1. Install High Security Deadbolt Locks
High security deadbolt locks are an essential first step in protecting Montreal homes from break-ins. These locks feature hardened steel bolts that extend deeply into the door frame, reinforced strike plates and pick-resistant cylinders. Brands such as Medeco Maxum exceed ANSI Grade 1 standards, offering resistance to sawing, wrenching and forced impact. Professional alignment and installation by a certified locksmith ensures that these locks perform as designed. For optimal peace of mind, trust our team at Lock Aid to recommend and install the best deadbolt solution suited to your door.
2. Reinforce Entry Doors and Windows
Securing access points goes beyond locks. Steel or reinforced-core wooden doors withstand kicking and forced entry far better than standard models. Laminated or impact-resistant window glass also adds significant protection, making it harder to penetrate. Additional reinforcements such as window sensors, protective security film or simple bars offer layered defense. These measures work together to slow down intruders and help deter break-ins in urban Montreal settings.
4. Add Motion Sensor Lighting Around Property
5. Secure Garages and Exterior Access Points
Garages and side entrances offer convenient access but also vulnerabilities. Upgrade to reinforced garage doors and smart openers that allow you to check and control access remotely. Use high-security deadbolts or keypad locks on side doors, and install motion-activated alarms and cameras for extra protection. These measures prevent unauthorized entry to your garage and protect against access to your home.
