Next-Level Door Protection That Will Blow Your Mind

[@oklahomahank2378]

American houses are built with light door frames and short screws. You can replace the door frame screws with long screws that will make it much harder to kick the door in.

[@algallego]

Harder? Yes. Impossible? No. Thin diameter screws are easily broken just the same-- maybe not with just a simple kick-in approach, but with other tools is still a possibility. Anyone determined enough to get through a doorway is not going to be held back by a few screws-- now the average mediocre thief, however, would likely give up the endeavor after soreness sets into his foot.

[@mlisaj1111]

Tell us you have never broke a door down without tellin us...​ the screws are not breaking or shearing... they are pulling out of the wood. 3 inch screws will make a door much harder to kick or ram in.

[@chefdeadpool8481]

What a lot of these door reinforcements forget is that the wall is still a viable way through. During ALICE training our A.S. pointed out that if he really wanted too, hed just go through the removable walls or the standard hollow walls in the class rooms...

[@rogerwilco2]

Only in North America are walls easy to get though because they build with the flimsiest materials possible. Most other countries, your walls are reinforced concrete or several layers of brickwork.

[@TheOminousVoidWispers]

@rogerwilco2 most other countries? Maybe German but that's about it. The majority of construction outside of the u.s. statistically is not as strong or built to set safety standards. Just the unregulated building in India and China alone put us far above the majority. And our standards are different the farther north you get becase of freezing temperatures. So not really close to the "flimsiest materials possible" you falsely claim. My house was built in the 40s and it's solid old growth timber framing. Learn some more about construction.

Have y'all ever seen the movie, R.E.D.? In it, Bruce Willis is breaking into a high security government area and when he reaches the final door that has a keypad lock, he simply punches through the drywall and opens the door from the other side. LOL And the best part is when he gets to where he wants to be--a document archive where there's a guy whose most helpful in tracking down the file he wants. Willis' sidekick asks the guy, "You're not gonna ask us for ID?" to which the dude responds, "Why? If you made it this far, you made past all sorts of security and if you somehow managed to illegally do that, I certainly won't be able to stop you." LMAO That was an extremely smart government worker.

[@blindshot86]

As someone who used to do legal break ins for a living, a lot of these are easy to bypass... The door may be secured, but the molding, frames, and material surrounding your door are weak af. They show the "burglar" trying to "break in, but they don't show the weak points. I'd love to see the screens tested with a tanto tip blade stab, a shotgun to the door handle/hinges, or when the guys are using the hammer to hit, turn it around and use the claws, lol. A majority are useless and a waste of money. They only provide you with a sense of security. If someone wants in, they're going to get in. Whether it be the door, garage, window downstairs, upstairs windows(most people don't lock those ones or they don't come with a lock and are easy to shatter and crawl through), or even a basement or attic access. If you want to be 100% safe, better shell out the cash for EVERY entrance. Also, almost every electronic lock made, can be hacked, and almost every mechanical lock can be picked(check out the Lockpicking Lawyer, btw. Great guy with great skills)

Electronic garage door hacking is impossible to protect against without making the openers and remotes much more complex. What the hackers do is roll around with various remotes all coded differently and keep pressing them until they find a door that's programmed to the same code. There is a very limited number of codes that the automatic openers use and with how many are out there it's highly likely that they'll find one with the same code.

[@paulfrank8738]

That's why I use a custom garage remote. I disable the radio for the remote on my garage door opener and connect its wired button connector to a Raspberry Pi. The Pi has a custom app that allows encrypted connections over WiFi.

They now prefer fire/flood 'safe' thicker gauge 'marine' outdoor 316 grade stainless steel on the security screen mesh. Screwdriver / box cutters won't phase it. Bullets, IDK. You could more easily warp the frame, so you need a lot of layers if someone's keen and has access to power tools. It does flex, but it's also significantly heavier. and pricier. It has Molybdenum alloy to prevent rusting in prolonged salt water exposure. There's also 445M2 grade, but it's not as easily welded into the mesh in bulk sheets. In areas with high fire risk, the heavier grade steel won't burn/melt before the aluminium frame does (sic).

[@JohnMartindale-f9y]

Well, the school door looks like an Awesome hack, However behind the door is probably the only safe place to be. Unless the walls are bullet proof as well.

[@IrlBandit]

As someone from Ireland, i find it extremely disconcerting and distressing to see that so many of these innovations seem to "naturally" target schooling complexes and without any real alarm but a given norm - what does that say about the society within which you live, whereby you need to plan for such events and not look at the cause of them? Have to say, i'm happy here in Ireland in knowing the fact that gun laws here are really really tight and 99% of this stuff is irrelevant - sad state of affairs if you ask me 😞

*The inventors of these products should test them with more force than door to door girls selling cookies*

[@Dan-jl5ej]

A couple decided to move back to the EU from the USA when they heard talks about how the school (where their child was studying) is supposed to spend some extra cash: On bullet proof windows! Are you Americans that BEEPEDUP?!

[@cargosquid]

Provia: shows battering ram on solid door. Makes glass doors.

[@Bnryzombie]

When the door becomes too secure, the walls are attacked. You can't secure anything. If you can make it someone can break it.

[@darinl848]

when i was little, a truck lost control and went through the wall of my bedroom. if someone wants in real bad, they will get in.

[@Rudeboui1620]

It's the. 22 long u have to worry about behind bullet resistant glass,the round that will get thru😂,may take a few bigger rounds but ur screwed when they use a .22 long later

[@timgray5763]

All of this would be good for businesses and schools also, Bank Vaults get robbed and bunkers have a way in. Locks are only to keep out Honest People n you can still cut right through the wall and almost any door with a hole or reciprocating Carbide saw.

[@NodramaNoProblem]

Very interesting 🤔

[@1akmason]

i want a front door that the bottom opens up into a giant wood chipper

[@nameless-og]

🤦‍♂️ .... me with a sledgehammer and 1 minute right beside the door 😂

[@mlisaj1111]

Of course…and most houses have things called windows, that break easily. But the purpose of these products is to make it harder, slower and noisier to get in - NOT that it’s impossible to get in. Even a windowless underground bunker with a 2-foot thick concrete blast door could be broken into with enough force. And…that would be annoying to live in.

[@davidm8997]

Do you even know what an "assault weapon" is?

[@fredbugden3511]

Fear and paranoia, keep preaching that.

[@basilfoster3107]

Some of the doors shown in this video have very weak locks that can be opened with a pair of pliers. The protection is only as strong as its weakest point.

[@StarDarkAshes]

This one was not explained at all, and this thing looks so stupid and so inconvenient. And it was just blown over in a heartbeat.

[@Haze-du7oz]

A teaser for the purge coming. Lol😂

[@danaeads919]

Plato - so bypass the front door and go through the thinner wall next do it.

[@kevinglennon2370]

It would be easier to blow a hole in the wall than try the door itself! Perhaps an RPG?

[@ThisPandaHere]

The intruder buster is a boobytrap, which are illegal

[@felisconcolori]

It all looks like neat and a way to harden an exit/entry. It appears that none of them address the simplest way to bypass every device shown, with the possible exception of the flow block. It's a bottle with gas and a rag stuck in it (there are enhancements, but this is YT). That's assuming you have some shady organization or person that is themselves indifferent to the continued well being of the occupants. Fire doesn't care how long your screws are. I guess the security theater of these devices make the installer feel safer; but the comments remind me of the XKCD. Impossible to break through high levels of crypto, but you never have to do that. If they need a code or want one, they can just keep hitting people with a wrench until they get the answer or run out of people to wrench. Still neat gadgets, though. Would be interesting to see how well the Lockpickinglawyer would do against anything with a keyed lock. Happy Veteran's Day. Or, hopefully, a quiet and reflective day thinking of the veterans that made it possible for you to have a garden party.

[@luh9ang798]

I like that second door that starts with a P made for a classroom. I think all schools that have that. 1:52 😊

[@vanamee692]

All of these products seem to have value, but there is no point in having a super strong door if the wall is not reinforced to be equally as strong. Thieves could break thru a wall easier than the door.

[@randomthoughts9463]

What about Bolt Buddy? Just wondering.

[@stainlessea]

YOU CUT THE DEMONSTRATIONS BEFORE THE DOORS ARE FULLY CLOSED SO THEY SHOW US ZILT !

[@craigr.h.laurent240]

Your background "music" is just too cute for a serious video. You do not need it.

[@quantumss]

You are so correct except "cute". Flat out irritating.

[@kittyokat13]

Except the brick walls on either side of that door? ARE easily knocked down. With just a car.

[@glen8271]

First door example is good to hide your mistress when your wife come back early.

[@kcgunesq]

Not that they don't have legitimate uses, i suspect the various metal screen products wouldn't do well against a battery powered grinder.

[@ForestTre]

Well, I am sure a lot of the stuff is amazing.The problem with it is so expensive.It's cheaper to own a gun because the pricing is designed to make it so only the rich can afford it.

[@deniseschulz1575]

Seen Canadian prepper on that last video!

[@adamdean2476]

Did he hire Daft Punk for his background music?
