I guess anything better than standard off-the-shelf hardware is an improvement. My research lately keeps coming back to "Door Armor" brand for anyone actually serious about hardening doors, frames, locks etc.

Harden all you want. A free rock from the street is going to defeat anything you spend money on. You're not going to armor up your windows.

Better plan is to make your home less of a target. Invest in cameras (they will generally move to the next house without cameras), lighting, and proper landscape.

Thanks - i'd probably do both.

I think this one is more or less for kids not opening door. But secondarily helps weak kicks.

most kicks would be right around middle/lower part of the door.

Somewhere I saw the recommendation to install this right above or below your deadbolt. However, at that height, a kid can easily lock you out if you step out to get something.

That is assuming someone lives in a regular house though. Especially for townhouses with alleys and apartments with the only easy access being the door this could still be very useful.

On another note: Amazon is really looking to sell Amazon Basics versions of every product aren't they?

We must be idiots! How could we forget that houses have windows? Thieves can easily break a window to get in, right? Well, yes it is true (not the idiots part) that thieves can break windows to get into your house. It is also true that it is much easier to get in through a door. Breaking glass makes a lot more noise than kicking in a door and there is a much greater chance for thieves to get cut or caught coming in through a window. That is why 85% of break-ins happen through a door. If you still think it makes no sense to secure your doors because you have windows, we suggest leaving your doors open or unlocked. We'd also suggest not fastening your seatbelt, brushing your teeth or eating vegetables.
BTW, they have a price mistake on the sliding door lock [doorarmor.com] making it free, but shipping kills that deal unless you order other stuff to get to the $99 free ship threshold.

They really are, and it's usually just a rebrand, but Amazon tends to actually stand by them when they break or don't perform as expected in my experience. I kinda feel like it's cheating, but it's also a way better experience, conflicted slightly.

I'm a fan of AMZN basics. They are more trustworthy than some no name brand and are more likely to stand by the product. Their buyers are less likely to buy total crap and put the AMZN name on it.

What they don't tell you is the majority of that 85% percent comes from an unlocked door.

Lock your doors and windows (don't leave windows open at night). Its like the concept of The Club for your car. It can be defeated in a minute. But the thief will probably just go to the next car.

If all your windows are on the second floor go ahead and buy this. If not you are delusional.

There are many ways to secure windows in addition to using products like this on doors. But even if you leave your windows as potential weak points, why not further secure your doors?

We replaced our store windows with plexiglass. Our security system video of the guy trying to throw a brick through a window and having it bounce back and hit him in the head was hilarious...

What was the cost? I was thinking of that for 1st floor windows and sliding door but can't be cheap or look as good as real glass?

The cost for plexiglass for 10' store windows was insane, in the thousands each, but we got a break on insurance and eliminated the smash'n'grabs - so it was well worth it.

Speaking of insurance, the more we secured our building, the lower our rates went so many of the improvements quickly paid for themselves. Not sure how much that would affect residential, but is something you might want to talk to your agent about.
