For a Richmond Hill home that has been renovated, check which parts of the front entry, rear glass and garage-to-house door are original and which have been replaced. If the rear yard faces open land or a trail, assess actual access and sightlines. Do not infer the condition of a door assembly from the age or location of the house. For your Richmond Hill property, ask us to review the sidelight glass, front entry and reachable rear windows. 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.

Frequently asked
Answers, without the sales pitch.
Still have questions? Call (416) 907‑6900 or start a chat, and we'll answer honestly.
Q.01What should I check before a Richmond Hill assessment?
List the doors and reachable windows you want assessed. Note previous repairs, existing film or coatings, access from the side or rear, and any heritage or building-management requirements. Priorities are established for the actual property.
Q.02What is a sidelight panel and why is it a concern?
Sidelights are glass panels beside a door. Include them in the assessment so the glass type, frame condition and proposed attachment can be reviewed together with the door.
Q.03Do you cover Oak Ridges and the Lake Wilcox conservation edge?
Yes. Oak Ridges is part of our Richmond Hill coverage. If the property faces a conservation area, note rear access and sightlines during the assessment; recommendations depend on the actual glass and doors.
Q.04What does the free assessment include in Richmond Hill?
We assess the sidelight glass, front entry and reachable rear windows where present and review product compatibility before recommending work. Book a free on-site assessment for a written quote.
Q.05How is Richmond Hill assessment and installation scheduling arranged?
Ask about current assessment availability. Installation timing is confirmed after reviewing the scope, preparation and access.
Q.06Will the window film change how my home looks from the street?
We review the glass, existing coatings, frame condition and access before recommending a film. Appearance, attachment and any property restrictions are discussed during the assessment.
Q.07Does ARX Guard work on older Yonge-corridor door frames?
Include the existing door assembly in the assessment. ARX Guard door fortification is considered against its condition, daily use and any restrictions, while preserving required safety functions.
Q.08What 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.09What 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.10Do 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.11Will 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.12Can 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.13How 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.14Is 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.
