Professional astragal and security plate installation in Vancouver. Enhance door security and energy efficiency with properly installed astragals and reinforcement plates.
What Are Astragals?
Astragals are vertical moldings attached to double doors where they meet. They provide weather sealing, prevent door warping, improve security, and create a finished appearance. They’re essential for exterior double doors and French doors.
Security Plate Installation
Security plates (also called strike plate reinforcements or door armor) strengthen the door frame against forced entry. High-quality security plates dramatically increase door security by preventing the frame from splitting during kick-in attempts.
Benefits of Proper Installation
Professionally installed astragals and security plates provide multiple benefits including improved weather sealing, enhanced security against break-ins, reduced energy loss, better sound isolation, and extended door lifespan.
Astragal Types
Different applications require specific astragal types including T-astragals for overlapping doors, split astragals for double-acting doors, rabbeted astragals for better sealing, and magnetic astragals for superior weather protection.
