If the whole door locked into a concrete outter rim, like a safe door, they're not getting in.
Or even a bar placed in front of the door.
Yet nobody actually secures their front door.
A good shoulder barge will break a front door.
It's crazy.
Is this a niche business opportunity? Actual front doors that lock and are secure?
I rent a nice apartment.
Tell me why my landlords would want to build a door that would withstand the police.
So let's say you've kidnapper a kid and they're in your house, you think cops shouldn't be able to ram the door in?
shareLet’s say you’re not a kidnapper. Because… you’re probably not a kidnapper. And let’s say that I’m not a kidnapper. Because… wait let me check… yup, I’m not a kidnapper.
Now, should the two of us, in our own individual abodes, have the right and the choice to build ourselves a solid bunker-strength door as our front door?
I say yes.
[none]
Having a choice doesn't mean a sane person would choose to do it.
Most people don't even have a fence door. Even when they do, they're usually not locked. Even when they do, they're so low you can just jump over. Even when we have the choice to build a thick wall around our lawns, nobody actually does it.
Except, criminals maybe. Or kings / presidents.
I didn't say you shouldn't be allowed to have a door like that.
shareProbably because home invaders don’t use police rams.
You really are an idiot. How’s that acting career going?

shareI've always thought it has to do with fires - with being able to break a door down easily and quickly in the event of a house fire. The time it would take to ram down a burning house could mean the death of the residents and the fire-people.
shareI was just reading the comments to see if anyone mentioned this. Police aren't the only first responders to use them, and I would like the fire department have as many ways to rescue me, and my family, if the need ever arose.
shareYeah, sad to say, but houses aren't built to withstand much and apartments are even worse - some are built with highly flammable materials - so yeah I want to be able to be rescued as easily and safely as possible also.
