Choosing the Right Lock for Your Sliding Door

🛡️ Your Door is Only as Strong as Its Lock

Sliding glass doors are a popular entry point for burglars. Many homes in Florida use the standard factory latch — but that’s not enough.

🧱 Types of Sliding Door Locks

1. Standard Latch (Least Secure)

Comes with most doors but is easy to break or bypass.

2. Double-Bolt Lock

Prevents lifting or sliding — ideal for security.

3. Security Bar or Rod

Placed in the track to physically block movement.

4. Smart Locks

Digital locking systems controlled by phone or keypad — great for Airbnbs or rentals.

🔧 We Recommend:

• Double-bolt locks for long-term residents

• Smart locks for rental or Airbnb properties

• Track rods for added reinforcement

We install all of these during any repair visit.
