Door Reinforcement

Reinforce Your Existing Door

Door reinforcement aims to strengthen an existing door. Feasibility depends on the condition of the leaf, frame, hinges and fixings. Assess the whole assembly before choosing reinforcement or replacement: a damaged door or weak frame can limit what added components achieve.

The assessment checks the cylinder projection, hinge protection, locking points and frame fixings. Exterior appearance and normal operation also need checking; neither can be guaranteed to remain unchanged before the door is examined.

Reinforcement Options

Depending on the level of security you need and the configuration of your door, our team offers several types of reinforcement:

• Steel plate: a steel plate is fixed to the interior face of your door, reinforcing its structure and making it far more difficult to force open.
• Security pivot : hinges and anti-lift devices are selected to suit the door, frame and fixings.
• Metal frame reinforcement: a steel frame is fitted around the door casing to bind the door and frame together, resisting crowbar attacks.
• Multipoint lock: we install 3, 5, or 7-point locking systems from trusted brands such as Fichet, Bricard, Vachette, and Mul-T-Lock to ensure solid anchoring across the full height of the door.

The selected components must work together and suit the supporting structure. Adding a plate or more locking points does not establish the resistance of the complete assembly. The proposed work is explained in the quote after inspection.

Complete Armored Door

A complete reinforced door-set may be considered when the existing door is unsuitable for reinforcement. For a Fichet, Picard or other model, check the certificate for the exact reference, its dimensions and installation requirements. Certification does not automatically extend to every product from a brand.

Check the proposed model’s technical sheet for these features:

• A multi-layer steel panel
• A reinforced metal frame
• A high-security multipoint lock
• A cylinder protected against picking, bumping, and drilling
• Effective thermal and acoustic insulation

Our technicians handle the measurements, removal of the old door, and full installation of your new armored door, with precise adjustment for optimal operation.

Technical Specifications of Door Reinforcement

Reinforcement must be specified after examining the door, frame, hinges, lock and anchors. Improving an existing door does not turn it into a certified door-set.

• Whole-door diagnosis: reinforcement must address the actual weak points in both door and frame, rather than simply adding a plate or more bolts.
• Compatibility: hinges, anchors, edge protection, lock, cylinder and hardware must operate as one coherent system.
• Verifiable certification: when a timed resistance is required, we specify a complete door-set with a certificate matching the installed reference.
• Fire doors: no drilling or extra hardware is added until compatibility with the fire rating and manufacturer instructions has been checked.

A2P BP1, BP2 and BP3 durations of 5, 10 and 15 minutes apply to complete door-sets tested in a laboratory. They cannot be inferred from the number of locking points or applied to an uncertified assembly.

Who Is It For?

An assessment may help in the following situations, without assuming that reinforcement is always the right solution:

• Ground-floor residents : the door and surrounding access points can be checked to identify weaknesses that need attention.
• Homeowners: whether in Brussels, Walloon Brabant, or Flemish Brabant, we secure the front doors of single-family homes and villas.
• Burglary victims : after a break-in, assessment separates restoring secure closure, repairing damage and considering further improvements.
• Businesses and offices: we also protect commercial premises with reinforcement solutions adapted to commercial doors, including the installation of Nuki smart locks for access management.
