Security Door Hardware Installation
Professional security door hardware installation in Austin. Reinforce doors, frames, hinges, strike plates. Prevent kick-in break-ins. $100-$400 installed. Protect your home's weakest entry points.
Physical Hardening Against Force
The Kick-In Reality
A heavy-duty deadbolt installed on a weak door frame is effectively useless. Security hardware reinforces the wood and structure around the lock, ensuring the door system is as strong as the lock itself.
Security Strike Boxes
Deep steel housings anchored to the wall studs, replacing flimsy standard plates.
Reinforcement Wrap Plates
Metal sleeves that wrap the door edge, preventing wood splitting around the lock.
High-Security Hinges
Set-screw hinges that prevent the door from being lifted off if hinge pins are removed.
Frame Reinforcement
Steel strips that run the length of the jamb to prevent frame separation.
Hardening Process
We transform standard residential doors into security barriers.
Frame Exposure
We verify the structural framing behind your door trim to ensure solid anchoring points.
Reinforce Anchors
We replace standard 1/2-inch screws with 3-inch hardened steel screws that penetrate deep into the structural studs.
Hardware Installation
We install latch guards, wrap plates, or strike boxes, mortising the wood for a flush, clean fit.
Stress Test
We verify the door closes smoothly but has zero 'play' or wiggle room when locked.

What's Included
Frequently Asked Questions
What is security door hardware?
It refers to components that reinforce the door system against force: strike plates, hinge pins, latch guards, and frame reinforcement strips. It complements the lock itself.
How much does it cost?
Strike plate upgrades: $100-$150. Hinge security: $75-$125. Frame reinforcement kits: $150-$250. Complete packages: $300-$400/door.
Regular vs. Security Strike Plate?
Regular: Thin metal, short screws (into trim). Security: Thick steel, 3-inch screws (into studs). Security plates resist kick-ins; regular ones don't.
Can you reinforce an existing door?
Yes! As long as the door itself isn't a hollow core cardboard door, we can add reinforcement plates, wrap arounds, and latch guards to significantly boost strength.
Most important upgrade?
3-inch screws in the strike plate. This is the single highest ROI security upgrade you can make.
