That is pretty scary. We put in a metal door with a reinforced frame several years ago. It at least gives you a couple of minutes to get to your weapon and dial 911.

That's actually on our "to do" list. We just had not gotten around to it yet.

At the very least, if nothing else, this thread should educate everyone that factory door frames are fixed by builders/contractors with only 3/4-1” screws, permitting this sort of forced entry.

Any locksmith (online sources, too) sell 3” screws to secure the hinges/strike plates to the STUDS and buys those precious seconds. It only costs about $12 and takes less than an hour of honey-do. Worse, it’s been reported recently that door/frame assemblies are being sold/installed with insufficient depth for the deadbolts, preventing full travel and, as a result, no latching.

Check your deadbolt travel and replace those screws, people.
