Forty years as a locksmith taught me the same thing: a 59-cent screw and a $6 strike plate hold a door that a $1,200 replacement barely improves. This book has 95 of those fixes, most under $40.
Make your home the one burglars skip, using simple hardware-store fixes that mostly cost under $40 and take ten minutes each.

Before is real quotes I saw customers pay. After is the hardware-store parts that do the same job, bought once.
95 numbered methods across 13 sections. Each one: the materials with current prices, the step-by-step, and an honest note on what it does and doesn't do. Pick the methods that fit your place — you don't have to do all of them.
I'm Mark Whitcomb. I spent forty years as a locksmith, and most of that work wasn't cutting keys. It was showing up the morning after a break-in to replace a door somebody kicked in with one boot. After the thousandth splintered frame, I saw the same thing every time: the door was fine, but a 59-cent screw and a $6 strike plate would have held it. I got tired of watching families pay $1,200 for a new door when $40 of hardware from the same aisle did more. Now I'm retired from the shop and I run the channel Burglar-Proof with Mark, showing the cheap tricks the alarm salesmen skip. There's no commission in a longer screw.
Read it, try the fixes, and if it doesn't show you a cheaper way to hold your doors than a new one, email me inside 7-day window and I'll refund every dollar. No forms, no questions.

If you can use a screwdriver and a drill, you can do almost everything in here. Most methods are ten minutes and use parts from any hardware store. The few bigger jobs are marked, and I tell you when it's fine to hire it out.
No. My whole rule is cheap beats fancy. Most fixes cost under $40, plenty cost a few dollars, and I tell you flat-out where an expensive system is a waste and where a $6 part does more.
Yes. A lot of methods are removable and leave no damage — window pins, track dowels, door chimes, timers, loop locks. There's guidance throughout on renter-friendly versions.
Nothing can promise that, and I won't insult you by pretending otherwise. What these methods do is make your house slower, louder, and riskier to break into than the next one — and that's usually enough to make a burglar keep walking.
Not at all. Start with the Kick Test in Section 1 to find your worst weak point, fix that one, and go from there. A handful of the strike-plate and slider fixes alone cover most homes.
This is the launch price. Once the introductory run is over the price goes up. The methods don't change — the number on the page does.
