Residential lock replacement after forced entry

https://ace-wiki.win/index.php/Residential_lock_replacement_after_forced_entry

After a break-in, the first thing I did was call a locksmith to rip out the old deadbolt and replace the whole lock set. The door frame was splintered around the strike plate, so they also reinforced it with a heavy-duty security plate. They installed a new Grade 1 deadbolt and a smart lock with an alarm, which took about an hour. Now I can finally sleep without jumping at every creak, knowing the lock won't just give way again.
