Wooden Doorjambs

When you lock your door at night you may be surprised to know what you are sending that case harden solid steel bolt throw into.    

Few realize the many different ways a doorjamb is constructed the photo below is made up of multiple square pieces of wood glued together to form the jamb. Other methods are finger jointing where several short sections of wood are glued together and others are solid wood. Once the door is painted you can not tell which jamb you have.   If all you want is for a door to open and close that all work.  But don't expect the jamb to equal the one inch solid steel deadbolt throw which enters just 1/2 inch away from the inside of your home. Each hole drilled for the locks, strike plates and hinges weakens the jamb even more. For security each must be reinforced. www.kikgard.com .
