Don't try the Maginot Line defense.

Quote HistoryQuoted: No good if glass. You need a security screen door or you have a weak point. Same with your windows. There is security. There is false sense of security. Choose wisely. |

Easiest way would be add some surface bolts to the door at the top and bottom.
Top one slides into the catch at the header of the frame, the bottom one typically slides down into the floor, but you will need to mount them to the door and drill a few holes in the header and 1 in the floor.

Are your french doors like most and have lots of glass in them? If so the glass is your weak point. As mentioned above, a good security film applied to the windows or a security screen door on the outside are your best options without adding more hardware to your existing doors. |

Yes, it's one of those doors with about 16 small panes of glass separated by trim.
I'll definitely be looking into security film, since somebody could easily smash one of the little window panes and reach inside to unlock the door. |

Replace the dead bolt with one that takes a key on both sides. Leave a key out of eye sight and arm reach. No smash and unlocking then. |

you wouldn't need to unlock the door, simply kick in the glass and mullions, and enter the home. storm-proof (filmed) glass doesn't help you, if i can kick the center of a 4-way mullion joint, and remove the entire glass-paned section at one time.

They're a pain in the ass to live with, but the only real way of securing a door with any glass in it.

^ That's exactly what I did. But if someone wants to break in badly enough, they'll just break in. With a pry bar and a few minutes you can go right though the flimsy exterior wall. |
