How to Reinforce and Burglar Proof Your Entry Door

Reinforcing your entry door and making it burglar proof may not be sexy but keeping your stuff and your family safe is a noteworthy cause.

This is Jeff from Home Repair Tutor and today I’m going to take you through my step-by-step process on how to do use the EZ Armor Kit to reinforce an entry door. Unfortunately almost anyone could kick open your front door because it’s most-likely secured with 1/2 or 3/4 inch steel screws. You can buy a kit from a home store like Lowe’s that stop burglars in their tracks-literally. This kit is easy to install and needs only a drill along with a screw bit and 11/64 inch drill bit.
