      That’s the standard: cheap and easy. Every lock I’ve bought since I’ve owned a house has had this. Done.

      But not enough. One of my doors was clearly kicked in for a previous owner, yet I saw long screws into the frame. That doesn’t guarantee they were there at the time but they might have.

      Regardless, the jamb is thin wood not really supported by anything. Screwing the strike plate into the framing helps, but that doesn’t keep the jamb from buckling and breaking until the door is no longer held by the strike plate. Reinforcing that jamb can make a huge difference against a standard burglar.

      How about a 60” steel reinforcement?

      Or here are some good ideas - residential doors already have some of these covered by opening inward, rather than out
