Solid product, works well. Install can be a chore., January 12, 2013

My current rental house has a hollow steel front door with a window. It might as well be a screen door for the protection it offers from a break in. I installed the Prime Line Prod. U 9539 Strike-3 Deadbolt And Door Frame Reinforcer which does a great job strengthening the deadbolt area, but the glass in the door makes it easy to break the glass and unlock the door.

I looked at the various “kick bar” and “door bar” options that push against the door at the door knob, but those are relatively large and awkward. The Door Club (and the similar floor-mounted door blocks) was more appealing since it is less obtrusive.

I chose the Door Club over the other options because of the relatively low-profile hardware required on the floor. I didn’t want a 1/2″ thick slab of plastic or metal on the floor. The design of the Door Club is great in that regard.

As some other reviews have indicated, installation can be relatively easy, or quite a chore, depending on your type of floor and the tools you have available. My house has tile floors on a wood subfloor–not one of the best combinations. Because of the wood subfloor, I chose to install the metal reinforcing plate.

Drilling through the tile floor required carbide tipped “glass and tile” drill bits for the small screw holes. I used the 3/16″ bit for the four corner holes in the tile so that the screws wouldn’t crack the tile, and then made a 1/8″ hole in the subfloor for the screws to bite on.

For the main 3/4″ center hole, the instructions say to use a 3/4″ carbide tipped masonry bit. I couldn’t find a carbide bit nearly that large at my hardware store–only 10″ long hammer drill bits seemed to be that large. But Home Depot had a very cool Ridgid brand Diamond Tile Drill Bit–it’s a thin hole saw with diamond grit.

After buying in drill bits (see photos), I used water to constantly lubricate the bit and very slowly drilled the 5 holes. The holes came out incredibly clean–much better than I expected.

Once I had the holes drilled, the installation of the reinforcing plate went smoothly, and my door is now as burglar resistant as it is going to get.

I now realize I should have ordered the ‘antique brass’ color–the standard brass is incredibly yellow and shiny, which I don’t really like. But Amazon only had the standard brass at the time. But if it prevents a break in, I don’t care what color it is.

Door Club, April 20, 2010

I installed two of these bad boys in my house, front and back door, about two weeks ago. I have a concrete slab foundation and thankfully had a hammerdrill to make the holes. In turn the front and back door are nearly impossible to break down now, someone would literally have to knock the door off the hinges or rip it out the opposite direction to get in. My wife was greatfull when she was home alone with the kids and on two seperate occasions at night strangers came knocking. The door club can be turned around and slipped back into place to allow the door to be opened and inch or two to allow the person inside to talk without compromising safety. When not in use it hangs up nicely on the door with a provided hanger. Excellent, inexpensive, and secure.
