Ajax covers Pickering Village, Westney Heights, Nottingham, Audley and Riverside, and most of its homes are detached houses. Newer subdivisions in Audley and the north have large ground-floor windows and sliding patio doors, while older homes in Pickering Village still have their original doors and frames. Either way, the weak points are the same: ground-floor glass, patio doors, and the door frame.

The Facts at a Glance

What Do Ajax Homes Need Most?

Start with the glass. Clear security film bonded to the inside of the pane holds broken glass together in its frame, so a struck window cracks but stays in place instead of opening a hole. Standard 7 mil film holds cracked glass in place; heavy-duty 14 mil+ film resists repeated strikes longer. Film is anchored to the frame, because film alone can be pushed out of a weak frame — anchoring is what makes the whole window act as one barrier.

Then the doors. Sliding patio doors are common in Ajax homes, and a standard sliding door can be lifted off its track or forced along it. A pin lock at the top and a foot bolt at the base lock the door to its track. Front and side doors get high-security deadbolts, reinforced strike plates with 3-inch screws into the stud, and hinge reinforcement — because most forced doors fail at the frame, not the lock. On an older door, reinforcing the frame usually matters more than replacing the lock.

What Makes Ajax Homes Different?

Ajax's newer subdivisions in Audley have large ground-floor windows across the back of the house, and the older homes in Pickering Village have original doors and frames. The two kinds of homes need the same two layers, in a different order.

In the north, film on the big back windows comes first. In the village, frame reinforcement comes first — the strike plate, the hinges, the 3-inch screws. The free check tells you which problem your house has.

Questions and Answers

Do you serve all of Ajax?
Yes — Pickering Village, Westney Heights, Nottingham, Audley and the rest of the town. Ajax is part of our regular service area, and the free in-home security check applies there.

How much does window security film cost in Ajax?
Invisible window security film starts from $500. The final price depends on the number and size of the windows and whether anchoring is included; a fixed price is confirmed in writing after a free in-home measurement.

My Ajax house is old — do I need new doors?
Usually not. Most solid doors are fine — it is the frame, strike plate and hinges that fail first. Reinforcement hardware upgrades those weak points on your existing door for a fraction of the cost of a new door.
