Questions and Answers:

Will the Patio Door Guardian work on all Patio Doors? This lock is designed to work on all inside sliding Patio Doors.

Will the Patio Door Guardian secure my Patio Door from intruders? This lock is designed to keep your patio door closed and though it does have security benefits it does not lock with a key. It will deter intruders as significant force would have to be used to penetrate the door.

When I mount the Patio Door Guardian to my patio door, how do I determine where to put the screws? You must mount the screws away from the edge of the glass on the sliding door, so you do not break the glass. Do not rely only on the location of mounting plate holes provided with your Patio Door Guardian instructions. Hold the lock up to the desired height and mark your mounting holes away from the glass edge of the door.
The Patio Door Guardian was designed to effectively secure and childproof sliding patio doors in Homes and balcony sliders in apartments/condos.

What are the three most common means of entering through a locked patio door?
If you said "Prying, lifting and breaking the glass", you're absolutely correct. Due to the light structure of most sliding patio doors and their locks, entry can be gained by simply applying pressure to the lock and strike area by prying with a large screwdriver or pry bar. This means of entry is fast, easy and in most cases so quiet it is almost undetectable.
The most popular remedy for this type of entry is the old broom handle in the track.While there's no doubt as to the effectiveness of this method for preventing a pried opening, it falls short in protecting the door against being lifted. Like prying, lifting is quick, simple and noiseless.
Patio Doors are manufactured with either the sliding door on the outside or on the inside. Those mounted outside are the most prone to prying and lifting and are the hardest to protect.
Note: The Patio Door Guardian will not fit patio doors with the sliding door on the outside.
