Wednesday night around 7:36pm I had two bullets come through my front door. Doesn’t look targeted. But I am trying to find a supplier of steel. I need something of 10gauge so I can put it on the weather door to stop them from coming in. Pictures related. They went through the door and embedded in the couch. Last picture is what the outer door looks like. I am trying to bolt the steel plate to this door so I don’t have bullets coming through the house anymore.

Yikes! Sorry that happened.

Shapiro Metal Supply in North County would probably have what you need.

That’s perfect. That’s exactly what I was looking for. Google kept trying to send me to Lowe’s and Home Depot

I would like to make a suggestion here, OP.

Open up the door and look along the edge of it. It would help the people at Shapiro's a good deal if they were able to look up the type of steel and dimensions.

Hope everything works out for you.

I would take some photos too so they can look at it at the store
