Target hardening service in West Vancouver

Target hardening in West Vancouver is the upgrade work that turns an average door into one that resists kick-in attacks for 60+ seconds — the threshold most opportunistic burglars give up at. Full per-door hardening package runs $280-$680 and includes Grade 1 deadbolt $120-$220, strike-plate reinforcement with 3-inch screws $40-$80, longer hinge screws $20-$40, frame reinforcement plate $40-$90, and optional high-security Mul-T-Lock or Medeco cylinder upgrade $60-$120. Service to Ambleside, Dundarave, and British Properties.

West Vancouver target hardening upgrades

Layered defence — strike, frame, hinge, cylinder. Each layer adds 10-30 seconds of attack resistance.

Grade 1 Deadbolt — $120-$220

ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 deadbolt with 1-inch throw, hardened steel insert, and pick-resistant cylinder. Tested to 10 strikes from a 75-lb battering ram.

Strike-Plate Reinforcement — $40-$80

Heavy-gauge strike plate with four 3-inch screws into the frame stud. Increases kick-in resistance by 30-60 seconds versus stock 3/4-inch screws.

Frame Reinforcement Plate — $40-$90

Wrap-around steel plate around the lock and strike on West Vancouver wood-frame doors. Distributes kick force across 12+ inches of frame instead of a 1-inch hole.

High-Security Cylinder — $60-$120

Mul-T-Lock MT5+ or Medeco M3 cylinder. Bump-, pick-, and drill-resistant. Restricted keyway prevents unauthorized duplication.

West Vancouver target hardening FAQ

How much does a full target-hardening package cost in West Vancouver?

A complete per-door package — Grade 1 deadbolt, reinforced strike, frame plate, longer hinge screws, and high-security cylinder — runs $280-$680 in West Vancouver including hardware, labour, and 2 keys cut on-site. Most front doors hardened in 90-120 minutes.

Why are 3-inch strike screws important?

Stock 3/4-inch screws only bite into the door jamb, which is just trim. Three-inch screws reach the frame stud behind the jamb and resist kick-in attacks for 30-60 seconds longer — often the difference between a defeated door and an entry.

Will hardening still let me unlock my door normally?

Yes. Target hardening adds resistance to forced entry but does not change how the lock operates. Your key, deadbolt thumbturn, and (if installed) smart-lock keypad work exactly as before.

Can you harden a West Vancouver sliding patio door too?

Yes. Sliding-door hardening — auxiliary foot lock, anti-lift pin, and security bar — runs $80-$220 per door. We harden front, side, garage interior, and patio doors in West Vancouver on the same visit.
