Why this matters · police data

Door-entry break-ins drive the most-reported residential vector.

Across the GTA, 163 break-and-enter occurrences were reported in June 2026. Residential front and rear doors remain the most repeatedly forced entry surface.

How it works

Reinforces the weakest three inches of your home.

Strike reinforcement

Most forced entries fail at the jamb, not the lock. Our hardware distributes impact across a long steel plate anchored into the structural studs — not just the trim.

Frame anchoring

Four-inch structural screws tie the strike zone directly to the wall framing. Factory screws are typically ¾″ into soft pine trim — ours go through to the stud.

ARX Guard core

Co-developed with ARX Guard. Replaces the factory strike with a multi-point engagement system that locks into reinforced framing on both sides of the door.

Lock-side force spread

A continuous steel plate spans the full height of the lock-side jamb, spreading point-of-impact force across the entire frame rather than concentrating it at the deadbolt.

Hinge reinforcement

Heavy-gauge hinge shields and 4″ screws on all three hinge points. Prevents the door from being pried off the hinge side — a common secondary attack vector.

Test-verified assembly

We run destructive tests in our Oakville facility. The current build absorbs repeated kick loads that would split a standard door assembly on the first strike.

Why standard locks fail

Your lock is fine. Your frame isn't.

The deadbolt almost never fails. The wood around it does. A standard residential door frame splits at the strike plate under 500 lb of force — roughly two kicks from an average adult.

Frequently asked

Answers, without the sales pitch.

Still have questions? Call (416) 907‑6900 or start a chat — we'll answer honestly.

Q.01Does this work on steel doors?

Yes. The ARX Guard system is compatible with both wood and steel door assemblies. The reinforcement targets the frame and strike zone — not the door slab itself.

Q.02What about smart locks?

Fully compatible. We reinforce the framing and strike zone around your existing hardware. Smart locks, keypad locks, and traditional deadbolts all work.

Q.03Can it be installed on fire-rated doors?

In most cases, yes. We inspect the door and frame assembly during the free assessment. Fire-rated doors may require specific hardware configurations — we scope that on site.

Q.04What about condo unit doors?

We can reinforce most condo entry doors. Your condo board may require written approval — we provide spec sheets and installation documentation to help with that process.

Q.05What does the warranty cover?

10-year warranty on all ARX Guard hardware components. Lifetime workmanship warranty on the installation itself. Written, transferable on home sale.

Q.06How long does the install take?

Typically 60–90 minutes per door. Two technicians, no drywall work, no painting. Most homes are done in a single visit.

Q.07Who actually does the install?

A Clear Guard technician — the same person who quotes your home is typically on site the day of the install. Every technician is background-checked and trained on the system before they touch a customer’s door.
