Top Guard Plate Installation
A top guard plate (also called a door reinforcement plate or security plate) is a heavy-gauge steel plate that mounts over the door edge around the lock area. It prevents door kick-ins and forced entry by reinforcing the weakest point of most Brooklyn apartment doors. Often installed alongside a jimmy proof lock as a complete security package.
Why Brooklyn Residents Choose This Service
Brooklyn apartment doors — especially in pre-war buildings — are often hollow-core wood with minimal frame reinforcement. A single kick can split the door frame and bypass even a good lock. Installing a top guard plate and 3-inch strike screws is the most effective and affordable way to prevent kick-in forced entry.
