Question:

How big does the conductor of a lightning rod have to be so that it is guaranteed never to explode?

Could you also tell me the best heights to protect different size areas with just one rod?How big, how deep for ground conductor? and what metal? stainless?If you could, please give me examples of different ways to build them other than just ordinary spikes shooting from the ground.

Answer:

Pregnancy not relevant. What did you do to the door or door frame to be able to break in? That's important to know; if you made changes to the alignment of parts, they may not be able to secure the door anymore. It would help to know if we're talking about a deadbolt (used only for securing the door), a night latch (looks like a big regular bolt but has the slope so it's locked by closing the door), or a locking doorknob. Google each of those for pictures of what I'm talking about. The bolt of the lock should be able to extend all the way. On a good deadbolt that usually means an inch or so. That generally means the key turns 90 degrees or more, then the bolt stays put while you turn the key back to its starting position to remove it. It's possible to tighten things too much. If your deadbolt is cheap you can tighten the screws so much that internal parts flex out of alignment, and the mechanism binds before it's engaged the latchplate on the door frame. That's a place to start. There are too many variables to be able to address this without pictures or, preferably, video.
Read the Instruction that came with the lock the part that locks the door comes in two size you could be right the plunger can be adjusted good luck
