Yeah, right people wanna Cliff Claven it to death.On the doors in the house I used 1/4" angle iron that is against the back of the door frame. Had to router a step in the trim to hide it. There is also a 1" metal tube the deadbolt slides into. Someone would have to try significantly harder to kick those doors in. Which I have always wondered why they try to kick a door in when a window is much easier to get through.

A 3/4” steel plumbing nipple about 8” long fits a dead bolt bolt perfectly and I believe its a 1-1/8” bit needed to make the hole for the nipple into the studs. Careful placement is a given but I have done it several times.You do know that one good kick will prove that is no stronger with the long screws...right ?
