Security Plates

Security Plate Benefits
Explore the key features that make our security solutions effective, reliable, and built to last.
Reinforced Strike Plates
3″ hardened‑steel screws bite deep into studs, resisting 1 000 lbs of kick‑in force.
Wrap‑Around Jamb Shields
One‑piece U‑channel covers the lock area of the frame, stopping split‑wood failures.
Latch Guards & Anti‑Pry Plates
Interlocking flanges block crowbars and credit‑card shims from the latch side.
Break‑In Resistance
Independent laboratory tests show that a door fortified with Window Guard security plates can endure more than three times the kick, pry, and ram force that overwhelms standard builder‑grade strike boxes. The plates distribute impact across the full jamb and hinge area, preventing the splintering that usually lets deadbolts shear free in a burglary.
Cost‑Effective Upgrades
A full steel security door can cost thousands and usually requires extra welding, masonry work, or trim replacement. Retrofitting strike and jamb plates achieves similar stopping power for a fraction of the price, using your existing door slab, hinges, and trim with zero structural demolition.
Fast, Clean Installation
Most single doors are reinforced in fifteen to thirty minutes. Technicians remove the old strike, drill pilot holes into structural studs, and set three‑inch hardened screws through the new plate. No frame tear‑out, drywall dust, or repainting is needed, so your entry is back in service the same afternoon.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find quick answers to common questions about our products, services, and installations.
What are security plates Toronto property owners install?
Security plates Toronto homes and businesses rely on are heavy-duty steel covers that protect the weakest parts of a door. They reinforce the strike plate, latch area, and hinges to help prevent forced entry. Installing them is one of the home security tips many experts recommend because they add strength to the door frame and make break-ins much harder.
What is a door security plate?
A door security plate is a steel shield installed around the locks and latches area. It strengthens the door frame and supports the strike plate so the wood does not split under pressure.
What is a reinforcement plate and how does it work?
A reinforcement plate is a solid steel plate secured with long screws that anchor deep into wall studs. This spreads impact across the frame and reduces the risk of break-ins.
How do security plates help stop forced entry?
During a forced entry attempt, most doors fail near the strike plate. A reinforcement plate distributes the force of kicks or prying, making the frame much harder to break.
Will installing a new strike plate affect how my door closes?
No. Each strike plate is carefully aligned to match your existing lock. Your door will close and latch smoothly without extra pressure.
Do I need to replace my existing locks?
In many cases, no. If your current lock is in good condition, it can stay. The door security plate strengthens the frame around it. We can upgrade your lock if added security is requested.
Can security plates be installed on metal or fiberglass doors?
Yes. Our security plates Toronto team installs are suitable for wood, metal, and fiberglass doors. We use proper hardware designed for each material.
How long does installation take?
Most residential installations are completed within one hour. The process is clean and efficient, with no major structural changes.
Are these plates suitable for commercial properties?
Absolutely. Retail stores and offices often face a higher risk of forced entry. A reinforced strike plate and reinforcement plate add valuable protection after business hours.
Are fire-code compliant options available?
Yes. We provide approved hardware solutions for panic bars and fire exits. Your doors remain secure while meeting Ontario building and fire safety codes.
