Security Tip

 

A good home security tip that you may have never thought about.

Most contractors install the plates with the supplied screws which are only a half inch long and come out with one kick by a burglar. Install 4 inch screws in their place that go through the door frame and into the framing of your home this will make it harder to kick in.

You can see in the picture above the screw supplied with the door hardware.
