Peeled Up door- anybody got a picture

For the second time in 18 years I have run into someone who had the back
door(steel)in ther business pried up from the bottom to create an
opening big enough to crawl in.

The top of the door never moved in the frame so ...well you can guess
how well the door contact performed.

I am writing an application note on how to prevent this from going
undetected and was looking for a picture of a door in such a state (the
last guy took picture for his insurance company but can't find them now
("I probably deleted them from my desktop") and the first time was 10
years ago and digital pictures were only a twinkle in someones eye.

Anyone had this happen - got a picture you'd like to share?

I don't know how many pictures I have looked at in Google now with no luck

door pried

door bent

door burglary

door break in

Although I did find a really nice blog whih I'm adding to my feeds

You can do photo beams too to save money when there are a bunch of OVH doors
in a row. It usually means more service calls though.


There's an "easier method". Install two deadbolts. Put the second
about a foot up from the bottom of the door. Bob Campbell's a big
proponent of "hardening" the premises, and it may not always be the most
cost effective method to install a bunch of motions (or a beam
detector). Besides, all it takes is one dumb employee in a warehouse to
block the beam or PIR.

frowned upon if the door is considered a fire exit - I'm all for the
motion backing up the door

These days I only use the Sentrol clamp on switches...install them about
foot off the floor - no more service calls to fix snagged cables and its
still low enough to detect a push in. AND...then install in about 1 minute.
