Reddit mentions of Flip Guard Door Lock

So, the usual: make sure the house is stocked enough with food/water to last X time

We all know bugging in better than bugging out.

And the fun stuff, security film on windows, steel core door(s), Deadbolt flip guard, shotgun she's trained to use, etc, I would add one caveat.

Anything which activates you is probably pretty serious. So I'd have a series of rules built.

Ie: if I'm activated and shit is ok-ish. I'll let ya know. That's code green.

Then up it: if you don't hear from me tune into X reporting. Avoid the news, use subscribed Intel feeds. That was you avoid pointless bias and commentary and you get facts.

Up It again, if the country goes full retard then leave and go to X location. Which you'll know to rendezvous at. And a secondary, and even a tertiary location.

Not that it'll probably come to it. But having, and executing a plan keeps people calm.

And build methods of egress. Just saying, "go to your Mom in Washington state." Doesn't help if there's a Sept 11th and planes are grounded and cars rentals get swamped in hours, and you didn't leave enough money for gas to get there. So build a plan to execute the plan.

People tend to freeze in place when they can't communicate with loved ones. But knowing there's predefined locations you can always find her at, it eases people's minds (yours and hers) and allows for rational thinking.

But mostly the bug in thing. Make the home an inconspicuous fortress and life is automatically better. It's a tad pricey but even security grade hurricane shutters are awesome.

They do amazing work with them now. They're strong as hell, automatic, and completely hidden until deployed.

The deadbolt itself is hardly a concern for somebody kicking in your door.

For front door security, you need a few things:

• Nightlock floor-mounted barricade
  
• Two entry stops along your lock side door jamb
  
• Door jamb armor kit
  
• Deadbolt flip guard
  
  Assuming you have a solid core door and use at least 3" nails screws (oops) to install everything (pre-drill pilot holes so you don't split your frame/jamb), that door will be straight up zombie apocalypse proof. Somebody would have to use explosives to get it open.
  
  This is pretty much how I did my front door, so I've bought and installed these and can attest to their solid...ness. There are also a lot of youtube videos showing how well they work alone, let alone together.

This seems to be activated once you're inside your home but not when you leave your home. Am I correct? If so there are several other products on the market that will do just this. 1, 2, 3, 4

If someone is actually lockpicking your door you can bet that they'll make sure they do it when you're not home. Either that, or they are dumb as hell. (Taking into account that theft isn't dumb as hell in the first place)

Also - $99? What a ripoff.
