Hi all,

I repair a number of low income rental properties. In recent years we've
experienced an uptick in tenant violence towards the rental units. We
are getting interior door "holed" and mangled and main entry doors are
getting kicked in and the hinges occasionally get bent (maybe swinging on
the door?).

We've been replacing the kicked-in entry doors with the "steel" doors at
Lowes and Home Depot. Unfortunately, these light duty doors simply
aren't strong enough.

Anyone know of an industrial strength steel door for reasonable dollars?

I'm not the owner.

I'm a repairman and really don't like throwing money away on junk
materials. I do agree with your view on demonrats tho :-)

Well in that case go with very inexpensive doors. They are only going
to be destroied any way and let the owner pay you to replace them.

Look at it as buying Harbor Freight paint brushes to apply tar to the
roof. Cheaper to throw them away than to buy the cleaner for good
brushes.

The cheap fake steel doors are a big part of the problem because labor is
so expensive. I'd rather fix it once with a heavy duty door than replace
it 2 times in 5 years.

I've got far more work than I can handle.

Industrial strength and reasonable don't work well together. Then there
is the problem that if the door is really strong it will probably tear
the framing out when the cops his it with the ram.

The police are not kicking the doors. It appears to be a problem with
family members locking each other out. Same with the interior doors.

No police reports are ever filed as far as I can tell.
