What target hardening actually covers

Target hardening turns a typical exterior door — which a determined burglar can kick open in under 30 seconds — into a 5+ minute obstacle that rarely gets attempted. The standard package runs $400-$1,500 per door, takes 2-4 hours, and combines four upgrades: a Mul-T-Lock or Medeco high-security multi-point lock cylinder, a Don-Jo reinforced strike plate with 3-inch screws into the stud, a Birmingham Bar frame reinforcement spanning the strike side of the jamb, and security film on adjacent glass.

Our 4-step process

First, an on-site assessment — we walk every exterior door, check the existing strike plate screws, frame condition, hinge security, and adjacent glass. Then a written quote with each line item priced. Next, install — typically 2-4 hours per door, all parts in the van, no trips back to the shop. Finally, a final walkthrough — every key tested, every reinforcement shown working, and a printed handover sheet listing every cylinder, strike plate, and frame reinforcement installed plus the lifetime warranty terms.

► Good to know

Vancouver locksmith questions, answered.

How much does target hardening cost per door?+
$400-$1,500 per door depending on the existing hardware and how much reinforcement the door needs. A solid hardwood door with a steel frame is the cheaper end; a hollow-core door with a soft pine jamb needs frame work and lands at the upper end.
Will my home insurance cover this?+
Most BC home insurers offer a 5-15% premium discount for documented target hardening on all exterior doors. We provide a printed installation sheet you submit to your insurer. Some policies require Mul-T-Lock or Medeco specifically for the discount.
How long does the work take?+
2-4 hours per door for the full package (cylinder, strike, Birmingham Bar, and security film). Most homes have 2-3 exterior doors so the whole job is one day.
Can you do just the strike plate without changing the lock?+
Yes. The Don-Jo reinforced strike plate alone runs $40-$80 installed and is the single highest-ROI upgrade. We recommend pairing it with a Mul-T-Lock or Medeco cylinder if you're already replacing locks, but you don't have to do everything at once.
What about sliding glass doors and patio doors?+
Different approach — sliding doors get a track lock or charley bar plus security film on the glass. We assess and quote those during the on-site walkthrough; typically $80-$240 per slider.
