Niagara Falls covers Clifton Hill, Chippawa, Stamford, Drummondville and Lundy's Lane, and most of its homes are detached houses. Older homes near Chippawa and the Falls still have their original doors and frames, while newer subdivisions have large ground-floor windows and sliding patio doors. Either way, the weak points are the same: ground-floor glass, patio doors, and the door frame.

The Facts at a Glance

What Do Niagara Falls 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 Niagara Falls 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 Niagara Falls Homes Different?

Niagara Falls covers Clifton Hill, Chippawa, Stamford, Drummondville and Lundy's Lane. Older homes near Chippawa and the Falls still have their original doors and frames, while newer subdivisions have large ground-floor windows and sliding patio doors.

On the older homes the frame is the weak point, and reinforcement hardware does the most good. On the newer ones the back wall of glass is the weak point, and film does the most good.

Questions and Answers

How much does window security film cost in Niagara Falls?
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 Niagara Falls 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.
