No upvc door on the new place, just wood. Old wood at that.

Lots of people rent too, landlords get a bit funny about people swapping doors over.

You dont need to break the door to get in, you cam snap the cylinder in a normal lock in seconds, dont even need a pick.

Pre SHTF these are a good idea,if you have the money and are allowed to change the door, after the event if people are knocking on your door it may be too late

please explain how to snap a cyllinder lock

Not being wilfully unhelpful, but you gotta be careful what you post.

Frequently used by drug dealers to give them enough time to flush the stash should 5-0 arrive unannounced. Takes 'em ages to get through, unless you take the door frame out. You can get the same kind of thing
for a front door, it's a thick extendable pole with rubber grippers on the bottom (for carpet) which pushes up against the lock / handle of the door. Not as good as one in a hole in the ground, but less likely to enrage the landlord

As long as you cover the hole (just pull up the carpet and sink a 4 inch square by a centimetre or so, to then cover with rubber bottomed plysection that ends up being flush to the concrete base) and use carpet to cover it, then you're smooth sailing.
