Still have questions? Call (416) 907‑6900 or start a chat, and we'll answer honestly.
Q.01Is Clear Guard a security alarm company?
Show us the existing sensors and alarm equipment during the assessment so the proposed work can be checked with the relevant installer or manufacturer.
Q.02Which entry points should I have assessed in Oshawa?
Review the front door, reachable basement windows and rear doors where present. Note which doors and windows can be reached from outside and any access or property restrictions. A site assessment establishes priorities for the actual home.
Q.03How much does it cost to fortify my Oshawa home?
Book a free on-site assessment. We provide a written quote for the proposed work.
Q.04What neighbourhoods in Oshawa do you serve?
We serve Oshawa, including Lakeview, McLaughlin, Northglen, Samac, Pinecrest. Contact us to discuss the property and current assessment availability.
Q.05How is Oshawa assessment and installation scheduling arranged?
Ask about current assessment availability. Installation timing is confirmed after reviewing the scope, preparation and access.
Q.06What does security window film do?
Security film helps hold broken glass together and can add resistance to forced entry. Suitability depends on the glass, frame, film and attachment. It does not make a window unbreakable or guarantee that entry will be prevented.
Q.07What does ARX Guard door fortification do?
ARX Guard door fortification adds resistance to the existing door assembly. We assess the door and any property restrictions before recommending a scope.
Q.08Do I need both security film and door fortification?
An assessment can consider eligible glass and doors together. Your written quote identifies the recommended work so you can choose priorities.
Q.09Will the film change the appearance of my windows?
We discuss the proposed film’s appearance and attachment details before quoting, particularly where the property has heritage or building-management requirements.
Q.10Can I keep my existing lock and alarm sensors?
Show us the existing hardware and sensors during the assessment so we can check the proposed work against them.
Q.11How long will installation take?
Timing depends on the number and size of windows, preparation, access and the door work selected. We confirm the schedule for the agreed scope.
Q.12Is my glass suitable for security film?
We review the glass type, existing coatings, frame condition and manufacturer compatibility requirements before selecting a film. Film selection and application side are specific to the assessed installation.
