Secure the Opening Quickly
Experiencing a break-in is traumatic. Your first priority—and ours—is making sure your home or business is physically secure and lockable again as quickly as possible. iProtect Locksmith provides emergency break-in repair across the GTA.
When a door is kicked in or pried open, the damage is rarely limited to just the lock. We inspect the lock, latch, deadbolt, hinges, and the entire wood or steel frame before recommending the best repair strategy.
Break-In Repair Services
- Frame Reinforcement: Repairing split door jambs using extended, heavy-duty strike plates and 3-inch screws anchored directly into the wall studs.
- Hardware Replacement: Comparing replacement deadbolts by documented forced-entry resistance, key control, door compatibility, and installation requirements.
- Immediate Rekeying: Ensuring that any keys stolen during the burglary cannot be used to return later.
- Temporary Securing: If the door or frame is completely destroyed and requires custom parts or a full replacement, we will secure the opening temporarily so you can sleep safely until the permanent repair is completed.
Clear Next Steps
We focus on restoring your security immediately. Once the door is locked and the property is safe, we will explain any longer-term door or frame repairs that might be beneficial, providing clear, upfront pricing every step of the way.
Frequently Asked Questions
My front door frame was split open during a break-in. Do I need a whole new door?
In most cases, no. We can repair the splintered wood and install heavy-duty, wrap-around security plates and extended strike plates. This repairs the damage and makes the door significantly stronger than it was before.
How do I arrange urgent securing after a burglary?
Call after contacting emergency services when appropriate. We will ask whether the opening can close or lock, then provide a current availability estimate based on location, travel conditions, damage, and the materials required.
Can you rekey my locks if the burglars stole my spare keys?
Yes, absolutely. If your keys were stolen, we will immediately rekey all exterior locks to a brand new key, instantly rendering the stolen keys useless.
