015 minute inspection
Open the door, inspect the strike, measure visible screws, confirm the bolt throws fully, and watch whether the frame moves when the door is pushed.
Montreal
The best-value door reinforcement usually does not start with a smart lock. It starts with the frame, strike, screws, and deadbolt alignment.
Install in Montreal
Open the door, inspect the strike, measure visible screws, confirm the bolt throws fully, and watch whether the frame moves when the door is pushed.
Install a longer strike or box strike with 3 inch structural screws, then replace at least one screw per hinge with a screw that reaches framing.
If the door is hidden, already damaged, heavily used, misaligned, or close to glass, the jamb alone may not be enough. Add door edge and hinge-side reinforcement.
