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.

Our West Vancouver target hardening process

1) Free on-site assessment: door, frame, strike, hinges, and cylinder evaluated against ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 standards. 2) Written quote with line-item pricing. 3) Install on the same visit when possible: deadbolt, strike, frame plate, hinge screws, and cylinder upgrade. 4) Demonstration: technician shows how the hardened door responds to forced-entry pressure before sign-off.

► Good to know

West Vancouver target hardening locksmith questions, answered.

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.
