Western Standard reports that armed suspects entered a Bridle Path home through a rear door on October 29, according to Toronto police. Four occupants were taken to hospital following the incident. The reported rear-door entry makes the condition of exterior doors relevant to a home security review. As general prevention guidance, check that each exterior door closes fully and its lock engages consistently. Arrange repairs for a door that binds, shows damage or no longer fits securely. ARX Guard door fortification can add resistance to the door assembly where an assessment identifies a suitable application. Keep exit doors usable and make sure household members can leave without searching for a key. If an attempted entry occurs, move away from the door and seek emergency help. Added physical resistance can create delay, giving occupants more time to respond 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.
