Ray Kessler has stood in thousands of doorways the morning after, and not one of those doors was saved by foil. Here are the seven things those doors really had in common, and what to check tonight. THE SEVEN, WITH CHECK AND FIX: 1. The strike plate: short screws in the trim. Fix: three-inch screws into the stud (under $10). 2. The deadbolt: the click you hear is the latch, not the lock. Check: turn the deadbolt every time. 3. The frame: a split jamb painted over. Fix: a reinforcement strike plate. 4. The deadbolt's throw: under one inch is a short throw. Check: measure it. Fix: a deadbolt with a one-inch bolt. 5. The side door: the one everybody forgets. Check: walk the house and try every handle, garage door too. 6. The glass near the lock: a thumb-turn within reach of a pane. Fix: a double cylinder or security film. 7. The dark side of the house: a dead porch light and tall hedges. Fix: light and trim.
