...Hint to the SWAT team trying to use the ram on my doors...

Well, that's encouraging! I see the forge came in handy!

I redrilled the door frames for 6” grade 8 lag bolts. I have 1 1/2” angle aluminum re-enforcing the hinges and lock plates. Dead bolts are not the little 1” throw bolts, but Grade 1 commercial security bolts. Both front and rear doors are wood cored steel security doors.

Not paranoid... There was literally a sale at the local hardware/builders store so I went for the upgrades.

The Master Suite downstairs has a solid Red Oak door, steel hinges and an upgraded door lock. Still working on getting some of the others replaced... but other things have come up as priority. My upstairs office though has a tempered glass lattice work door with a Middle Earth map/poster taped over the glass.

Still need to demo and redo the upstairs bathroom. Should be fun. Yes, really. I enjoy doing that kind of thing...
