Club Adventist
Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do.
And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with
– even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.
Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently. Romans 14.1: The Message

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.

Also, another option (copy & paste):

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.

You may wish to consider a good wireless security system. Modifications will not be an issue.
