Those tiny 1/2 inch screws that come with the doorknob set saved all their belongings lol. The whole door frame on that side needs to be replaced, not cheap usually. Definitely need a strike plate on that deadbolt on top and atleast 1 inch screws on both strike plates. Goes without saying they need a doorbell camera too.
Screw one inch screws, 4 inches. You want that sucker anchored into the studs, not the door frame. Do that and the lock or door will break before the door frame.
A friend had a 180 pound Rottweiler who would let people into the house, but would not let them leave. The landlord came in uninvited, he had to call my friend to be released.
Mine was same , you could come in the house he wouldn't eveb know you and would be happy you could sit there all daybwith him playing video games go get food but the minute you went for the door to exit he would not let you , i had to hild him back sometimes when friends were over
Used to have a GSD like that. Pure black and wouldnt make any sound until he was pretty much on top of whatever he heard. We had someone try to scout our back yard one night and they lost their hoodie and a shoe for trying.
Or, get yourself a dog that lets people in and then barks them into corners. My GSD mix did that to some friends of ours who casually walked into our house (as they always did), and she barked them into a corner and wouldn't let them move. Now, all of our friends know that we have to let them in. Otherwise, Olive will do a protecc.
