> 24 hourI bought two door bulls. It was everything I expected. The only problem is the screws that came with the kit was too soft. I stripped 2 of them and broke one. Install took longer due to stripped screw heads and one screw breaking passed half way into the wood. Had to buy higher grade screws as a replacement to this. For the price I paid I expect the screws to be stronger. Would have given 5 stars if the screws are better.

> 24 hourI have these on all of my exterior doors. They lock the door up TIGHT and feel very secure. I have tested it by really ‘putting my shoulder into it’ trying to break the door in from outside and the door does not even flinch a bit. I have kicked in many doors so I know how to do it. I wouldn’t say these are 100% foolproof but for standard use and an extra layer of security these are a very simple & non-obtrusive solution that works.

> 24 hourI actually got this for my toddler who likes to run outside when Im not near the door. After running through the neighborhood half-dressed in a towel dripping wet from a partial shower a time or two I figured it was time to find something that could stop him. It works amazing and the peace of mind it brings knowing no ones getting in either is great! We have installed it in two different homes now and have not had a single problem with it at all!

> 24 hourOnce I installed this device, along with several superior long screws, I find that with my normal deadbolt and this device, that it would take a pretty strong assault to gain entry. I feel confident that a simple 200 pound kick will not gain entry. Ive had to kick doors in, and usually the side molding and small screws into the 2 X 4 framing is what gives way. This clearly distributes the weight in a much wider (leverage) manner will require a much more vigorous assault to gain entry. A little pricey in my opinion but is far superior to another deadbolt or comparative assembly.

> 24 hourLets face it locks are for honest people and if someone wants to get in your house they will. What your really trying to do is buy time and this device will do that. I have glass on either side of my door which looks great but makes it easy for any would be theft. This device installed above the dead bolt and regular lock will add the additional problems for anyone tryng to jam the door open. The extra long screws to use in the hinges is also a great idea. Bottom line easy to install, very sturdy, if your looking for added security you found it.

> 24 hourTook me around 5 to 10 min to install (recommend to watch youtube video). Excellent design, light weight, and very sturdy. Comes with all the required hardware and drill bit. 10X efficient than the dead bolt. Fell much safer. Very happy with the purchase.

> 24 hourI bought this late last year and only recently got around to opening the box and installing it only to realize that the bracket you put the plate on when not in use is missing. Its been too long to return so Im reaching out to the seller to see if they will do anything to help me out. As for the install, I found that I couldnt close the door with the set screw in place so I had to do my adjustment with the door open but it came out alright. I didnt find the mounting hardware overly cheap but I suggest using a hand tool to install the screws (after drilling the holes) because they looked like they might strip out with a screw attachment on a drill. Ill update this review when I find out if the seller is willing to fix the missing part. Update - I reached out to the seller and a day later they contacted me and offered to send me the missing part. With that kind of service they earned more stars.

> 24 hourPROS: - Installation relatively simple, under the right conditions. - Extremely non-invasive option. Sleek / smart design. - Very good option for doors with limited space. - Should provide occupants with more time to protect themselves. - May deter the vast majority of intruders due to increased time and effort needed to gain entry. - The hanger is a good idea and helps to keep the device available at all times. - Installation can lead to awareness of other potential weak spots (that would otherwise go unnoticed) CONS: - The price point is slightly high. Worth the investment, but may deter some from purchasing. - Screws provided strip far too easily. Do not use them. - Dependent on integrity of door installation. - Calculating installation depth of base can be tricky. - Can require a higher than average aptitude for construction. - Only works for in-swinging doors. This is not a big deal, but is important to know. - The makers of this device need to have more videos available showing the capabilities of their product. Many other devices have videos from various sources testing them. This one does not. The lack of sponsored and independent test videos almost prevented me from purchasing the device. RECOMMENDATIONS: - If you have an older home, or are not handy (in terms of construction) get an experienced person (friend, family member, trusted handyman) to install it for you. - Use star-head screws purchased from hardware store (or Amazon!). This is an absolute MUST! - You will need a relatively powerful drill. - Watch YouTube videos and install 3 - 4 screws into hinge-side of door as well. Use caution, this can alter the doors ability to close properly. MY EXPERIENCE: Thankfully, I have some experience in home improvement and construction. I installed The Door Bull on two of my entry doors. The front door went relatively smoothly. I did notice, that if you have the means and desire that a person could install more than one of these to a door, potentially increasing the effectiveness. When I went to install it to my metal garage side entry door (a door I thought was the most secure in my home), I found that it was improperly installed and very vulnerable to blunt force. I had to remove the trim and place additional wood in the gap between the door frame and the wall stud. I then had to use 4 screws to ensure a solid connection from the frame to the stud. This is not a knock on the Door Bull. In fact, I was able to correct the problem because of the Door Bull. Now, that door is very secure. This device will not prevent entry into your home. It may effectively slow entry and/or deter entry. I have recommended it to my family members and friends.

> 24 hourExcellent product for doors with wood posts. It comes with hardware/screws and also a wall mount holder to safely store when not in use. I had metal posts and I was not handy enough to install it on metal posts and hence returned it. It works perfectly well on wood door posts and if you know how to drill steel and use machine screws, it would work perfectly on metal posts also.

> 24 hourAs almost everyone else has said, the product is well done and works well. The included screws stripped out almost immediately. Do yourself a favor and go buy three, 3-inch stainless steel screws at the hardware store and use them instead. Four stars because I think for the price they should include better screws.
