You can also shoot the lock.

Or mule kick the door. That's why I have 3 deadbolts on each door when I vacay.

One top and one center and one base. With 5 inch screws on all receivers. Not a stop just a hindrance.

Seems a bit overkill tbh

Seriously. I'm a locksmith and I'll tell people straight up, if someone really wants to get into your house they'll break a window. One lock or 20, won't make a difference. It obviously can't hurt, and if it helps you sleep at night then go for it.

Don't forget to let a small light on that doesn't consume much power.

Paranoid much?
... That is unless you live in an area that is actually required to not be stolen from and/or have your house broken into.
