5 Ways to Instantly Improve Front Door Security

A home invasion will change your life for the worse in countless ways. Aside from potentially losing your treasured valuables, an attack also poses a physical threat to you and your family members. Making matters worse is the fact that you will live in fear of another home invasion from that point forward. 

The United States Department of Justice reports more than two million homes are invaded each year. Furthermore, 60% of all sexual assaults occur during home invasions. There is a common misconception that suburban homes are comparably safe. However, there are nearly 5,000 burglaries in suburban spaces per 100,000 inhabitants in both suburban and metropolitan areas alike.

There are steps you can take to make your home more secure, and it starts with your main entrance. Utilize these five tips to improve your front door security and keep your family safe from invasions.

1) Install an Impact Door

Improving front door security does not have to zap your budget. As an example, the installation of an impact door, featuring burglar-repellant features, will make it quite difficult for thieves to breach your home. These unique doors are specifically designed to safeguard property against burglars as well as debris from severe weather.

Impact doors utilize frames comprised of reinforced steel or vinyl layers that significantly reduce the chances of a blunt force break-in. Furthermore, the glass panes on these doors contain an inner membrane that ensures the glass remains fully intact when force is applied. They may splinter, but shattering will take more time than the average burglar will want to spend. 

The sturdiness of these impact glass designs is similar to the way a car windshield reacts when force is applied.

2. Fortify the Door Hinges

If your front door’s hinges are weak, it will be that much easier for a burglar to loosen the door and gain access to your home. Door hinges should not be reliant upon those short yet commonly used ΒΎ-inch screws. 

These screws are not large enough nor strong enough to endure considerable force. If the screws loosen, the doors will start to bind. Replace the current screws with 3-inch screws, and you will sleep soundly at night. You only need to replace the screws that are near the frame center as opposed to those near the door frame edge.

Alternatively, you can add a security hinge highlighted by tamper-proof pins along with a locking tab. Another option is to add a finishing screw on one side of the hinge, so it moves a quarter-inch more in-depth for even more security. 

Just be sure to slightly drill the receiving hole so when the door closes, the finishing screw and hinge engage with one another. This approach ensures that the door cannot be removed if the hinge pin is taken off.

3. Mind the Deadbolt Lock

The front door should have a deadbolt lock. This lock should completely extend to the door-jamb opening and reinforced even more with the use of a metal strike plate. 

Furthermore, the bolt should not have exposed screws on the exterior. The installation of an exit-only deadbolt, also known as a dead-lock, will undoubtedly help fortify your home against a potential intruder. 

Such locks come without a keyhole on the outside, meaning they are locked/unlocked from inside of the house.

4. Consider a Portable Barricade 

Portable barricades are temporary devices that can be put in place surprisingly quickly. As an example, a door jammer, door lock brace, or master lock security bar will help stop the door from opening. 

The lock brace slides below the door, wedging it closed, ensuring a burglar cannot access your living space. 

5. Reinforce the Door Lock

A reinforcement of the door’s key lock will make it that much more difficult for a burglar to access your living space. Cylinder guards really will stop thieves from loosening the bolt. 

The addition of a solid strike plate around the area where the deadbolt moves into the door frame will also help secure your front door. Strike plates contain long screws that move to the studs around the framework of the door rather than merely just the frame alone, providing that much more security. 

Properly reinforce your front door, and a simple kick will not loosen or knock down the door. A burglar would need something similar to a battering ram to loosen a reinforced front door.

Learn More About the Benefits of Impact Doors

Impact doors might save your life. If you are even slightly concerned about your home’s security, it is better to be safe rather than sorry. Opt for an impact door, and you will sleep well at night, knowing everyone you love, and everything you value is well-protected. 

Learn more about the long list of benefits you’ll add to your home by installing impact doors for front door security!

Throw out the ugly 😡

Don’t wait any longer to elevate your cooking with the most talked about, most loved cookware the world has ever seen. 

This cookware set has sold out 10+ times (the limited-edition color for Crate & Barrel
sold out in under 5 hours!) and the bakeware has barely been in stock since its launch! (So glad I got mine December!)

You know how they say β€œEarth Day Is Every Day”? Well, that’s because you shouldn’t only think about swapping out your toxic cleaning supplies and pledging to use reusable bags only on Earth Day. That’s just one day a year and if we really want to be more eco-conscious, we need to make small changes every day towards caring for ourselves and the earth.

One small step you can take is investing in eco-friendly fashion. But where do you start?

A @jeltbelt! Not only are Jelt Belts designed sustainably, with comfortable, premium elastic that is made from recycled plastic bottles, they are also flat and don’t show under clothes! Best of all, they are completely metal-free and hypoallergenic. 

Finally a belt that fits great and doesn't pinch, dig, or slide up! I love it! Definitely a wardrobe staple.

I recently added the @DeltaChildren PerfectSize 3- I recently added the @DeltaChildren PerfectSize 3-in-1 Convertible Sink to my downstairs bathroom to make unassisted handwashing more accessible for my two youngest kids (ages 2 and almost 5). 

Our downstairs half bath is TINY but because of the compact size of the convertible sink, we managed to slide the sink in right next to our @NubyUSA potty. And yes, the bathroom door still closes! 

We have a faucet extender and step stool at the regular sink, but this has made handwashing a novelty for the boys since it's right at their level and right next to their potty. It's the perfect height for both my 2-year-old son AND my autistic son who is almost 5 years old (pictured). ♾️

It holds enough water in the upper tank for both children to wash and rinse their hands once each and the holding tank in the back for the gray water is easy to empty into the sink or toilet when they are done. If they just want to play with the water and their hands aren't actually dirty, I just pour the "gray water" back into the upper holding tank and let them play with it again to conserve water. (An important lesson and learning opportunity for Earth Week) πŸ’¦

In addition to being a great addition to a Montessori bathroom setup, you can also convert the Delta Children sink into a step stool and then use the upper part as a bath toy because it's shaped conveniently to sit on the side of the tub.

There’s no place like home. 🏠❀️

🚨STOP what you’re doing and read this! πŸ‘‡πŸ»

You know how they say β€œEarth Day Is Every Day”? Well, that’s because you shouldn’t only think about swapping out your toxic cleaning supplies and pledging to use reusable bags only on Earth Day. That’s just one day a year and if we really want to be more eco-conscious, we need to make small changes every day towards caring for ourselves and the earth.

One small step you can take is investing in eco-friendly fashion. But where do you start?

A @jeltbelt! Not only are Jelt Belts designed sustainably, with comfortable, premium elastic that is made from recycled plastic bottles, they are also flat and don’t show under clothes! Best of all, they are completely metal-free and hypoallergenic. 

Finally a belt that fits great and doesn't pinch, dig, or slide up! I love it! Definitely a wardrobe staple.

Read more about this belt in today's post on the blog! Link in bio.

I recently added the @DeltaChildren PerfectSize 3- I recently added the @DeltaChildren PerfectSize 3-in-1 Convertible Sink to my downstairs bathroom to make unassisted handwashing more accessible for my two youngest kids (ages 2 and almost 5). 

Our downstairs half bath is TINY but because of the compact size of the convertible sink, we managed to slide the sink in right next to our @NubyUSA potty. And yes, the bathroom door still closes! 

We have a faucet extender and step stool at the regular sink, but this has made handwashing a novelty for the boys since it's right at their level and right next to their potty. It's the perfect height for both my 2-year-old son AND my autistic son who is almost 5 years old (pictured). ♾️

It holds enough water in the upper tank for both children to wash and rinse their hands once each and the holding tank in the back for the gray water is easy to empty into the sink or toilet when they are done. If they just want to play with the water and their hands aren't actually dirty, I just pour the "gray water" back into the upper holding tank and let them play with it again to conserve water. (An important lesson and learning opportunity for Earth Week) πŸ’¦

In addition to being a great addition to a Montessori bathroom setup, you can also convert the Delta Children sink into a step stool and then use the upper part as a bath toy because it's shaped conveniently to sit on the side of the tub. 

Will link to the sink and potty in my stories! 🚽🚰

β€œUnless there is a Good Friday in your life, the β€œUnless there is a Good Friday in your life, there can be no Easter Sunday.”
- Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

β€œHe himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that, free from sins, we might live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.” - 1 Peter‬ ‭2:24‬ 

Let us not forget the significance of Good Friday. For on this day, Jesus was thinking about YOU!

We are already dreaming about going back to @story We are already dreaming about going back to @storylandnh! πŸ₯³πŸ€©

Last year we took our @wonderfoldwagon and it was a total game changer with five kids! (Especially our autistic son!) It made trucking all of our children around the theme park 100 times easier. 

I’m so glad I got the four seater wagon despite some people saying it would be too big. It has room for absolutely everything we need to take with us including a cooler full of food for our family of seven. 

I can’t wait to see all of the fun adventures we will have this summer with our Wonderful Wagon.
