Durham Radio News reports an attempted residential break-in near Danforth and Greenwood avenues, corroborated by Toronto Police. Police allege four people damaged a door on October 16 and one produced a firearm before the group left. The reported door damage makes the condition of the door assembly relevant to a security review. As general prevention guidance, check that exterior doors close fully and locks engage consistently. Arrange repairs for visible damage or a door that no longer fits securely. ARX Guard door fortification can add resistance to the door assembly when an assessment identifies a suitable application. Keep emergency exits usable and review safe ways to seek help without approaching someone outside. Physical resistance can add delay, giving occupants more time to move away from an entry point and call for assistance.

How Toronto typically gets hit.

A Toronto assessment should follow the individual property: a house with a rear lane, a front entry with decorative glass, and a condo suite present different access and approval questions. For an older home, identify which windows and doors have been replaced before deciding what to assess. For a condo, ask management about the proposed work before arranging installation. For your Toronto property, ask us to review the front entry, sidelight glass, rear doors and reachable basement windows. We check the existing assemblies and access before recommending security film or ARX Guard door fortification. Book a free on-site assessment for a written quote.
