Front Door Security Home Invasions Dramatically On The Rise!

The FBI Says: “Every 12 Seconds a Home is Invaded
By Someone Simply Going Right Through the Door”

You hear about them on the news all of the time. The reason is simple. It’s the most lucrative, least risky activity of all for criminals. According to the lastest FBI statistics, only 12.4% of burglars are ever caught, charged and convicted. The lastest crime statistics on home invasions, burglaries and robberies in the United States are staggering…

* 6,088 Home Burglaries Per Day in the USA
* 70.3% of Burglaries Involve Residential Properties
* 67.6% of Burglaries Involved Forcible Entry or Attempts
* 38% of All Assaults Occur During a Home Invasion
* 60% of All Rapes Occur During a Home Invasion
* $4.6 Billion Worth of Property is Stolen Annually

Most home burglaries happen between 9 a.m. And 5 p.m. While most home invasions happen between 6 p.m. And 6 a.m. The reasons for this are quite easy. A burglar doesn’t want anybody home while they rob a house, but the premise of a home invasion is for the occupants to be at home so the intruder can extract valuable information from the occupants such as ; where the’real’ property are, account info, credit cards and pin numbers, car keys, and so on. And many home attackers have much more baleful thoughts in mind , such as physically or sexually attacking you or your loved ones ( 60% of all rapes happen during a home invasion ).

burglars gain entry most often By Kicking In Doors! .And that sure is a Fact.

Front Door Security The FBI claims [*CO]‘Every 12 seconds a home invasion occurs by somebody going right through the front or back door’. This happens in 73% of all break-ins and’door frame failure’ is virtually always the cause.

How frequently have you seen the police on those real crime television shows kick in doors? A lot, right? Well if a person in a police uniform can do it that easily, then why can’t a person in a thief outfit also do it that easily? The fact of the affair is, you do not need anybody to be in a position to gain access into your home that simply, if in any way.
Watch a number of these Door Kick-in Videos and see just how easy the average door can be kicked in.

Why Are Doors So easily Kicked-in or Forced Open?
Front Door Security door frame repair

It all boils down to one vital design issue and it’s found on virtually each exterior home door entryway. Most exterior doors, hinges, deadbolts and door locks are reasonably powerful. It’s the WOODEN DOOR FRAME also known as the door jamb that’s the weakest area. Front Door SecurityThese soft woods can’t resist the force of a 1/2′ to 3/4′ solid steel deadbolt stem being tremendously forced against them as happens when a door is kicked or’shoulder slammed’. The most efficient, most cost effective solution is to install a metal door frame reinforcement device that extends well above and below the strike plates on the door celebrity. This way you have steel holding steel rather than wood holding steel.

In the picture below, notice the typical short, small diameter brass screws that are on most door strike plates. They supply little support aside from simply holding the metal strike plate on the door frame.

two. Notice the thin, weak, decorative softwood trim that the strike plate is mounted on. 3. 4. It’s LESS THICK THAN the person’s fingernail is long! That’s ALL that’s protecting your home AND it’s just soft wood!
Front Door Security
Now go look at your exterior doors and probably you will have this precise same situation. Therein lies the 1 problem that you must correct or you, your folks and your home remain fully vulnerable to trespassers.
