Is Your Front Door Truly Protecting Your Home?

When homeowners in Toronto and the GTA think about upgrading their home, they usually think about style, curb appeal, and energy efficiency. But there’s one question that matters more than any other:

Is your front door strong enough to protect your family? At Encore Home Improvements, security isn’t an add-on feature.
It’s the foundation.

And we’re proud to announce that our Secureplex Door System has officially achieved a Grade 10 forced-entry rating — the highest level available in commonly used North American testing standards.

What Does Grade 10 Actually Mean?

This isn’t marketing language. It’s a verified performance rating.

Our Secureplex door was tested by an independent, government-licensed door testing laboratory. Over multiple simulated break-in scenarios, the entire system was pushed to its limits.

To achieve Grade 10 under ASTM F588 / F588M (referenced by CSA A440), a door must:

✔ Withstand 10 minutes of active, aggressive attack
✔ Resist large hand tools such as:
    • Pry bars
    • Crowbars
    • Hammers
    • Screwdrivers
✔ Prevent any opening large enough to allow entry
✔ Maintain structural integrity under focused attack on:
    • Locks
    • Hinges
    • Frame
    • Glazing

Grade 10 is the highest rating in the system.

This is not a decorative upgrade.
This is serious protection.

It’s Not Just the Door — It’s the Entire System

Many companies focus on the door slab alone. But forced-entry ratings apply to the entire door assembly.

That includes:

✔ The door leaf
✔ The frame (Encore does not use plastic frames)
✔ Hinges
✔ Locks and hardware
✔ Fasteners
✔ Glass (if applicable)
✔ The installation method

If any component fails, the system fails.

That’s why homeowners across Toronto and the GTA trust Encore Home Improvements — because we focus on complete systems, not just appearances.

Who Typically Uses Grade 10 Doors?

Grade 10 security doors are commonly specified for:

✔ High-security residential homes
✔ Government buildings
✔ Commercial properties
✔ Theft-prone areas
✔ Remote or vulnerable locations
✔ Projects with strict insurance or security requirements

Now, homeowners in the Toronto GTA region can access that same level of protection.

🔐 Security Is the #1 Concern for Homeowners

In today’s environment, safety isn’t optional.

Whether you live in downtown Toronto, North York, Scarborough, Vaughan, Mississauga, Markham, or anywhere across the GTA, break-in prevention is a real concern. A reinforced, professionally installed Grade 10 entry door dramatically increases protection — and peace of mind.
