Unintentional Hilarity
So I'm working on a volunteer project (which is seriously hampering my DOOM prep) and every year we repair a jacked up house for a different crippled old lady. This time, among other things, her door has been kicked in. I did some time as a finish carpenter in college, so I've put in doors from scratch, but haven't necessarily repaired them. So I went to the ultimate source of correct information....youtube. I came across this video, and you really just need to watch it to see why its funny. humor really gets moving around 2:01, but the set-up is good too.

This guy is obviously an ex HS or college football player, keep hitting, meat. But I think even most football players would take notice of the open glass door right next to the front door.

A solid door-frame, and a matching solid door, are of course a very good start. But they wanna get in, they'll still get in, perhaps not as easily, but using an axe or crowbar or the like.
Over here, if you wanna secure your door against being broken down, secure it well enough for the insurance company to be happy, this sort of thing tends to be top of the list:

Mounted on a solid door, and walls, these things will withstand even battering rams and the like. Also all those other tricks like forcing the door off of it's hinges. Close as you are likely to get to a solid steel bar across your door. Fire department don't like 'em, I hear.
Red buttons are quick release to secure the door in a hurry, if you gotta. Can be unlocked from the outside. The cylinder is, of course, in that bar and not the door, so inaccessible to begin with, otherwise tamper protected, too.

If there were absolutely anything to be afraid of, don't you think I would have worn pants?

DG, over here we just shoot em. But since I'm already fixing a jamb, I looked for options. Besides, if I'm going to go medieval with the crossbar, I'd rather put in a draw bridge.

When I have a house of my own there will be a "water feature" you know, like a garden fountain kind of thing, six feet deep, ten feet across surrounding the whole house filled with fucking lava and alligators, fucking FIRE PROOF ALLIGATORS!
