The material of your door should be build out of very tough materials, and maybe even have an internal cover plate to reinforce its strength. Aside from these, your door may need an external steel plate to shield it from blows, especially around the door lock itself. Your door frame should be pretty durable too, meaning it cannot be easily broken or wrecked by an intruder. The door frame must also be difficult to take apart by being fixed against the wall.
The door locks you choose should be selected based on the type of door you are using and how much you can pay for your door locks. It would be ideal if you can get a minimum of two door locks, which can not be easily opened by lockpicks or simply broken to allow entry to intruders. The electronic locks can complement use of standard door locks. You should situate your access panels for the keyless door locks you choose at a safe distance from openings like ventilation shafts.

I absolutely agree that it is very important to invest in quality door locks and do all that you can to ensure that your home is as safe as possible. While you mentioned that you should invest in a quality door lock before a security system, I think it's also important to invest a quality home security system. Any quality home security system should come backed with guarantees such as a performance warranty, an equipment warranty, an emergency service guarantee, a satisfaction guarantee and a false alarm fine guarantee.
The false alarm fine guarantee is especially important because over 98% of all burglar alarms are false. Police are getting very frustrated with having to respond to multiple false alarms and many are issuing fines to homes that call in multiple false alarms. There is also a growing trend towards requiring verified response. This means that many police departments are requiring some sort of verification for them to respond to a burglar alarm at all. This makes it very important to invest in a system that offers verification so that the police can trust they are responding to an actual burglary.
