Introduction to door reinforcement

Door reinforcement covers all solutions that strengthen the security of an entrance door without necessarily replacing it. Compared to a standard door, reinforcement offers significantly higher mechanical resistance to break-in attempts (crowbar, drilling, forcing).

Depending on the level of protection desired and your property layout, options include a steel plate, Parisian reinforcement (sleeve) that keeps your existing door, or a full armored door unit. The goal is always to delay or prevent intrusion and meet insurer requirements.

Benefits of reinforcement over a standard door

  • Greater resistance to break-ins and deterrence
  • Option to keep your current door (Parisian reinforcement)
  • A2P-certified multipoint lock for even closure
  • Compliance with home insurance requirements
  • Added property value and peace of mind
🌟 Ideal for apartments & Paris

Parisian reinforcement: keep your door and secure it

Parisian reinforcement (sleeve reinforcement) wraps your existing door in a reinforced metal structure while preserving the look of your entrance. Ideal for Paris apartments or period buildings, it lets you keep your door while making it much more resistant.

What is included in Parisian reinforcement

  • Steel reinforcement on leaf and frame
  • Reinforced or welded hinges to prevent removal
  • Anti-prying strips around the perimeter
  • A2P-certified multipoint lock (1–3 stars)
  • Custom finish options: RAL, custom colours
💡 Budget-friendly option

Reinforcement plate for doors

A reinforcement plate is a steel sheet fixed to the inner (or outer) face of the door. It increases resistance to drilling and impact without replacing the door unit. It is often more affordable than Parisian reinforcement or a full armored door.

Thicknesses and options

  • Common thicknesses: 2 to 3 mm depending on security level
  • Finish options: epoxy paint, RAL, or raw
  • Suitable for solid wood or composite doors with sound structure
  • Ideal first step for apartment door security on a budget

Reinforcement vs armored door at a glance

The choice depends on your current door, budget, and desired security level. Reinforcement (plate or Parisian) keeps the existing door and can be enough if the leaf and frame are in good condition.

A full armored door (complete unit) replaces the whole set and offers maximum resistance, with a reinforced frame and full A2P certification.
