Ms. Manthei stated that all the training she has received and all the experts that she has been trained by, ali recommend a minimum of a 1 " throw on all deadbolts. The contention of the Police Oepartment is that the more of the deadbolt that throws into the wood and frame. along with a strong strike piate, wouid hold more ferce. Ouane �indstrom from the A-! Lock Service. who has worked with the National Crime Association and the St. Paul Crime Association. suggested that the Fire Department should be more concerned about the strike plate, and ctosing up the gaps between door and the frame. rather than the locks. Ms . Manthei stated that a combination of the length of the screw, strike plate and deadbolt, that this would make it a stronger deadbolt lock. Duane Lindstrom stated that the most imp�rtant thing for- a stronger deadbolt wouid be the strikz plate and closing the gap in the door. Wiiliam Til�on reque=ted that Pat Fish and Officer Manthei work together to come up with some information/stats on deadbolts.
