Strike-side failure
The latch no longer met a stable receiving point in the frame
The opposite side of the entrance also showed damage where the latch and strike were supposed to meet.

We reviewed both door leaves, the meeting stiles, handles, lock side, closer action and frame alignment.

A metal reinforcement component was installed over the failed frame section to create a solid latch and strike zone again.
Locking point strengthened
The repaired area was secured with through-fastened hardware
The reinforcement was fixed in place with visible fasteners and aligned with the meeting door leaf.

Break-In Damage Repair FAQ
Can a kicked-in door be repaired?
Sometimes. We check the door slab, frame or jamb, lock side, strike plate, hinges and alignment to determine whether reinforcement and repair can restore secure operation or replacement is required.
Can you repair a split door frame or jamb?
Repair may be possible when the remaining frame or jamb can still support secure fastening and hardware. Severe splitting, twisting or structural damage may require partial or full replacement.
What if the door will not lock after a break-in?
The problem may involve the lock, strike plate, frame or jamb, door alignment or more than one damaged component. We check the full opening before confirming the repair path.
Do you repair residential and commercial doors after forced entry?
Yes. We assess residential exterior doors, storefront entrances and commercial doors, including frames, jambs, locks, strike areas and related hardware.
Can you temporarily secure the opening?
Yes. Board-up or another temporary securing method may be used when the door or glass opening cannot be closed safely or permanent repair cannot begin immediately.
