Real High-Security Hardening, Not Just a Better Lock
A high-security upgrade is more than one strong security door lock it’s making the whole door hard to force. We install the CX5 high-security key system with restricted keyways and key control, plus door and window security bars, security plates, latch guards, astragal plates, kick-proof plates, and more.
See all high-security hardening options
- Latch guards – covering the gap between door and frame so a card or screwdriver can’t pop the latch
- Security plates – steel plates covering the deadbolt completely
- Reinforced door handles
- Astragal plates – full-length steel covering the door-frame gap
- Electric strike security plates
- Metal door wraps
- Kick-proof plates – anchored into the studs or concrete behind the frame
- Window and storefront security bars, folding gate installation
- Interior-only locks
Add alarm systems, access control, and CCTV for a space that’s loud, slow, and monitored if someone tries.
We'll Tell You When Something Can't Be Installed
Some doors have a vertical rod inside the frame drilling through would damage it, so we won’t do it. And the question we hear constantly: “Can you put a deadbolt on my sliding patio door?” No patio doors slide, they don’t swing. We install proper sliding door hardware instead.
