Overview
Upgrades to the weakest points in an entry door: the strike, the hinge screws and the jamb around the deadbolt.
Typical situations
- You rent a ground-floor unit with an old frame.
- Short screws hold the hinges.
- You want extra security without changing the door.
Residential lock work usually falls into three groups: getting in, keeping others out, and making everyday use easier. We treat each door as its own problem and explain the options for it in plain language.
Our process
- We fit steel strikes and long screws into the stud.
- We fit jamb or door-edge armour where needed.
- We test the door and confirm it still closes easily.
Pricing factors
- Type of reinforcement.
- Frame condition.
- Whether new paint or trim is needed.
- Whether the door itself must be replaced.
Prices are discussed by phone before dispatch and confirmed on site before any work begins.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a new door?
Not always. If the door is solid and the frame is the weak part, reinforcing the frame is cheaper and effective.
Can this be done on a rental?
With the landlord's permission, yes. Reinforcement is usually a small change that does not alter the appearance much.
