    I want to know who manufactured the door.
    How the door is hung is more important than the door itself. Something you can do right now without spending a lot of money is replace the shitty screws in your strike plates and hinges with 4" long ones that go into the surrounding studs. An extended 6 screw strike plate is a good idea, too. The doors in that video have a little more than just that going on, tho.

    I wouldn't think that "typical" doors would stand up to that abuse.
    Steel doors you can get from home depot will take more abuse than you might think. The frame, strike plates, and hinges are the weak points. Even with a real bad ass door what usually pops is the strike plate.

    Of course anyone who wants to get in will eventually get in no mater what setup you have. The idea is to buy some time.

    Exactly. Any door or window is only as strong as it's mounting within the framework of the house. All of mine are strengthened to resist being easily kicked in.

    I always wondered why don't they just wait outside for the bad guys to leave. They gotta come out eventually. You can turn off water and electricity and other stuff to entice them.

    Because I can.....

    YEP: COVID-19: China says Wuhan wet market was site of ‘superspreader’ event, not ground zero. Yeah, it leaked from the lab, didn’t it?
    So here’s a thought: What elevated this in my mind from “oh, the annual rumors of a new disease outbreak in China” to “holy crap, better pay attention” was the Chinese government’s own rather dramatic response. Hypothesis: They knew it had leaked from the lab, but weren’t sure yet which infectious agent had leaked from the lab, hence the dramatic response, more appropriate to a much deadlier disease. Second hypothesis: From this, we can assume that there is a worse infectious agent in that lab. Or at least that there was.
    because I can....

    Um, wut?
    I wasn't talking to you, and why talk about CV-19 in this thread?
