Door Reinforcement & Strike Plates, handled step by step

Upgrades to the weakest points in an entry door: the strike, the hinge screws and the jamb around the deadbolt.

Typical reasons to call

  • The frame splinters when the door is shut hard.
  • Short screws hold the hinges.

How the visit goes

  • You describe the problem and the address area on the phone.
  • We confirm the likely scope, a price range and an arrival estimate.
  • On site we show identification, inspect, and agree the final price first.
  • We test the result with you and leave an itemized invoice.

What changes the price

  • Number of locks and whether they are alike.
  • Condition of the door and frame.
  • Any parts that must be ordered.

Parts and people

  • Typical parts: steel strike plates, three-inch screws, jamb reinforcement kits and door armour.
  • Callers are often houses, townhouses and ground-floor units.

Questions we hear

  • Can this be done in one visit? Usually. We bring common parts, and tell you up front if something must be ordered.
  • Will you tell me the price first? Yes. You get a range on the phone and a confirmed price on site before work begins.

Tell us the address area, the door and what you need, and we will confirm scope and price before we dispatch.
