Home security decisions rarely have one universal answer. You might want a lockable place for documents and valuables, a physical barrier for an entry door, or a way to reinforce a door jamb after a repair. These four products cover those different jobs, with listed prices from USD 11.50 to USD 305.75. The trick is matching the option to the weak point you are trying to address.
Quick Take
The clear split in this group is between safes and door hardware. The two American Security Products safes both use a DL600 electronic keypad, but they differ in weight and price. If the risk is someone forcing a door, the OnGARD bar is an active barrier for an inward-swinging residential door, while the Mag kit is a lower-priced door jamb reinforcement and repair option. Start with the job, then compare the listed prices.

Product Notes
AMERICAN SECURITY PRODUCTS EST2014 Home Security Safe (40 lbs, Cream, DL600 Keypad)
This is the highest-listed-price item in the comparison, and it is also the heavier safe of the two American Security Products models. A 40-pound safe with a cream finish and DL600 electronic keypad gives you a more substantial object to anchor your home security setup. It is listed as new. The practical trade-off is the price and the weight: if you do not need that much mass, you may be paying for heft you will have to move into place. This safe makes sense when you want the heavier choice rather than the lighter alternative.
AMERICAN SECURITY PRODUCTS EST813 Home Security Safe (16 lbs, Cream, DL600 Keypad)
This safe is the lighter counterpart in the pair, with a 16-pound body, cream finish, and DL600 electronic keypad. It is listed as new. If you want a safe that is easier to lift into a closet or office, this lower-weight option takes less effort than the heavier EST2014. Cash, documents, jewelry, and other valuables are the intended uses here, so it fits the usual household safe role. The limitation is that it does not have the same physical heft as the EST2014, which may matter if you want maximum mass in a safe.
OnGARD Door Security Products Home Invasion Security Bar
This is not a safe; it is a door-level barrier. The black OnGARD bar is compatible with inward-swinging doors and can be used on wood, concrete, stone, or tile. Its material is space-age polymer, and the listed condition is open box. If the weak point in your home is a specific entry door, this product addresses forced entry directly instead of providing a storage place. The limitation is scope: it can block a door, but it will not hold your valuables the way either American Security Products safe will.
Mag Home Security Products Door & Lock Reinforcement & Repair Kit
This kit is the lowest-listed-price entry in the group. It is a door jamb reinforcement and repair product in an antique brass material with a gold color, and it is intended for security doors. If you are working on a door jamb repair or reinforcement project, this kit gives you a low-priced project component that targets the door and lock area. The limitation is scope: it is a reinforcement and repair kit, not a complete barricade or a safe, so it will not by itself stop a forced entry or store valuables.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
- Choose the AMERICAN SECURITY PRODUCTS EST2014 if you want the heavier safe in this comparison and are comfortable with the top listed price in the group.
- Choose the AMERICAN SECURITY PRODUCTS EST813 if you want a lighter safe with a mid-level listed price.
- Choose the OnGARD security bar if the task is stopping an inward-swinging door from being forced open.
- Choose the Mag door and lock reinforcement kit if you need a door jamb repair or reinforcement project.
