The FBI says," Every twelve seconds a home invasion occurs"
He knocks, you open.....Oh ..no no
It's not smart to open a door when you don't know who's there!
Or maybe he decides to kick his way in!
Do you know how weak your entry doors are? And why?
Do you know why your door will fail?
Just look at how much wood was drilled out to install the hardware. That's only 3/8 of an inch of wood left to protect against breaking.
The door jamb only has only 3/8" left to protect as well
This is where the strike plate is installed with very short screws. So you can see why it doesn't take much of a kick to break through your doorway
Here's what's left of the door jamb after a kick-in
Short screws into very little wood , no wonder it's easy to kick-in! See the side view of the door jamb (in white) in the picture to the right.
The door 'FRAME' is among the strongest components of the home
Hidden behind the drywall is the door frame. (The double or triple 2 x 4s ). It is this strength component that the LineBacker mounts are screwed into. The white board on the left in the circle is the door jamb. It is in this 3/4" board that your strike plate is mounted
Here's why it works so well
See how The LineBacker is anchored to the interior door frame and why it's so strong.
Four 3 1/2" screws go through the mounting brackets into both sides of the door frame,(the two by fours inside the drywall) just outside the trim, to anchor the LineBacker. It cannot be any stronger!.
When the cam/handle is rotated, it squeezes the door tightly against it's stops.
Being squeezed against the door, It becomes unified to the door 'frame' and is now immovable. Since it cannot move, you are protecting not just the door but also the door jamb from damage.
Slide & Rotate, the door can open. See who's there, accept mail, pet access, or ventilation.
Just rotate the handle, slide it aside, and a heavy duty pin hinge will allow the bar to articulate and still be anchored to the frame. No one can force the door open!
The Cam/Handle Slides to reveal a strong hinge
Heavy duty steel Pin Hinge is exposed when the handle slides aside
Safety catch is reversible and slides into its channel
The quick release safety catch is not reachable from the open side of the door.
A spring loaded catch secures the end of the bar
Just swipe your hand across the release tab and the bar falls away in an emergency .
