/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>1438860
From my experience forcing doors with professional equipment(halligan and axe) the idea is keeping the jamb as pry proof as possible. Criminals wont use a rabbit jack, i hope.

1. Anti pry plates.
A pry tool is most effective at or near the latch, so you can spread the frame. Ive forced doors with these, theyre cancer to work on, but it can still be done.

2. Fall bar. Bar that is places across the frame and has points where its held by the door and frame, creating a fuckhuge deadbolt. Can be defeated but with alot of noise and its difficult

3. Anti jimmy deadlocks. Ones that have the receiving latch on the frame or further and the bolt on the door. This makes it to where you almost have to rip the receiver from the wall, or rip down the wood its attached to, depending on how secure its fastened.

All this is only as strong as your door. Get a good solid metal door. Good locks and good pry plates. None of this shit matters if your door is thin and can be kicked straight through. Or if you cheap out and it all brakes with one pry.
