After a break-in or attempted forced entry, damaged locks and compromised door frames need prompt replacement to restore security.
A forced door often has a split jamb or bent strike as well as a damaged lock. A locksmith can reinforce the frame with a strike box and longer screws so the new lock has something solid to seat into.
Beyond fixing what broke, upgrading to a higher-grade deadbolt and reinforced hardware helps prevent a repeat and helps a household feel secure again after an unsettling event.
