Is there something I can buy to prevent hinge pins from being removed on an exterior door that swings out so that the door is more secure from break ins?

Huh ok thanks. I didn't realize it was the hinge itself. I was thinking hinge pin. Thanks!

Only solution I know of is to replace the hinges with ones where the hinge pin is not removable.

I'd just look into adding some security studs and calling it a day.

Most out swing doors are patio doors with lots of glass, ready enough access as is, security studs makes the glass more attractive as getting the entire door of takes more work now.

You can get screws that go in the hinges that will keep the closed door from being removed even when the hinge pin is out.
