Front Door
 

Does anyone know how to strengthen a double front door. It is held in place
on one side with a bolt from the top and on the other side, just the lock.
Had heard that it would not hold in high wind. Can't figure out how to
reenforce it.

add a bolt on the bottom. Mine has bolts top and bottom plus the lockset.

Would have to be heck of a wind.

In addition to the top and bottom bolts that SQL recommended, you
might look up astragals.
