📞 Call nowWhen should you consider door reinforcement?
Door reinforcement is recommended whenever your home or business security no longer matches the real risk you face:
🚨 After a break-in attempt
Forced door, ripped frame or signs of crowbarring — immediate reinforcement drastically reduces the risk of a second attempt.
🏚️ Old or lightweight door
A standard wooden door with a single-point lock can be forced open in under 10 seconds. Reinforcement changes that completely.
📋 Insurance requirement
Your insurer may require a minimum security level (A2P*, EN standards) to maintain theft coverage. We know the common benchmarks.
🔑 Moving into a new property
A full security audit on arrival — ideally combined with a lock replacement so you start fresh.
📦 Overall security upgrade
Ground-floor flat, high-risk area, or high-value contents to protect — preventive reinforcement is more cost-effective than a claim.
🏢 Business or commercial premises
Offices, shops, warehouses — reinforcement adapted to heavy-duty doors and multiple access points.
If your door has already been forced and you're locked out, our 24/7 door opening service responds first — reinforcement comes right after.

🔍 On-site security audit
Full assessment of the door, frame, strike plate and cylinder. We identify weak points and recommend solutions that fit your budget — no upselling.
🛡️ Steel plates on the door leaf
Reinforced steel plates fitted on the panel, covering the lock area and hinges — resistant to kicking, crowbarring and shearing.
🔩 Frame and strike plate reinforcement
Heavy-duty hardened steel strike plate, frame corner reinforcements, long screws anchored into the masonry — prevents the frame from being kicked in.
📐 Anti-crowbar strips
Steel profiles along the edges and top of the door — block any gap where a crowbar could be inserted between door and frame.
🔐 High-security cylinder
Anti-pick, anti-drill and anti-bump cylinder with a key ownership card — an essential complement to any reinforcement. See cylinder replacement.
🚪 Full armoured door (on quote)
If the existing door is too degraded to reinforce, we supply and fit a certified armoured door unit — clean installation, matched to your hallway finish.

Should I reinforce my existing door or replace it entirely?
It depends on the condition of your door. If the panel is solid and the frame is intact, partial reinforcement (steel plates, anti-crowbar strips, high-security cylinder) is usually sufficient and far more affordable. If the door is warped, hollow-core or simply too lightweight, a full certified armoured door is the better long-term investment. We assess both options during the free on-site audit.
Does reinforcement work on wooden, PVC and metal doors?
Yes. We adapt the solution to the material: steel plates bolted onto wood, profiled reinforcements on PVC, welded or bolted strips on metal frames. The on-site audit determines the best fixing method for your specific door.
My insurance requires a specific security standard. Can you meet it?
Yes. We are familiar with the most common benchmarks (A2P*, EN 1303, resistance classes RC2/RC3) and can guide your choice based on your policy's requirements. We recommend verifying the exact conditions with your insurer before the work begins.
Will reinforcement damage my door or frame?
No — in the vast majority of cases. The plates are fitted cleanly, the finish is neat and the anti-crowbar strips blend discreetly into the frame. For a full armoured door replacement, installation does not damage the surrounding masonry.
Do I need to replace the lock at the same time?
Almost always, yes. Reinforcing the door without upgrading the cylinder just shifts the weak point. We always pair a high-security cylinder with any reinforcement job — anti-pick, anti-drill, anti-bump, with a key ownership card.
Can you respond as an emergency after a break-in?
Yes, 24/7. After a break-in attempt, we first secure the door (emergency opening if needed, lock repair or temporary boarding if required), then plan the permanent reinforcement.
How long does door reinforcement installation take?
Partial reinforcement (plates, strips, cylinder): 2 to 4 hours. Full armoured door replacement: 4 to 8 hours depending on the configuration and access.
