    [0048] The frame 310 may be a central information hub for all who are adapted to live in a house (not shown) and may be made of a reinforced aluminum frame or the like and is designed to absorb a lot of energy but not fail. The locking mechanism 320 may be a four-part locking mechanism 322 having a vertical deadbolt 322A and a horizontal deadbolt 322B that bolts in several directions, side to side and top to bottom. The smart door 330 may allow a view of the outside of the smart door 330 via a camera 332 and may recognize each member of the family or approved visitors to allow for keyless entry. The touch screen 340 may be a relatively large Light Emitting Diode or LED touch screen 342 visible and built into an interior facing of the smart door 330. The panic button 350 may be disposed on the outside of the smart door 340 and offers both an alarm feature 352 and an auto 911 feature 354, because of emergency security situations occurring at the entrance to the home. The drone 360 may be a mini-drone 360A or the like that may be part of the smart door 330, attached to the smart door 330, built into the smart door 330, or be somewhere separate from the smart door 330 a predetermined distance that may be approximately 15 feet away or the like. The drone 360 may be deployed to track somebody down such as an intruder or the like. The drone 360 may also be disposed on one or both sides of the inside and/or the outside of the smart door 330. The drone 360 may also operate separately from the overall system 100. The mobile app 370 may be the operating system for the smart safety door 300 and will be on a monthly fee based subscription platform that is one price for each home and shared by all residents of the home.

    [0049] As a person passes through the frame 310 of the smart safety door 300, all shared data such as grocery lists and schedules from each person are automatically synced. All information that is essential to the household will be shared by just passing through the frame 310 of the smart safety door 300. The locking mechanism 320 may be an electro-magnetic lock 324 that is disposed around a perimeter 310A of the frame 310 and one or more hinges 312, which would need a battery backup 326. A plurality of magnet blocks 328 would be disposed around the perimeter 310A of the frame 310, not the perimeter 310A of the frame 310, with 2 magnet blocks 328 or the like disposed on top of the perimeter 310A of the frame 310 and bottom of the perimeter 310A of the frame 310 and 4 magnet blocks 328 on each side of the perimeter 310A of the frame 310 and a plurality of recessed magnet blocks 328 recessed into the smart door 330 and into the frame 310. The smart safety door 300 may also accommodate multiple smart doors 330 in a single location or the like.

    [0052] The frame 310 may be made of steel or the like and is designed to absorb a lot of energy but not fail. The electromagnetic strips 380 may be disposed around the perimeter 310A of the frame 310 to secure locking the smart door 330 to the frame 310. More specifically, the electromagnetic strips 380 may be disposed an equidistance apart around the perimeter 310A of the frame 310 for a relatively more evenly secured locking of the smart door 330 to the frame 310. The additional flange 390 may be disposed around the perimeter 310A of the frame 310 and may be adapted to be secured with a plurality of fasteners 392 such as a plurality of screws 392A or the like into an adjacent wall 394 for additional security. The additional flange 390 may include a reinforced sill plate 396 secured to the additional flange 390 with a high strength epoxy 398 or the like. The additional flange 390 may be made of steel or the like and is designed to absorb a lot of energy but not fail.

    [0053] It is therefore submitted that the present invention has been shown and described in what is considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiments. It is recognized, however, that departures may be made within the scope of the invention and that obvious modifications will occur to a person skilled in the art. With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
