What we cover

Residential and small-commercial break-ins.

Forced entry, home invasion, and break-and-enter coverage from police releases, local news, and community reports. Each item is editorially reviewed before it appears here. Items that depend on speculation, sensational language, or unsourced claims do not get published.

How Clear Guard helps

Two services. Layered defence.

Most Toronto break-ins exploit either glass or doors — usually both in sequence. XPEL security window film keeps shattered glass bonded so the hand-through reach isn't possible. ARX Guard door fortification reinforces frames and strikes against kick-in attempts. Both use existing doors and windows — installed in a day for most homes.
