I can say this as fact , the back door of THIS OLD HOUSE is about as break in Proof as they come . Many years back i came home on a Tuesday evening and was wolfen down supper and told the War Dept that i needed to run to tractor supply and get a new pair of winter gloves for the sale the next morning and happened to asked if she had heard from my grandmother ,War Dept. stops and thinks for a second and said NO not since Sunday evening . Grandma Always called to complain about something or needed this or that . I finished up supper and said i was going to swing by the house it was only a little out of the way . You could set your clock by what time of the day it was by what lights were on in Grandma house . As i was coming up the street i did not see the living room lights on or the one light in the dining room . This is not good . So i pulled in and went to the pantry door as i had a key for it and got in BUT the door to the kitchen was LOCKED with and old fashioned style lock that used one of them old keys . I pounded on the door and got no response and the key was still in the lock from the inside . I tried the kick the door in thing , NOPE then we tried the hit it for all your worth shoulder deal five times and bounced off five times . to get in i had to resort to the tool box and take the knob off and face plate and with two pair of vice grips reach in with the needle nose ones and grab the end of the key and with the second pair in the shaft i got the door open and inside getting lights turned on and found her out cold between the bath tub and wall . She was still alive call the paramedics and may dad , War Dept to go get my gloves and bring them to the Hospitle . The ER dr. said she was a bit dehydrated and a nasty bump on the head and they were going to keep her a couple days . So i go to get four hours sleep before i had to go to the sale . That old back door and it's frame work is as tough as steel . I ended up with this old house and the wood in this house is hard on modern day tools when one trys to drill or cut.
