[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 2880057, member: 29706"] The first and best upgrade you can make moving into an apartment is a few three inch screws. The latch plate and hinges generally are about one inch long and easily the main reason why the doors are so easily breached. When I remove the latch plates I also sink one screw behind the point where the actual deadbolt latch is. It ends up covered by the plate anyway and increases the strength even more. Apartment living does require a lot of forethought of your neighbors in regards to self defense though. I have my 12 gauge setup with a couple lead birdshot target loads followed by some 1500FPS steel shot for duck hunting and finally some slugs if it gets to that point but for one or two people I highly doubt it. I always carry my pistol at home unless I have decided on the rare occasion to have a few drinks or I am in the shower and it is then not far away from me and the AR is in the bedroom ready and waiting.
