You can get hinge pins which have a set screw on the inside. One of the simplistic ideas is to use one of the poles which go from the door knob to the flooor at an angle .....surpriseingly effective.....don’t kid your self though, doing a lot of demo work has shown me I can get through most entrance very quickly if I want to, don’t care about noise and have the proper hand tools.

All I need is something to slow them down, by the time they’re in I’ll be ready. Even with power tools it will give me time to get prepared.

You can purchase a bulletin resistant door. I’ve installed them on variorum Fed. Agency Offices. You will also need 4 pair of ball bearing butts and a stout frame. By the way, they are heavy as heck, you will need some help.

I know. Was just imagining someone trying to sledge hammer a giant steel plate down.
