KEY POINT 1
First, check your entry doors. [Close-up: strike plate, deadbolt, door frame] A solid deadbolt helps, but the frame and strike plate matter just as much. If the screws are short or the frame is weak, the lock can fail under pressure.
Longer screws and a reinforced strike plate are a simple upgrade.
KEY POINT 2

Next, look at windows and sliding doors. [B-roll: sliding door track, window latch, dowel in track] These are common weak spots because the locks are often easy to defeat.
Add window pins, a dowel or security bar for sliders, and make sure the locks actually engage tightly.
