I just started a new channel called everyday Fix Master, where I do all kinds of home repairs. I can make a video in a few days showing how to close those gaps in exterior doors if you like?
@@therandom1738 Yes please. I would really like that. 👍 Edit: I just found your new channel and subscribed.
Agreed, that's a terrible entry door not because of the lock, but the huge gap between the door and jamb. You can almost look through it.
I would also chisel the strike plate, to make it look more finished. Good job.
I like the idea that the strike plate has screw holes on the side. Sometimes the vertical screw holes are worn. Thank you. 👍
I’m glad I could be of help! 🙏🏽👍🏽
I rented a house once that didn't have a stud behind the door frame. I took the door apart and added a stud because the frame could be flexed and just let you open the door, even with the deadbolt thrown
To tighten up things more, you can put 3" screws in place of two of the hinge screws too.
thank you sir!!! this helps alot and keeps a safety mindset.
Thank you for sharing this. I do like the first part, the second cover is kind of an eyesore on nice decorative doors though.
Should the new striker on the door jamb be relieved about 1/16” so that it is flush? I would think that should solve any clearance problem that the plate on the door might create.
Great idea and great video as always. Thanks for sharing.
Great information going to share with my family
I remember old public housing having steel door frames & concrete walls. Built in the late 60's & still standing.
Thank you. 👍🏻
Thanks!
Very good indeed.
Thank you! 🙏🏽😊
My local lumber yard sells a 4 5 6 in #8 structural screws that fit hinges and trike plates flush. These are what I call crackhead screws and most doors I repair have almost no wood left in the jambs so nothing like going all the way through the stud pack. I recently had a door similar setup with all 6in screws in the hinges the portland or police/swat contacted me asking me what I did to an apartment door (apartment maintenence) to make it that hard to break down. They ended up taking a gas powered rescue hot saw cutting a hole in the middle of the door. Complement I guess? One thing I do on my personal door is put one of thoes door reinforcement plates thick 3/16s one behind the strike so it has 2 steel peices sandwiched. You can use old hinges and reinforce the hinges behind the floor frame under the trim as well. None of this cost alot but will make your door far harder to get into than even this video put out there.
I didn’t know your my fellow Bremertonian! I used to live there and Silverdale. Now I’m in San Diego. Good content bro!
Don't forget 3 inch screws on the hinge side too.
👍👍
Is it just me or does it look like there is too much light coming through the right side of the door that has the locks on it? How much space should be between the door and the frame?
No worries, it’s just room foe weather stripping 👍🏽😊
@@FixThisHouse Once weatherstripping is on, should there be any light showing through?
For us the issue with the 3” screws is that our front door has side lites on each side, we can barely use 1.5”screws
Move em, the thief loves u
Side lites run the length of the door, yes?
@@GinaKayLandis pretty much yes
Not pretty but timberlocks/headlocks I've had many a block buildings that we needed to reinforce a door but almost no meat maybe 1.5in? So short structural lags
I think weather stripping would be your bigger issue
I noticed that as well. I have the same issue with my weather stripping. When its cold out side its freezing by my front door
funny the first video of yours i watched was replacing the shattered door frame
But the distance between the deadbolt and the knob is not standard. How can this be universal?
Most prehung doors I’ve seen come with the knob holes pre drilled, but not the dead bolt. If you want to add a deadbolt use the security plate as a template.
In the US last few decades the distance is standard, but there are exceptions of course as you point out. This only works with the most common configurations.
Why don't house owners install a metal door, and a metal door frame?
Good ideas for this day and age. However I don't think I would put the large plate on my front door, def on other entry doors.
I have a decorative door set with side window. Door screws go into narrow door frame between the doir and side window. Can't use 3 in screws. The locksmith told me that burglars would just break the window and turn the door lever. These doorsets are very common. Pretty but poor security. Ideas?
There was enough space between the door and jamb not to have to mortise the catch. On most installs there isn't that much space so you may have to mortise the double catch into jamb.
Do you think metal plate reinforcements work well? The kind you lock from inside.
If you can see that much daylight when the door is closed the door stops are installed wrong. Why didn't you countersink the strike plates? How about changing out that pot metal dead bolt for one that can't be sawed off?
Don't you get it? He is selling. He is a seller.
Doors are only as strong as the nearest window
Thats a wide gap on that door, talk about bad installation!
Guess the homeowners don't worry about heating/cooling costs 🤡
Doors should open outward. It's harder to break in and if there's a fire it's easier to get out.
How many houses have you seen where a main entrance door opens outwards? Commercial buildings yes, most places its a law.
Sawzall or pry hinges when there exposed makes it easier to break in. Heck I've seen portabands chew through exposed hinges with little noise
why is there a gap on your entry door omg
It’s there if you want to put weather stripping
@@FixThisHouse ngl it looks like a third world thing. i've never seen a entrydoor with a gap in Portugal or switzerland. they're completly sealed
This is the reason why you should build your house using steel studs and refuse from wood studs. Professional burglars use lock picking or flipper zero - door reinforcement is useless.
The best way to protect against burglars is to force burglars to make as many as loud noise during opening door. One of example is long crossbar... but again it requires at least one steel stud near door in your wall. It is impossible to protect against burglars in house with wood studs because all structure is mechanically weak.
Steel doors are great conductors of heat and cold.
@@dhawkr.3678 And? Windows are great conductors of UV. Air is great conductor of respiratory infections. Toilet is great conductor of colon bacteria.
@@dhawkr.3678 ARE YOU STUPID OR SOMETHING? he is talking about one thing, and you are talking about another. Helloooo.
Nah , nothing works. If thieves are going to break in they will no matter how secure you think your home is .
The only security are two big dogs inside home like Pitbull, Doberman or German shepherd, alarm, camera and a a big gun.
Garbage. this is just a seller. Door frame should be metal, no wood. Wasting money and time.
