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.
