Don't let that stop you from replacing the screws; how will they know? 3-1/2" deck screws in all hinges, striker, and a few run through the frame itself and puttied over are a cheap way to beef up a door.

Do it one at a time, though, so you don't have to re-hang the door.

If you want a cheap, effective alarm setup that rarely falses, get the box, the monitoring contract, a decent replica pistol and one sensor. No burglar is going to leave an expensive, easily-sold-on-the-street handgun laying on your kitchen counter, and nobody but a burglar is likely to pick it up.

If that bothers you, try a couple $20s on a table with a motion sensor hooded to only detect motion within a foot of the cash.

I'd bet on either of these tripping the alarm sooner than your entry/exit delayed doors would.
