Chris,

Thanks for reply. I was hoping to hear from someone like yourself who
had put the deadbolt down lower on the door.


Why not go all the way, and put one that drops a pin into the
threshold, and another that puts one up into the header?
Then you can install metal brackets on either side,
and drop a (tastefully decorated) 2x4 across the doorway.
