How it works
Reinforces the weakest three inches of your home.
01
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.
02
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.
03
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.
04
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.
05
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.
06
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.

Frequently asked
Answers, without the sales pitch.
Still have questions? Call (416) 907‑6900 or start a chat — we'll answer honestly.
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.
