bolt it down to something solid.

Record your valuables serial numbers and keep pictures of them for insurance purposes;they require PROOF you actually owned them for any claim.

even with a steel door,the door FRAME is then the weak point. But those can be reinforced.

Then you need a deadbolt lock that is "Bump key" proof.

then address the windows and patio doors. Patio doors are a common point of entry. Doors to a garage,too. Often thieves will break into a car,and use the remote to open the garage door and then can force the inner door to the house at their leisure.
