Door frame design in America is a joke. Israel is much better. In the US I would add a small channel iron to both the door and the frame to spread the bolt to more of the frame.

And in the back of the door you can drill a series of 1/2 holes down the door frame, and screw in short lag bolts with the heads sticking out the back of the door where it closes into the frame, with the bolt heads insetting in the holes you drilled like the posts in a bank vault door. It greatly increases the hinge side strength.

In Israel this is done with steel frames, and door bolts that are much stronger, and also come out the top and bottom opening side of the door. You don’t kick in Isreali doors.

It’s also be difficult to kick-in a door that opens outward, instead of inward. I remember in my travels thru many towns in Europe, in the 80s, many homes’ doors opened outward and I never heard of any being kicked-in.

Ironically, since the Israeli's are as well armed as they are, there probably aren't a lot of door-kickers over there.
