The competitive products that are on the market are actually extended strike plates. While these products are more effective than using nothing at all, in head to head tests, these products have failed where Door Jamb Armor has not. Without door and hinge protection, you are wasting your money. Don't take our word for it. Below is a news report done on one of our competitor's products. Sure, this was great publicity but the product failed! Watch the whole video and note the "BUYER BEWARE" when the door gets kicked in with one kick!!!!!
.
It doesn't matter how thick you make the steel if nothing else on the door is reinforced. It doesn't matter if you have a steel, fiberglass or wood door. The weak point is going to break, it just may take a few more kicks.
This is the difference between a product sold based on perception and a solution that has been tested and was designed to actually work. Compare this result to the one in our Does It Work test.
Read the fine print in competitive warranties. It is easy to warranty against the jamb splitting if you know that something else will break first.
