Our sliding door lock will keep the sliding doors in your home safe from intruders. Sliding doors are frequently found on porches and patios and should be secured whether you are at home or not. Sliding door locks are designed to keep the doors from being broke open by intruders. Sliding door locks can include a peg placed at the top of the sliding doors where the doors meet to lock them firmly in place. A more simple sliding door lock may also include a length of wood or steel placed between the bottom of the door and the wall so that it would be impossible to open from the outside. The best type of sliding door lock can be recommended for you by a locksmith or home improvement store. A locksmith can install sliding door locks that can be easily unlatched from the inside and opened. Sliding door locks usually do not require any keys to secure. The sliding door lock that you use should be kept in good condition so that it does not break. Over time the sliding door lock can get loose parts inside which will make it a less secure entry for your home. In this case it is usually better to replace the entire lock instead of having it fixed. When you have a sliding door lock replaced, you will want to make sure no part of the door frame is damaged with a new lock installation. Your home improvement store can help you find the best lock for the sliding doors in your home. – See more at: http://www.locksmith.com/#sthash.M68BQt2i.dpuf
