All doors should be solid core in construction or metal clad. Hollow core doors are easily kicked or battered in. All door frames should be solid in construction and firmly attached to the house structure. If any doors have hinges ont he outside, they should be replaced with nonremovable hinges (available commercially). All outside doors should have securely mounted deadbolts or rimlocks. A deadlock with a one-inc- h throw is difficult to pry or jimmy. An intruder can break any glass within 40 inches of the lock, reach it and open the lock.

" This will prevent entry even if the lock is picked or broken. A less desirable option is to wedge a wooden rod, (a broomstick for example) into the bottom track.
