A wooden door is 45mm thick and your screws hold for their full length. If the door is made of hardwood and a good lock with the correct screws... bingo the crook will bounce back..........

And plastic doors have a lot of other weaknesses that wood does not..

Plastic are easy and trendy but strong NEVER................(well £1200 on an Angian door is quite good) But still not a patch on a good lump of wood..
Errr how come my name got a mention here simon??? I wouldn't and haven't questioned your security authority!!!!!
