The EZ Armor door security system is similar to Armor Concepts’ flagship solution, Door Jamb Armor®, but is easier to install. While EZ Armor can be installed without removing door trim, it still reinforces all the weak points on a door, providing the ultimate easy-to-install protection against door kick-ins.EZ Armor secures the weak points of a door with its L-shaped pieces that reinforce the jamb, hinge and lock areas on a door, addressing all the strike points on a door that break when kicked. It can be installed in about 30 minutes with minimal “DIY” skills, and can also be used to repair existing kick-in damage. And, unlike security bars and screens that cover the door and can be unattractive, the kit is barely visible once installed. The elements can be installed without removing the door’s trim, locks or cutting any nails. The combo kit fits jambs of any thickness and locks with any backset. This makes it a simple addition to both old homes and new. Soon to be available at Lowes stores nationwide, EZ Armor is now available via www.armorconcepts.com and can currently be special ordered at any Lowe’s location. At the low price of $69, it’s a cost-effective and easy solution to a growing problem.
