We had an attempted entry today. Seems like the dog scared them off, but the wifey is freaking out still. I think the thieves unlocked the deadbolt. Meanwhile, the dog tore apart the blinds while trying to eat the burglar(s).

Talked to the neighbors, seems like this is a reoccurring issue for them. They've been hit twice. Our neighbors across the hall got hit during the holiday season.

I bought and installed some window lock things and longer screws to attach the strike plates to the 2x4's (as opposed to just the 1x4 piece of trim).

What else can I do? I'd like something where I can add an extra layer of security that I can access from the outside, as they seem to be breaking in during the morning hours while most everyone goes to work. Does anyone know how to install a security latch for an in swing door?

Seems like they have the place pretty cased out as they even know the college students class schedules.

buy either a kwikset smart lock or a Schlage deadbolt. I would go with the Smart lock as they are almost pick proof and a bit cheaper than the Schlage

Where ya been buddy?!

I have a suspicion that it's an ex employee with a set of master keys. Would the smart lock still work?

Yea cause it will be different keys then, most places dont care if you change them as long as you supply a key to management if you rent. Selling my tanks off slowly just kinda burnt out on thw whole "fish thing" fresh and salt. Been doing this crap for 20 years and finally just getting tired of it.
