Security Tip for Today - Have a deadbolt on any door that goes into the house. A deadbolt is always your strongest lock. Most common method of forced entry is simply to kick in the door. The weakest point is usually the lock strike plate. You should upgrade to a heavy-duty strike plate. Your deadbolt should have a minimum of a 1" throw into a strike plate with 2-2"screws but to improve strike plate security increase to plate with 4 -3" screws. This is a case in life where size really does matter.
