    Short screws are common here, in kits of new hardware. I replace with longer, to fully penetrate casing; exterior doors longer yet into the framing.

    Exterior and basement doors also get pinned; pressing a spring pin into the fixed side, a clearance hole on the other. With a double cylinder deadbolt, door becomes difficult to get out; even with hinge pins removed.
