- Two men arrested in connection with a home invasion in Ajax
- Drugs and a firearm were seized during the investigation
- Investigation classified as a home invasion (forced entry with occupants present or targeted)
Police in Ajax arrested two individuals following a home invasion investigation in which drugs and a firearm were recovered. Home invasions typically involve forced entry through primary access points—most commonly the front door, which offers the quickest route and minimal exposure to neighbours. Front doors in residential Ajax properties are frequently vulnerable to kick-in attacks when strike plates rely on short fasteners or frames lack structural reinforcement. Door fortification systems like the ARX Guard add heavy-gauge strike-plate reinforcement and multi-point engagement geometry, which significantly resists pry and kick attempts. Layered with security window film on nearby sidelights or side windows, this creates meaningful delay at the entry point. Physical delay is critical in home invasion scenarios: it buys occupants seconds to lock bedroom doors, alert police, or move to a safe room—time that can prevent confrontation or allow emergency response to arrive.
How Ajax typically gets hit.
For an Ajax home with front sidelights, a patio slider and an attached garage, list each assembly separately for the assessment. If fences or landscaping screen the rear yard, inspect those sightlines on site. Product selection depends on the existing glass and doors, not a presumed neighbourhood crime pattern. For your Ajax property, ask us to review the garage-to-house door, front entry and rear patio glass. 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.
- 01Install a door reinforcement system on your front entry to resist kick-in attacks and prying.
- 02Ensure sidelights beside or near your front door are protected with security film to prevent hand-through reach after glass breakage.
- 03Keep exterior lighting on at night and trim bushes near entry doors to eliminate hiding spots and improve sightlines from the street.
Door Fortification
The ARX Guard door fortification system reinforces the door assembly to make forced entry significantly harder. Components are selected based on the specific door and what the situation calls for. Compatible with smart locks, keypad locks, and traditional deadbolts.
Security Window Film
Security film is bonded to the interior face of existing glass. When the pane is struck, the film holds the shattered shards together, turning the typical 2-second smash-and-reach into a sustained forced-entry attempt against a glass surface that no longer separates. Optically clear, blocks more than 99% UV, compatible with tempered, laminated, single-pane and double-pane residential glass. Installed in a single day for most homes.
