Do you know why most bedroom doors are hollow core? Because these doors are the cheapest ones available. And probably if you have to go and buy a door to replace a damaged door, you will probably buy another hollow core door. So let’s be real honest about this point. Solid core doors are nearly always an MDF core. Solid wood core doors are only installed in very high end homes that the original owner would have specified such doors, and paid a premium price for that upgrade.
You can replace your doors. I did, because hollow core doors really look cheap. No door is going to keep someone out forever, but a more robust door would slow someone down. @olebrumme6356
@bigk4755 And your point is actually what, in reference to this video? One might have colonist hollow core throughout the entire home, but could install a solid wood colonist door, such as an alder or oak on their bedroom. Even his video showed, the door frame can fail, but you’re trying to buy time. Security isn’t free, and one can make simple choices to their home that are not going to break the bank.
Keep in mind that most door jambs have 3/4” pine with a gap to the double 2”x4”s that make up the frame. That will take 1” to 1.5”s of your 3” screw. I highly suggest using 4” screws instead of 3” screws. Make sure they are of sufficient diameter as to not twist the head off while screwing them in. Might even need to drill a pilot hole to the full depth the screw goes… The thinner screws might actually break the head off when the door is kicked as well.
You tested it on a exterior metal door. Try the test again on a thinner interior hollow core door, and strike it below or above the Doorricade. You'll punch through like it's cardboard. This is a very misleading test, which will give people a false sense of security. You should've mentioned that your bedroom door should at least be a solid core door, and preferably metal.
Remember guys. Given enough time anything can be broken in to. What you are trying to do is give yourself sometime to either call for help or arm yourself and by adding another layer of resistance make it even more difficult for an intruder to have to endure. Thats all these things are. They are great at adding extra levels of deterance but dont ever be fooled that this or any other layer of security is definetly not gonna let someone in or have a theif break into something.
For those commenting in certain setups things like this may just slow them down, so what ? That's better than the door blowing open with one kick as you're sleeping and you have a split second to orient and figure out what to do or arm yourself . A few seconds or more can save your life . Most the time its going to be some dude using his legs or shoulder .
A lot of critiques. The thing that raised my eyebrows was at 4:29. Like many homes today, the door has glass windows next to the door. Can't help but think bad guys would target a home with this type of build. Wouldn't be difficult at all to break the glass and defeat the device. Mr G Lock and I will be waiting if it occurs while I'm home, and after they've entered far enough, they will receive center mass lead poisoning. I live in a Make My Day state. With video evidence, I don't think I would have much to worry about if the bad guy's estate lawyer wanted to try to make a case against me. Hope y'all enjoy the Big Birthday Party coming soon. Tks for sharing an entertaining video. Like I always say... Take care Stay SAFE and Protected. The 2A Protects and Guarantees the Rest.
With a bit of engineering know-how, you could probably design something to make that possible. But realistically, if someone is willing to try and use a battering ram to break in, they would also likely just enter through a window which is obviously much easier. So this would have no practical effect if you were on vacation.
Any delay, even a few seconds, can be important. This buys time to ready and use defensive tools, and/or call for help. I typically carry paracord and look for ways to string across a door or hallway. Even forcing someone to crawl under, or cut a string buys time. It might even confuse the threat and make them realize you aren't a soft target.
A few years ago I had cops trying to kick in my door over a misdeminor failure to appear warrant over a charge thats gonna result in civil rights violation charges against everyone involved but I digress, when the coos tried to kick in my door it gave me enough to time decide what I wanted to eat, cook it, eat & call my cousin to let her know that I was about to be arrested which all took about 2 hours before I came outside willingly.
You could look at getting optical plexiglass fitted to both doors (will also help greatly with heat/ cold temperature modulation). Would slow them down for awhile. Windows, too. Or, get a metal security grate to go on the outside or inside - for windows, too. Can get fancy ones. Nothing will work 'forever", though. Criminals always seem to find a way to get what they want.
@@bearseatsheep I wish I could have a German Shepherd or a Rottweiler. I'm not sure I could handle either one at this stage in my life, but it's a very good suggestion at any rate!
So... This is mounted to a doorframe... in an American house made of cardboard and high hopes, which (before the hate comes) you proved to be right by dislodging the doorframe with just a few hits with a ram. And based on the standard carpenting practices I've seen on YT, is one of the sturdier applications out there. Realisically speaking, it's not a safe room, more like "gives you enough time to grab a shotgun if you keep it under your bed" room. Still a huge advantage since I presume a regular burglar would not even bother to enter and wake you up, but don't sell it as a safe room solution since it's far from it.
The "Defender" works the same way, it attaches to the door hinge and just one can withstand 800lbs of force, I got a 3 pack off Amazon. And if you want to you could attach one to each hinge of the door and come out with more cash in pocket. Although, this guy has a good security tool, I'm just one who's very frugal with my money lol. Not "knocking" his product at all!!! 👍
All well and good for regular stick built homes, have yet to see ANY manufacturer make something for mobile (manufactured homes) . Which many people can't afford ,to buy stick built homes!
Most hinge and latch plate screws only anchor into the thin, softwood door frame. The door frame (usually near the latch plate) will break with one good kick or shoulder hit. Replacing both latch plate screws, and at least one screw per hinge with 3 1/2 to 4 inch screws will connect the metal plates directly to the structural wood around the door. The cost is minimal, the look is the same, but the door becomes significantly stronger. Plus, all you need to do is lock the door and close it normally. This won't stop a threat forever. The door itself will eventually break, but it will buy some time. There's no reason not to "long screw" every door that might be used as a barrier. I also like to carry some paracord a when I travel. I look for ways to string across doors and make them harder to open. I may even string a hallway if it's possible. Even forcing someone to crawl under a cord buys several seconds that might matter. A forced pause and crawl can also create a vulnerable moment to deploy pepper spray (or more serious tools).
I have one on each door, that enters my home. I have what I call gangstalkers that open this in less than one minute. Not a break in, they use a homemade device to move the little swivel lock thing. Then they have a lever on the device that lifts the bar and they’re in. They even use it in reverse and get out like nothing happened. But I know they do this because I was up at 2 am, heard them approaching the front door and watched them open it in less than a minute. Big waste of money.
Excitement meant with disappointment. Literally a 2x4 and a deck joist bracket could do the same janky installation for a lot less. A product like this should be hidden when not in use and work for leased housing. Having a heavy dresser beside the door is still a better option and fixes the hollow core door issue
Jason, you should learn to use the leval bubble on your drill driver drill ,you were way too high in the back and could strip out the heads of your screws !😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Not able to get in, because he stopped trying when the door assembly was pending failure. Estimated time to breach: 10 seconds. And that is for a steel entry door. A hollow core passage door? Typical bedroom door? Less time. But hey, he was a CIA officer and author. I knew a guy 25 years ago that put a steel frame steel entry door on a room in his house where he kept his guns. The thieves just busted out the drywall next to the door and went straight through to take around $100K worth of firearms, cash, gold, and silver. They never touched the door.
Since I have no money for that I put a hard wood stick a cross my door in the floor incrustársete in to huge arch nails no one can brake in tho that I do it for my yard door
wouldn't do anything for bedroom doors... the hollow bedroom doors would break right around the bar. A food or fist would go right thru a bedroom door.
Judging by your complete lack of knowledge and skill in kicking a door and using a ram, I highly doubt you have ever “trained” anyone in anything. This was so very sad to watch.
I love how you show yourself installing the system on an interior 6 panel wood grain hollow core door and then pretend to be testing it on an exterior 6 panel smooth steel solid core door. I feel sorry for all the people who watch this and will buy your BS. Can the product help? Yes, but not in the scenario you just showed.

Most bedroom doors are hollow core. The item will slow down entry, but hollow core doors are quickly destroyed.
Was about to say, you can literally punch through those. This won't do anything to stop people.

He keeps hitting the middle of the door. I think if he hit the side only the doorricade would fail.

So do criminals

You sacrificed your house and bought yourself a trip to Home Depot for us! Much respect, brother. Thanks, from a subscriber!
Well, be besides that bar behind the door, you also show demonstrate that people need to also reinforce their door frame as well
What if the door has a window?
Get it. You can use a 2x4. And accomplish the same thing for a lot less money. 💴
That's what we did.
I have a 2x4 that I jab under the door handle. My doors are solid wood in my 1906 home not that cheap hollow cardboard doors.

Hold on….. you are going to pepper spray someone that’s in your house uninvited? At 2am, you gonna bust out pepper spray???
The Doorricade is $90 bar with brackets. Door needs to be solid as will. Gotcha.
Third video made on this thing. You must have a bad memory not remembering you did this before.
Yet here you are, watching it again, and taking the time to comment. Got your attention didn’t he….
Just asking,why not use 3 units of dooricade to one door?
Or 6
Because it is mostly pointless. If someone is willing to ram your door, they almost certainly will break a window and enter that way.
anything in the bag of tricks for an out swing door setup??
I like the comments that say it will slow a home invader down long enough to get to a/several weapon and have a chance.
thank you
For most bedrooms and inner doors are hollow, this will not work. And why are you becoming a salesman, sales channel. I can see ads on TV.
He said that was one of his top skills of a CIA agent
Good stuff J., safety glasses sir, we need you !!!
Go thru the drywall. Easy peasy.
I wish the metal piece on the side where the door handle is would fold like a hinge so when not in use I wont bang into it.
Clearly just a commercial you got paid to do. Guess I can't trust you for unbiased info.
Its called a GUN…
Bedroom doors are hollow and the hinges held in place by half inch screws. One kick and it’s open.
When the frame opens up and there is a gap between door and frame ,, they can insert crowbar and try remove door-bar?
So whenever you have to have repairs on the house 5:34 you have to call someone in. There goes the secret residence
Don't get me wrong I like the device... But most average homeowners interior doors are hollow. Hence making this device null and void...
Um. He has a window. Path of least resistance 😂.
Have you ever crawled through a window? Unless you live in a older house they can be difficult.
They’ll just break a window or wall 😂🤦♂️

Wow. Frightening. TFS!
Should have used that pry bar to attack the door edges
How many people install steel doors on the interior?
Luckily I have solid wooden doors throughout my house, it’s over 100 years old, so these would work otherwise no point.
Can you demo how a door wedge would work in similar situations
Close door. Put wedge under door where the gap is smallest. Pretty straight forward.
I hope the fore department has to get in.
