Vulnerable glass
The glass can be smashed and an intruder can just reach in and unlock the deadbolt lock and walk in.
Doors are made for entry, burglars included.
Improving the security of your doors can physically stop them from breaking in.

The glass can be smashed and an intruder can just reach in and unlock the deadbolt lock and walk in.
When kicked or shouldered on the lock side and if door jamb does not break, the door slab can split apart releasing the deadbolt lock.
When kicked or shouldered on the lock side, the deadbolt can split the thin wood frame. When attacked on the hinge side, the screws can pull out or the wood splits open.
Regular deadbolt locks are susceptible to bumping, picking, brute force torquing or smashing, drilling and copying of keys.

It is surprising how easily locks can be opened this way. Little skill is needed, it is fast and there is no indication of forced entry so insurance companies may assume that you left your door unlocked.
This method is not easy. There are tools and training available for people to learn how to do this. Like bumping, there is no indication of forced entry so you may have insurance claim difficulties.
By inserting a hardened tool or screwdriver, a locked can be torqued open with not much force. This can be done quietly.
This method is easy and fairly quick. Entry can be gained with basic tools such as wrench, pliers and a cordless drill,
A door system made from heavy gauge steel is not weak like those typically made from wood or fibreglass to truly resist burglars and home invaders.
Made entirely of heavy gauge steel plate welded together and internally reinforced with steel channels. This slab will resist brute force attacks. The interior and exterior visible surfaces are covered by a decorative skin with many colour, style and material choices .
The slab is connected to the door jamb (frame) via extra heavy duty hinges on ball bearings. The door jamb is 100% heavy gauge steel so it will resist kicking, shouldering prying unlike like wood and other weak materials. The jamb is then securely connected to the structure of the house with heavy duty anchors. Solid.
There are 7 long throw retractable deadbolts on the lock side that are operable by key externally or thumb-turn internally. 3 additional fixed deadbolts on the hinge side provide extra reinforcement. The deadbolts are spread out to distribute the forces of attack. An 11th hidden deadbolt can only be operated from the inside to allow you to partially open the door securely for a peek or lock-down your house when at home.
Commercial grade high security lock, keys and lock shield will resist bumping, picking, torquing, smashing and drilling attacks. With patented keyways (controlled availability of key blanks) and key control with keys registered to you, unauthorized key duplication is prevented.
