Double Front Door

Page 1 of 1
Hey,
My home has just pasted the 6 ½ years old mark & has surprisingly aged well apart from the builders front double doors (painted solid MDF).

I don’t feel confident that the doors could withstand more than a few kicks, especially with only a dead lock and small top & bottom bolts on the non-handle door.
Outside of installing security screen doors is there anything else I can do/install?
The setup is a timber framed double doors with side windows. I will be replacing the entrance double doors, with sturdier solid wood doors and do have a alarm installed.

Cheers, Sitting Duck.
