Same-day break-in door repair across all of Gatineau — emergency boarding, structural frame assessment, heavy-duty strike installation, and insurance documentation for residential and commercial forced-entry damage. Service en français et en anglais.
A kicked-in door in Gatineau is an emergency on the same terms as a kicked-in door in Ottawa — the property is unsecured, it may be -20°C outside in January, and the structural damage at the frame is almost certainly more extensive than it appears at the surface. We respond to Gatineau break-in door repair calls same-day, crossing the Ottawa River without a travel premium and without the multi-day wait that trying to arrange emergency service from a Gatineau-only provider can produce. Call 613-265-3667.
The structural damage pattern in a Gatineau residential kick-in follows the same sequence as in Ottawa: the strike plate screws — typically 25mm screws in pine jamb wood — pull through the jamb under kick-in force, the jamb splits at the strike area, and the rough framing behind the jamb often fractures under the impact load. What is visible at the surface — the split jamb paint, the displaced strike plate — is almost always less than the damage that is present in the wood behind it.

We remove the door casing to assess the full extent of jamb splitting and rough framing damage. We sister new material against fractured rough framing where found. We replace the split jamb section. We install a heavy-duty strike box plate with 75mm screws reaching the structural framing stud — the upgrade that makes the repaired door genuinely more resistant to forced entry than it was before the break-in. And we provide written damage and repair documentation for insurance claim submission in Quebec. See: common signs of break-in damage to a door frame and emergency door repair after a break-in.
Commercial forced entry in Gatineau — storefront glass broken, aluminum frame forced, hollow-metal door kicked at the strike area — requires the same same-day emergency response as residential break-in calls, plus the additional requirement of boarding the commercial premises securely while permanent repair is arranged. We board and assess same-day and complete permanent repair as quickly as glass sourcing and frame repair scope allows. Service entièrement disponible en français et en anglais.
