Choosing a Door for Your Home Barricade Area

Hi. So you might want to think about having a solid core wooden door on that bedroom that you're going to get your family in and you're going to be in, when you get on the phone with the police. You might want to think about even going to the length of having an exterior type door, right? Like a class one metal door installed inside of your home. You want to make sure those hinges are set deep into the studs of the wall and you don't just have a very superficial the kind of normal screws that come with most of your commercial hinges at your big box stores if you go buy a door, aren't going to be hardened.

They aren't going to be secure. They aren't going to be long. They're kind of things where the door might be intact but it's going to be laying on the floor if somebody really puts a shoulder into it, right? So you wanna make sure your hinges are strong. You want to make sure you have good locks.

You have to think about putting a deadbolt lock on the interior of the bedroom so that you can use that to lock your strong door against that intruder that's going to be pounding on the door. If you build that door strong enough, you can sit in there with your gun in your hand on the phone with the police with your family behind you and wait for the police to get there. That's the idea of the barricade, right? How far does that go? Do we build a cinder block room in the center of our house and make it have its own air supply and everything else?

I don't mean the group like music. I mean like supply of air to breathe. You can get your own air supply in that safe room. I mean, you got a big safe probably have private security and everything.
