[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3237629, member: 29706"] LOL, yeah I don't think someone will be kicking to easily either. The first thing I do when I move in is get some 6 inch screws and run them through the striker plate area as well as replace some screws on the hinge side. I also do everything I can to reinforce the jamb area without making noticeable modifications since I am in an apartment but my place is more secure than my neighbors. I am actually thinking about a nice hefty lag bolt that the deadbolt will strike against but can be hidden under the jamb is in order. The big plates that run the whole length are so thin they won't do a lot of extra and most of the time it's just little quarter to half inch screws into 3/4 pine. I get into the studs underneath the jamb. [/QUOTE]
