I have the same problem at times. One, either get new hinges or take the ones you have and drill a set screw to hold the pin in place. You need to put the set screw in so when the door is shut the set screw is now between the flaps of the hing. You can also buy them that way. That way they can't take the pin out of the hing and remove the door. You can also drill in the door on the hing side and drill in the door frame and put pins and or bolts. That way if the door pins are removed from the hing the door still can't be opened because the pins in the door are now in the door frame also.

Get a GOOD DOOR KNOB. I like the Baldwin door knobs. They are heavy and well built. They are worth what you have to pay for them. The cops told me about those.

I have a camera set up at my house to watch the fields for spotlighters. I get 8 hours out of a recording. I mount the camera at the window and then run a cord to the VCR with a 8 hour tape in it. On my VCR I put it on channel T2 and I can see on TV what the camera see's. Is there a place you can put a camera and a place to put the VCR that no one that comes in the room can get to? A safe, locked cabnet, a locked desk. Once they come in the room they are recorded and if they can't get to the recorder to remove the tape they are now screwed.

Let us know how things turn out.

Here is a cheap Game Cam from Walmart they run around $50-$60 dollars. They are easy to use and can even take photos in the dark with inferred flash they wont even know they have just been busted. If someone is truly getting in I'd like to not only know it but have proof of who it was. As they say a picture is worth a thousand words

Good luck

I think I got the same problem ... some guy goes into the loading shed about twice a week and packs out a flat or two of loaded ammo then cruelly replaces all those nicely boxed shells with a bunch of dirty hulls in buckets. Evidently the dogs know him pretty well cuase they don't seem to bark at him.

Put a good smear of never sieze on the door knob, then look for the dirty hand.

You have to wear that stuff off.

Good one! I hate that crap but I have a can I bought 20 years ago and still use it - although not much anymore.

My wrench twisting days are far behind me unless there is "an issue".

Don,

I served my apprenticeship under some leathernecks that liked to play games.

They put this stuff on our safty glasses, trowel handles, hard hat liners..ect

What a rotten bunch they were...lol
