Need door help?

Question

I was wondering if anyone knew of some doors that are super strong and provide the best security against kick ins because we need to replace a kicked in door.

Answer 1

I would go with a steel door. A well built steel door is by far the strongest. Here is an article by this old house tv show http://www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/article/...

I would also consider a steel storm door that looks decorative but is functional. Would be thieves would have to go through 2 barriers and it is also a good visual deterrent. If that's not an option, there are devices that mount to the floor inside of your home and you can remove it when you don't need it. It looks like a flat piece of brass with a peg that stick into the floor. I watched a show where someone tried kicking in the door with this thing in place. It held up and they could not get in. It is sold at the home depot for relatively cheap ($50 i think).

Answer 2

The best door would be a metal door you can buy metal doors at a local hardware store and they make them in various styles. you can also pay the extra money and purchase a metal door frame and that would make it very strong and less likely to be kicked in
