This letter is from a police officer: In my search for possibly looking to spend $1000 or more on a good safe door the StrikeMaster II was the smart alternative. I don't anticipate anyone trying to break into my home through the front door, but if they try I feel confident they'll have a very difficult time succeeding. Included is a photo of me and the StrikeMaster II installed on my front door.
Once I found out that the two strike plates simply fit atop one another the installation was simple. Just align the plates with the door lock holes, mark the door frame with a pencil, put the 1st screw in the top hole, the 2nd screw in the bottom hole, then easily screw in the remaining screws to secure, but not too tight. Simple…
As a San Antonio police officer, I've seen plenty of doors kicked in. This StrikeMaster II is the $100 alternative to spending thousands of dollars for the same concept of keeping someone from being able to kick in your door. I'm glad I found your web site. - J. A. Foster

This letter is from a former police officer: I am a retired Chief of Police with more than 30 years in law enforcement and security and have investigated 1000's of residential burglaries and domestic assaults that were due to the crashing or kicking in of the doors at the home. .... I am proud to announce that I have seen an amazing new product called the StrikeMaster II. This is inexpensive and stronger than any would-be homicidal maniac, I promise... the security market has finally produced a product that is better than locks and alarms. I highly recommend this product on all your outside doors at your home. - Donald Purnell CLL, CFE, Director of Security, Sentry Watch, Inc.

As Production Manager of the Discovery Channel series "It Takes a Thief" I've seen a lot of home security products and I must tell you that your StrikeMaster II is one of the most exciting we've had the privilege of featuring on our program.
Our Thief puts every piece of security equipment we install to the ultimate test ... and I must say that he certainly is not going through any door secured by the StrikeMaster II! - Jesse Sheppard, Production Manager "It Takes a Thief"

I had them installed (2) strikemasters on my front and back doors. As you know, I've had my house broken into two times.The first time the crooks broke in my front door and within a 2 or 3 minutes had stolen over $4000.00 worth of my personal items. The next time they broke in my back door and took and additional $2000.00 worth of items, and this time they were not in the house more than two minutes. Both times my alarm went off and the police arrived. But in that short period of time that were able to take that much. Now I have the strikemasters installed, and just as the reporting police officer said… “The key to preventing the break-ins… to prevent the crooks from breaking in….!” If I had known about your product earlier I know I would have not been a victim.. - L. Carter, Atlanta, Ga.

This letter is from a police officer & the Hamilton Township Police Department, NJ: I have been a consultant in the area of Crime Prevention for 18 years, and your StrikeMaster II is the first new product designed to provide physical perimeter protection that I would wholly and unconditionally endorse.- Jesse Thatcher, Senior Crime Prevention Aide

Thank you for sending me the StrikeMaster II for inclusion in my recent TV makeover shoot. My general contractor installed it easily and very quickly - so quickly that our cameras could have easily missed the action! – and our homeowners feel much safer knowing their basement entry is so sturdily reinforced. - Sarah K. Tautin, Associate Producer, It Takes a Thief

Thank you for your call this morning. It went on very easily even after piecing the jamb back together on our son’s door. We are satisfied that we have done what we can in that situation (short of installing a brand new door on a landlord’s property) and pray that we can avoid another break-in. We certainly appreciate your advice and speedy mailing of the Strikemaster II to us. I am forwarding your site address to a number of business folks who rent to students with the hope that they will take steps to protect their young renters. -Linda Dobbs
My husband and I had the Strikemaster System installed the last week of December 2007. I thought at the time that it was a good product. Just a little extra protection for your home is always a good investment.
On February 5, 2008- just 5 weeks later- I was at home with my 19-month-old daughter at 9:15 a.m., when someone attempted to kick my door in. After I established that the coast was clear, I discovered that the attempt was not successful due to the protective reinforcement that the StrikeMaster System gives. I instantly became more than just a mild believer in this product. I feel that it kept me from having a bad experience of defending my daughter, myself and my home. I strongly urge anyone looking for home protection to get the Strikemaster System installed. - J. Villa, Fayetteville, NC
“About 10:00 AM in the morning, in broad daylight, my front door was kicked open and TVs and VCR's were taken. I now have StrikeMasters on all my doors. I truly believe if I had had StrikeMasters before, it would have stopped or deterred the thieves." - H. Britinger

On the 16th of May, 2005, our home in Chicago was broken into by thieves who shouldered/kicked their way in, through 3 separate doors, one entry and two apartments. A considerable amount of valuables and memorabilia were stolen, including identity theft. Upon observing the 'ease' of entry by these thieves, we set about investigating door protection measures on the internet.
After observing the very graphic video on the we ordered the StrikeMaster II, with the caveat that we would do a 'real-life' test after installation. My installer naturally had his doubts, as I asked him to kick and shoulder the door, after the product was installed. He asked me who would pay for the door frame repair 'in case it didn't work as advertised,' I said I would be responsible, since the safety of our family and property was of utmost concern. I weigh in at 240 lbs and I 'shouldered/kicked' the door three times, without it's failing. My installer, who closely approximates the LARGE individual in the graphic video, had at the door next. He shouldered it twice and kicked it last, his size 11 shoe imprint is still on the back door, although the wall seemed to 'bow in,' the door did not budge. My installer came away convinced, and I came away satisfied, that I made my Family and my Home that much more secure.
The cost/benefit ratio as well is definitely in favor of the StrikeMaster II in comparison with other devices currently on the market. To say that we are more than pleased with the results we obtained from the product, as well as it's support, would be an accurate assessment. -APA Chicago
This letter is from a former police officer: I had the Strikemaster II installed. It only took about 35 to 40 minutes. I have jamb extensions on my front door (don't ask) so that took just a bit more time. The door shuts and locks easily. The precut areas for the deadbolt and doorknob were exact. The StrikeMaster II blends into the white door jam and is not readily noticed. I do like the product, almost too simple. - Scott Shaper - former Police Officer and Author
"I was staying up until three or four in the morning fearing a break-in. My first night with StrikeMaster I felt safe enough I went to bed by eleven PM. Thank you!" - C. Tucker
"The quality of the workmanship and product have allowed me to rest better knowing that someone would have difficulty breaking in the door ....... I would highly recommend the StrikeMaster to anyone wanting to insure the safety of their home or business." - E. Schultz, D.C.
"A well placed kick is backed with hundreds of pounds of pressure. I have been breaking in the martial arts for over 30 years, and I have never seen a security device withstand force like the Strike Master II. You have certainly developed a product that I have no qualms putting my name and my school behind. The Strike Master II is a high quality product that anyone with a home can use!" - Steve Mathews, Steve Mathew's Chinese Martial Arts Center
"My home in Birch Creek was burglarized and the thief or thieves kicked in my front door and made off with over $5000.00 in personal property plus $1000.00 in damage to my door. At this time my home was equipped with a very sophisticated security system valued at $3600.00 ... Had I had the StrikeMaster II on my doors last November, I am confident the break-in at my home would never have occurred. I highly recommend the StrikeMaster II to anyone concerned with the security of his or her home and the safety of his or her family." - Ron Edenfield, General Manager, Rick Hendricks Toyota Jeep/Eagle
