How many Home Invasion Robberies start like this?
Knock-Knock (or ding-dong if there is a button outside)
Door opened by occupant
Several people rush in before occupant can respond
I have watched more people than I can remember respond to a knock or doorbell by just opening the door to see who is there. Maybe it would be different if:
Knock-Knock
Occupant checks Monitor from Security camera at front entrance (or peephole if not willing to spring for vid system)
Asks party their business through intercom (or shouts through door)
Recognizes threat from video and notifies 911 while arming himself.
Police arrive or threat leaves.
All through encounter, front door remained closed and bolted.
Not perfect scenario but a lot better than throwing open the door and then saying "Aw [color=#FF0000]█[/color][color=#FF0000]█[/color][color=#FF0000]█[/color][color=#FF0000]█[/color][color=#FF0000]█[/color][color=#FF0000]█[/color]" as you are knocked on your @$$
BTW if you are worried about secondary access like side, back doors, or windows, what good is that steel front door with a 1" deadbolt if you have 5 other easier means of access.
