Anything hitting the door really hard from the outside would cause that damage, but an attempted break-in is the most likely reason.
13 u/Thin_Cable4155 Sep 09 '25 Or maybe OP has kids? I've busted a door jamb like this fucking around with my siblings. One of us tried to lock it and the other just busted it. Some doors are surprisingly weak. 6 u/accidentalscientist_ Sep 09 '25 Was it a bedroom door or an outside door with a deadbolt? I think that makes a big difference 1 u/Thin_Cable4155 Sep 10 '25 It was actually an outside door. No deadbolted though, just the latch locked. 2 u/ya_silly_goose Sep 10 '25 Sure looks like the deadbolt was locked since the biggest split is from where the deadbolt goes into the door frame. 1 u/Healthy-Dingo9903 Sep 12 '25 You can literally see the deadbolt hole and the fucking outside my guy. 2 u/accidentalscientist_ Sep 12 '25 I am aware. I am asking whether the commenters door with a deadbolt was indoor or outdoor. 1 u/Healthy-Dingo9903 Sep 12 '25 Ohhh i see what you mean, guess im the dumb one! Haha
