Reinforce vs. Replace
Paramount evaluates the doors, windows, and frames at your home or business before recommending reinforcement, replacement, or a blended opening-by-opening plan.
Book Your Risk AssessmentProfessional assessment
What we look for before we recommend
The assessment connects each opening to how your home or business actually works and looks.
Hardware and entry points
Existing hardware, anchoring, and likely entry points around the opening.
Everyday use
How each opening is used and what needs to remain convenient.
Your priorities
Your practical needs, preferred look, and comfort with visible security measures.
Possible approaches
One property can need more than one answer.
The recommendation can vary from one opening to the next.
Keep and strengthen
Reinforce existing openings
Keep suitable doors or windows and strengthen the parts of the opening that need attention.
Remove and renew
Replace where more is needed
Install a new door or window where the existing opening or assembly needs more than reinforcement.
Plan opening by opening
Blend the two approaches
Reinforce some openings and replace others so the plan fits the condition, use, and priorities of the property.
Examples may include
Both approaches can apply to door or window openings, with the right choice guided by each home or business.
Reinforcement
Ways We Can Reinforce
Suitable doors and windows may benefit from targeted reinforcement. The assessment determines which measures fit each opening.
Door hardware
NightLock Lockdown, NightLock Regular & NightLock Sliding Door for suitable doors.
Latch and strike support
Door Latch and reinforced strike plate options for compatible openings.
Removable window protection
Removable window bars may be an option for suitable windows.
Window security film
Security film may be an option for windows and glass doors when the existing glass and frame are a good fit.

When Replacement Makes More Sense
These are observable cues professionals review, not automatic reasons to replace. The assessment determines whether reinforcement remains sound or replacement offers the better foundation.
Visible damage
Cracks at the opening and signs of water damage, rot, or deterioration around the frame.
Fit and alignment
Warped or misaligned openings that no longer sit or close correctly.
Locking function
Loose or failed hardware, or openings that no longer latch or lock as intended.
Prior repairs
Incomplete or layered prior work that warrants assessment before more work is added.

We'll look at the openings, talk through your priorities, and recommend a practical path.
