Armor Concepts FIX-A-JAMB 24" Interior Door Jamb Repair Kit – Door Frame Reinforcement, Heavy-Duty 18-Gauge Galvanized Steel, for Bedroom, Bathroom & Closet Doors, Aged Bronze

Extremely simple and effective! Point of caution!!!!! Before you screw the plate in, i HIGHLY advise popping the door trim off and placing more shims between the stud and frame. The long screws will go into the stud and draw the frame in if there are not shims installed where its installed. Add some shims to fill the void, screw in the plate. Replace the trim. Easy peezy! Takes bout 5-10 minutes tops. When my door was busted it apparently damaged the door lock striker. It doesnt retract all the way when the knobs turned and is catching on the plate. Its not the plates fault if thats happening it means you probably need to also replace your damaged door knob mechanism. Just a heads up.

Very easy to install and fixed my door frame perfectly. It’s held up to the roughness of my kids and doesn’t look too bad either. I thought it was a little bit expensive but worth it in the end.

This does what it's supposed to do... strengthens an older door frame. However, I did have to make some modifications. There are only 4 holes and the 2x4s the screws are supposed to go into were not in the center of the bar, but rather about 1/4" from the edge, so I had to drill more holes. It would be a good suggestion to have more than 4 holes anyway and zig zag them a bit. Also, if your going to the extent of putting in this bar I would use at least 3 1/2" screws rather than the 2 1/2" screws provided. Other than that it works well, but this is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

Easy to install and solid. Used this to fix and old shop door that was busted. It's stronger than it ever was before now.

If you’re looking for your door reinforcement this item is perfect it’s quite long, so provide extra security, especially with a 2 1/2 inch screws provided. It will also close the gaps in your door to prevent any kind of prying. Just make sure there’s a gap enough for it. I installed this product over the existing plate. The plate seems well-built while still being light and the hardware provided is great. **** you will need a special bit in the shape of a square to use the hardware provided. I’m guessing it’s like a safety bit. ******

My bathroom door got kicked in and the door jamb was done for. This was easy to install and works well. It doesn’t look great, but it’s a good temporary fix.

This product makes it a lot more difficult to "kick open" a door. Easy installation.

Used to fix a kicked in bathroom door. Worked great for me. You may have to mortise out the area slightly to get the door to close normally. I had to remove a 1/16 inch from the area to make it fit correctly.
