Door frame damage after forced entry in Bradford home
Standard Bradford break-in pattern: jamb split at the strike plate, slab intact.

A break-in in Bradford — in a newer subdivision off Holland Street, a Bond Head rural property, or a Holland Landing home — almost always follows the same pattern: a kick to the lock side, the jamb splits at the strike, and the door swings open. The slab is usually fine. The frame at the strike area needs rebuild.

We treat break-in calls as same-day emergencies across Bradford and nearby South Simcoe.

Steps After a Bradford Break-In

  • Call South Simcoe Police and file a report
  • Photograph everything before touching the area
  • Call for same-day emergency repair if the door can't close securely
  • Notify your home insurance provider
  • Don't remove hardware before the repair team has seen the damage

What We Fix Same-Day in Bradford

Jamb rebuild at the strike area, heavy-duty strike plate installation with 3-inch structural screws, door re-hang if pulled off-square, and deadbolt restoration. For Bradford commercial properties on Holland Street West, we assess the door type and frame and explain the scope before starting work.

We can also install a security reinforcement kit — hinge bolts, door reinforcement bar, and upgraded strike — during the same visit for properties that want to improve beyond the original spec.
