For those of you with experience with what security doors to buy and
not buy, what type of security door would you recommend?

I want something that someone cannot easily kick in, that at the same
time does not make the front of my house look like a prison.

We never leave our front door open, and so features such as a screen
and glass are "nice to haves" rather than "must haves". If we are
going to spend the money to install one of these doors, I want it to
actually be worth something in deterring a break-in.


Don't forget the frame, which is usually the weak point. Most frames
can be jacked and the door opened without leaving a mark.


And don't forget the new style of lock bumping which has made all
keyed locks totally obsolete and a moot point on doors.

The new 4" cordless chainsaws go right through walls in under a
minute, too, if someone wants in NOW!
