- There are
break-ins in our neighborhood regularly here in Atlanta. Even homes
with security alarms and cameras are not immune. Police response time
for home break-ins is at lest an hour. We installed Strikemasters
on our doors. I came home one day to find scuff marks and dents on
the back door. Closer examination of the door frame revealed a slight
dent on the Strikemaster where the doorknob thumb-lock had been stressed
into the metal of the Strikemaster. End result, the Strikemaster held
and the thieves could not get in. You have a great product and I have
been reccomending it every time the subject of home break-ins come
up.
Big thanks from Mark and Jenny in Atlanta!
- I just got
through installing the first one on our front door, and I'm pleased
with the results. It took all of 20 minutes tops. We live somewhat
in the country, and aren't real concerned with crime,but you never
can tell these days. With the StrikeMaster on our door, I feel the
house is more secure, and I'll feel better when my wife is home alone
at night or day. Andy - North Carolina.
- I really
honestly sleep better with peace of mind knowing my home is protected.
This proved to be one of my best new home improvement decisions.

- We will most
certainly recommend it to friends and family. Have already talked
it up to a realtor.... I have never seen a more simple & common
sense solution. Jim B.
- I was recently
burglarized in Atlanta, Ga where the robbers simply kicked my front
door in breaking right through the frame. I found out later from neighbors
that this is the way most home break-ins happen. I also heard about
a product called the StrikeMaster 2 which prevents this type of break-in
from happening by reinforcing your doorframe with 2 layers of very
strong stainless steel. I purchased one at the local Ace Hardware
(Village Hardware • 1231 Glenwood Ave SE • 404-627-5757)
and installed it on my front doorframe. I now have more peace of mind
knowing that my house will be impenetrable through the front door
(the way most forced entries occur). There is a great video on Youtube
demonstrating the effectiveness of this product. I highly recommend
the StrikeMaster 2 to protect your house. Michael G. - Atlanta,
Georgia
- Installation
was fast and easy......however I did need to "peek" at your
web site for a diagram to make sure I was installing the two pieces
correctly I also replaced all of my hinge screws with 3" general
construction screws to reinforce the "non-Strikemaster"
side of the frame. My doors now feel significantly sturdier.
And while I hope I never have to put your product to the test, I do
have peace of mind that thanks to your product, there's now one more
barrier a criminal needs to overcome to gain access to my home. Many
people wait until AFTER being victimized to think about home security.
There's a quote that says the difference between experience and wisdom............experience
is learning from your mistakes, wisdom is learning from OTHERS' mistakes!
It doesn't make sense to "bar the door" after the horse
has already escaped! Thank you for a great product! - Steven
M. - Indian Trail, NC
- I ordered
a StrikeMaster II today. We are quite impressed with your product
and the raves it's getting around the internet...thank you for creating
a meaningful home security product that does more than provide the
illusion of security! - R. Y. - Las Vegas
- Ironically
last June when my wife and I bought our house the Brinks Security
rep mentioned the Strikemaster, but she could not remember the exact
name, and I never followed up with her. I figured a security system
was enough." It wasn't. And amazingly enough, the person who
broke in was only 5 ft 6 and got through the door with only ONE kick.
Little did I know how poorly deadbolts protect you. Little did I know
that before the actual alarm went off (when the warning tone was still
beeping) that it would be plenty of time for the robber to steal a
50 inch TV. I look forward to receiving the StrikeMaster to gain greater
peace of mind. Thanks! - Joe A. March 2008
- Thank you
so much for the courteous and professional serviced provided.
My father installed both Strikemaster IIs today – front and
back door. He is really big on security, as well as for my safety
in my home. He was impressed with the product and its concept
and feels so much better about my protection in my home. So
much so that he will be placing an order from you soon. Also,
I told my next door neighbors about you, and they will be placing
an order. My neighbor’s sister’s house was just
broken into the other day, and they kicked the door in! So,
he is going to pass Strikemaster on to her as well! Oh, my best
friend is going to purchase two also! Again, thank you Mr. Anderson.
I feel much safer now that I have something in place to prevent door
kick ins! - Erica T - Jan 2008
- My story
was that I accidentally locked my house keys inside the car as
I was getting my 2 year old son out of his car seat on a
cold raining night. My wife was not scheduled to be
home for another 2 hours. Frustrated, cold, and desperate,
I did not want to break a window and risk cutting myself or my
son by entering through that way. Incidentally I kicked the
front door two times and to my surprise the wood splintered and gave
way just like the images on your site, even with the door locked and deadbolt
engaged. Equally surprising was that no one in the neighborhood
was alarmed. So after wards as I was searching for a door
repair site I came across your product and was persuaded
that the StrikeMaster was all I needed. Not only was it easy
to install, it fixed the door jam and offers the peace
of mind that no intruder would be able to simply kick in
the front door. Thanks Again, - Vidal in Accokeek, MD 01-18-08
- I wanted
to send you a note of thanks for creating the StrikeMaster II. It
has been one of the best investments that I could buy to protect my
home. I was a victim of kick in burglary earlier this year, and found
out about the Strikemaster II through an internet search. After the
kick in, I had an alarm system and a strike master installed. A few
months later, although I had the alarm sign visible, another break
in was attempted, this time with a sledgehammer (the door was damaged)
but the culprits were unable to gain entry into my home because of
the Strikemaster II. As a result, I have recommended the Strikemaster
II to all of my neighbors.
- Carmen in Atlanta, GA
- To all the
women out there, Buy a StrikeMaster
II for all of your exterior doors. I bought 3 to protect
my family. Even though I have a husband that could have installed
them, I decided to do it myself to see if I could do it. The
first one wasn't hard to figure out but it took my about 45 minutes
to install. The second two only took 20 minutes each to install each.
It is super easy if you have a cordless drill. Watch the installation
video on the website and you will see how easy it is. Also,
like the website recommends, check to see how long the screws are
that connect the hinges to the wall. The builder put 1"
screws in our hinges and we have since upgraded to 2.5 inch screws
for increased security on the hinge side too. I just wanted
all the women out there (to know) that you can install this product
yourself. If you are living alone or without any men in the
house it is even more important that you buy this product. I
feel much safer having my doors reinforced. I am planning to
buy the StrikeMaster
II for both my sister-in-law and sister soon so they can have
this added security too. - Sarah B. in Athens, GA
This
letter is from a police officer: In my search for
possibly looking to spend $1000 or more on a good safe door the StrikeMaster
II was the smart alternative. I don't anticipate anyone trying to
break into my home through the front door, but if they try I feel
confident they'll have a very difficult time succeeding. Included
is a photo of me and the StrikeMaster II installed on my front door.
Once I found out that the two strike plates simply fit atop one another
the installation was simple. Just align the plates with the door lock
holes, mark the door frame with a pencil, put the 1st screw in the
top hole, the 2nd screw in the bottom hole, then easily screw in the
remaining screws to secure, but not too tight. Simple… As a
San Antonio police officer, I've seen plenty of doors kicked in. This
StrikeMaster II is the $100 alternative to spending thousands of dollars
for the same concept of keeping someone from being able to kick in
your door. I'm glad I found your web site. - J. A. Foster
- This
letter is from a former police officer: I am a retired
Chief of Police with more than 30 years in law enforcement and security
and have investigated 1000's of residential burglaries and domestic
assaults that were due to the crashing or kicking in of the doors
at the home. .... I am proud to announce that I have seen an amazing
new product called the StrikeMaster II. This is inexpensive and stronger
than any would-be homicidal maniac, I promise... the security market
has finally produced a product that is better than locks and alarms.
I highly recommend this product on all your outside doors at your
home. - Donald Purnell CLL, CFE, Director of Security, Sentry Watch,
Inc.
- As Production
Manager of the Discovery Channel series "It Takes a Thief"
I've seen a lot of home security products and I must tell you that
your StrikeMaster II is one of the most exciting we've had the privilege
of featuring on our program. Our Thief puts every piece of security
equipment we install to the ultimate test ... and I must say that
he certainly is not going through any door secured by the StrikeMaster
II! - Jesse Sheppard, Production Manager "It Takes a Thief"
- I have installed
the (2) StrikeMaster
II's on my front and back doors. As you know, I've
had my house broken into two times.The first time the crooks
broke in my front door and within a 2 or 3 minutes had stolen over
$4000.00 worth of my personal items. The next time they broke in my
back door and took and additional $2000.00 worth of items, and this
time they were not in the house more than two minutes. Both
times my alarm went off and the police arrived. But in that
short period of time that were able to take that much. Now I have
the strikemasters installed, and just as the reporting police officer
said… “The key to preventing the break-ins… to prevent
the crooks from breaking in….!” If I had known
about your product earlier I know I would have not been a victim.
As your ad states, installing the StrikeMaster
II is simple and should take less than 30 minutes. I was able
to install both in less than an hour. - L. Carter, Atlanta, Ga.
- This
letter is from a police officer & the Hamilton Township Police
Department, NJ: I have been a consultant in the
area of Crime Prevention for 18 years, and your StrikeMaster II is
the first new product designed to provide physical perimeter protection
that I would wholly and unconditionally endorse.- Jesse Thatcher,
Senior Crime Prevention Aide
- Thank you
for sending me the StrikeMaster II for inclusion in my recent TV makeover
shoot. My general contractor installed it easily and very quickly
- so quickly that our cameras could have easily missed the action!
– and our homeowners feel much safer knowing their basement
entry is so sturdily reinforced.
- Sarah K. Tautin, Associate Producer, It Takes a Thief
- Thank you
for your call this morning. We did indeed receive your product as
expected and installed both that evening. It went on very easily even
after piecing the jamb back together on our son’s door. We are
satisfied that we have done what we can in that situation (short of
installing a brand new door on a landlord’s property) and pray
that we can avoid another break-in. We certainly appreciate your advice
and speedy mailing of the Strikemaster II to us. I am forwarding your
site address to a number of business folks who rent to students with
the hope that they will take steps to protect their young renters.
-Linda Dobbs
- My husband
and I had the StrikeMaster
II installed the last week of December. I thought at the time
that it was a good product. Just a little extra protection for your
home is always a good investment. On February 5 - just 5 weeks later-
I was at home with my 19-month-old daughter at 9:15 a.m., when someone
attempted to kick my door in. After I established that the coast was
clear, I discovered that the attempt was not successful due to the
protective reinforcement that the StrikeMaster
II gives. I instantly became more than just a mild believer
in this product. I feel that it kept me from having a bad experience
of defending my daughter, myself and my home. I strongly urge anyone
looking for home protection to get the StrikeMaster
II installed. - J. Villa, Fayetteville, NC

“About
10:00 AM in the morning, in broad daylight, my front door was kicked
open and TVs and VCR's were taken. I now have StrikeMasters on all
my doors. I truly believe if I had the StrikeMaster
II's before, it would have stopped or deterred the thieves."
- H. Britinger

Ed
- you are truly a one-in-a-million. Thank you for making me have
faith in someone again!! Everywhere you turn, service is lousy -
and to meet someone like you is truly a blessing. You will never
know how much I appreciate you helping me!! Thank you!!! -

On
the 16th of May, 2005, our home in Chicago was broken into by thieves
who shouldered/kicked their way in, through 3 separate doors, one
entry and two apartments. A considerable amount of valuables and
memorabilia were stolen, including identity theft. Upon observing
the 'ease' of entry by these thieves, we set about investigating
door protection measures on the internet.
After observing a very graphic video on the 'Safe Home International'
site, we ordered the StrikeMaster II for overnight delivery, with
the caveat that we would do a 'real-life' test after installation.
My installer naturally had his doubts, as I asked him to kick and
shoulder the door, after the product was installed. He asked me
who would pay for the door frame repair 'in case it didn't work
as advertised,' I said I would be responsible, since the safety
of our family and property was of utmost concern. I weigh in at
240 lbs and I 'shouldered/kicked' the door three times, without
it's failing. My installer, who closely approximates the LARGE individual
in the graphic video, had at the door next. He shouldered it twice
and kicked it last, his size 11 shoe imprint is still on the back
door, although the wall seemed to 'bow in,' the door did not budge.
My installer came away convinced, and I came away satisfied, that
I made my Family and my Home that much more secure.
The cost/benefit ratio as well is definitely in favor of the StrikeMaster
II in comparison with other devices currently on the market. To
say that we are more than pleased with the results we obtained from
the product, as well as it's support, would be an accurate assessment.
-APA Chicago
- This
letter is from a former police officer: I
installed the Strike Master II. It only took about 35 to 40 minutes.
I have jamb extensions on my front door (don't ask) so that took just
a bit more time. Overall I found the installation to be simple and
the instructions to be easy and complete. The door shuts and locks
easily. The precut areas for the deadbolt and doorknob were exact.
The StrikeMaster II blends into the white door jam and is not readily
noticed. I do like the product, almost too simple.
- Scott Shaper - former Police Officer and Author
- "I was
staying up until three or four in the morning fearing a break-in.
My first night with StrikeMaster I felt safe enough I went to bed
by eleven PM. Thank you!" - C. Tucker
- "The
StrikeMaster II
only took minutes to install and the cost was minimal. The quality
of the workmanship and product have allowed me to rest better knowing
that someone would have difficulty breaking in the door ....... I
would highly recommend the StrikeMaster
II to anyone wanting to insure the safety of their home or
business." - E. Schultz, D.C.
-
"A
well placed kick is backed with hundreds of pounds of pressure.
I have been breaking in the martial arts for over 30 years, and
I have never seen a security device withstand force like the Strike
Master II. You have certainly developed a product that I have no
qualms putting my name and my school behind. The Strike Master II
is a high quality product that anyone with a home can use!"
- Steve Mathews, Steve Mathew's Chinese Martial Arts Center

"My
home in Birch Creek was burglarized and the thief or thieves kicked
in my front door and made off with over $5000.00 in personal property
plus $1000.00 in damage to my door. At this time my home was equipped
with a very sophisticated security system valued at $3600.00 ...
Had I had the StrikeMaster II on my doors last November, I am confident
the break-in at my home would never have occurred. I highly recommend
the StrikeMaster II to anyone concerned with the security of his
or her home and the safety of his or her family." - Ron
Edenfield, General Manager, Rick Hendricks Toyota Jeep/Eagle
-
"When
Mr. Anderson approached us with StrikeMaster
II we were a little hesitant at how this would protect our
home from burglars, but when it comes to protecting your family
and home you do not think twice. While away for the Christmas holidays
someone tried to break in. Thanks to StrikeMaster
II, they were unsuccessful." - Mr. Rivera
