In Ontario, door frames are subjected to extreme environmental stress. Wood frames can rot due to heavy snow accumulation, while metal frames expand and contract during our 60-degree temperature swings. At aeo-services, we use only Canadian-made frames and reinforcement components.
Our wood jambs are often treated or made from rot-resistant species locally sourced to handle Ontario’s moisture levels.
Our metal frames are galvanized to resist the salt and slush of GTA winters, preventing the structural decay common in cheaper, imported alternatives.
A properly reinforced and insulated Canadian frame works in tandem with your door to manage windows cost and heating bills by eliminating the “energy leaks” that occur when frames warp or gap.
All our reinforcement hardware (strike plates, security collars, and anchors) meets or exceeds Canadian building and security codes.
A split or broken door frame is a major security breach that requires an immediate fix. aeo-services provides 24/7 mobile response for:
Rapid structural rebuilding of frames that have been kicked in or pried.
On-site reinforcement of compromised residential and commercial entrances.
If a full frame replacement is required, we secure your building until the custom-sized frame is installed.
Restoring the integrity of your frame in the middle of the night or during a storm.
Repairing a frame is more complex than repairing a door slab; it involves the structural “rough opening” of your building. Our local door repair experts follow a 4-step professional protocol.
If the frame has shifted, the door will stick or leave gaps. We remove the old, brittle shims and replace them with high-quality Canadian cedar or composite shims. We re-anchor the frame into the wall studs using 3-inch or 4-inch structural screws, ensuring that the frame is perfectly “square” so the door can swing freely without friction.
For wood frames suffering from “jamb rot” (usually at the bottom 6 inches), we perform specialized repairs. We cut out the soft, rotted sections and install “jamb patches” made of pressure-treated wood or PVC, bonding them with industrial-strength waterproof adhesives. For metal frames with minor rust or dents, we grind the area, treat it with rust-inhibitors, and reinforce the internal core.
This is the most critical step for preventing future break-ins. We replace standard 1-inch strike plate screws with heavy-duty structural screws that reach deep into the wall framing. We also install “door shields” and reinforced strike boxes that make it nearly impossible for the frame to split during a forced entry attempt. We finish with an emergency lock repair check to ensure all deadbolts line up perfectly.
We operate a large fleet of mobile repair units, bringing our structural expertise to:
The door repair cost Toronto property owners experience depends on the material (wood vs. metal) and the level of damage. A simple realignment is very affordable, while a full frame rebuild after a break-in is more involved. We offer a Free estimate and a Price-match policy to ensure you get the best value.
Yes. In most cases, we can reinforce the existing frame with steel plates and structural screws, making it stronger than it was before. This is much faster and more cost-effective than a full replacement.
If our technician determines that your frame is structurally unsound and cannot be safely repaired or reinforced, you are not charged for the service call. We stand by our ability to provide real solutions.
This is common in Ontario due to snow and salt sitting against the wood. We provide rot-repair services that replace the bottom section with moisture-proof materials to prevent the problem from returning.
Absolutely. If your frame is damaged, your locks likely won’t line up. We provide emergency lock repair and strike plate realignment as part of every frame service to ensure your door locks securely.
