And what it represents is supposed to be across with an open Bible down below. And yet you can are you a lot of people have told me these stories that that's it there's the cross and the open book. In -- the idea was that it would help protect your home through the safety of the cross and the Bible.

Meeting -- fiber board does have good screw holding ability however to the novice who doesn't understand how to -- pre drill the door. And put the screws in there can be a problem especially the screws go in on a number of times which does happen in building a home because he kicked the door offered.
