My apt door only has one lock, a deadbolt. I've read several times about home robberies where the theif bumps the lock. I know there is nothing I can do during the day but I was curious if door braces (rod braced against the foor and up around the doorknob) really work? I was thinking of something like that for when I am home.

Hi Amelia! Yes, braces do work, as long as they are correctly placed. Master lock and I think the Club both carry their versions of the brace. Still, since you can only use it when home, consider a high-security deadbolt as a replacement for the vulnerable one you have.

Les, unfortunately modifications to security are not allowed. That is why I was asking about the brace. I just have to pray that nothing happens when I am away from the apt.
