This is going to be strengthened with a crossbar to bring it back in.
The deadlock is really more a visual deterrent as will be the alarm box and warning signs. If someone wants to get in for reasons other than theft then it won't really take much to get inside the house... 5-10 good kicks to the door or a rock through the front window.
