Make your doors virtually impenetrable
by Jen
When it comes to the possibility of having my home broken into, I’m actually a little more worried about what would happen if I was there than if I wasn’t. As traumatic as getting burgled is, people have been killed by burglars who broke in, not realizing someone was home.
For over a decade, I’ve relied on the Door Jammer to keep people out while I’m home. I’ve used it in apartments and houses, even when an electronic security system was present. You just stick it under your front door knob, gently kick it into place, and it “jams” in there so there’s no way to open the front door from the outside. When you want to open the door, it pulls back out very quickly and easily (important in case of a fire or needing to leave suddenly for any reason), and it’s adjustable so it fits every door knobs I’ve ever tried it on.
It collapses down to about two feet in length, so you can even take it along when you travel and use it on hotel room doors for added security (or privacy).
A wonderfully inexpensive way to make windows and sliding glass doors more of a challenge for intruders is to secure them with dowel sticks. It won’t stop somebody from breaking the glass to get in, but according to law enforcement, most criminals are looking for easy targets – if your home presents any kind of a challenge, they will often just move onto another one.

Well, this might work well, maybe too well if you have a problem and emergency services needs to gain entry and you have blocked their way in and you can’t get to the door to remove it cause, say, for example you are having a heart attack.
