Sliding Door Lock

I think there is very important security concerns when it comes to your sliding door. The way that the door opens is side to side, which is much different than a regular door. This means the lock is actually pulled on every time someone tries to open the door while locked. The internal joints and structure is actually weakened over time because of this. A sliding door lock needs to be replaced or reinforced often because of this little problem. I remember the one I had on my house if you gave the door a fast tub while locked the lock was loose enough to pop open.

This is a real concern for regular people that just want to feel secure in their home. The good news is that there are a number of ways to secure this door and keep it safe. The easiest and the way that requires no installation is a security bar. You just place it behind the sliding door and physically it will never open while the bar is in place. The other way is replacing the lock altogether. Below I have a link that will let you browse through the options and you can decide which one you like.

Best Sliding Door Lock

I have to admit that I'm a big fan of the security bar because it doesn't require anything special to be done. I'll be honest, I don't know much about installing locks and paying someone would be a rip off. Just a simple bar is enough to secure the door. In the picture over to the right I have the Strybuc Charley Bar for sliding glass doors. It is a bar that 48" bar that you can use to brace the door. You can actually cut down the size of the bar to fit your needs if you have a small type of sliding door.

This is the easiest way to get the door security, with the least amount of headache. You won't be second guessing whether the lock was installed right. The bar will brace the door and it won't open. It's just that simple. If you would like to learn more about it you can use the link below.
