I love this tip simple, affordable, and actually effective. Even something as small as adding a 1/8 inch steel bar can make a real difference against a brute force attack. That said, it’s worth remembering that door security is all about layers. Reinforcing the frame, using quality locks, and securing hinges all work together to slow down intruders.
For anyone in Singapore looking for professional guidance, I’ve had a really positive experience with Locksmith Singapore. They helped me upgrade my front door with reinforced strike plates and grade 1 deadbolts, while keeping the installation neat and unobtrusive. The difference in how solid the door feels is noticeable, and it gives a real sense of peace of mind knowing that multiple weak points are addressed. You can check out their services on their

In my experience, even small additions like a door guard or longer screws for hinges paired with something like this steel bar trick can drastically reduce the chances of a successful break-in. Layered security really is the key.
