  1. Do You Need Patio Door Lock Replacement?

  2. Patio doors can be a real asset to a home or business, particularly if they open out onto a private outside area that can be used for family gatherings, BBQ’s or even business meetings when the weather is fine. However, they can be an easy target for burglars, with many preferring to try and gain illegal access to a property through them, as they are generally at the back of buildings, where their criminal endeavours can be hidden from public view. If you have patio doors at your home or business, have you checked to see if they’re in good working order and can be closed and left locked, securely? Some home or business owners use these doors as their primary entry point to the building, making the security of them an important priority.

  3. Even if they don’t, they are often subjected to a lot of wear and tear, and children, especially, can be very heavy handed with them. While patio doors do tend to be quite sturdy, repeated use can cause the hinges to become unstable, and latches to become loose. In short, there are a variety of ways in which a patio door that is anything less than 100%, can be broken into by common thieves or infiltrated by professionals with all the right tools at their disposal. So, what can you do to improve the security of your patio doors? Security pins: While these can be a helpful addition to any set of patio doors, and can be easily installed, they should never be used in place of a high security lock.

  4. If you’re considering doing a D.I.Y job and fitting some security pins to your patio doors, it might be worth speaking to a professional, local locksmith first, to ensure that you’re not going to risk damaging the doors, and to determine whether there are any other methods that may be more effective. Upgrade your latches: If the latch on your patio doors is faulty, stiff or damaged in any way, then you need to get it changed. A visit to your local hardware store may be enough, alternatively, consult with a locksmith about upgrading the latch and lock.

  5. Upgrade the lock: Whether your patio doors are frequently used, or whether they remained closed and locked for most of the time, they are always going to be a vulnerable spot for burglars or anyone else who wants to get inside your home without you knowing. If you’re unsure whether the existing lock is secure enough or have any suspicions that it might prove easy to break or infiltrate, then schedule an appointment with your local, trusted locksmith, and have them make a professional assessment. Professional locksmiths have seen their fair share of break-in’s, both successful orattempted, and have a wealth of handy and useful tips and pointers for the security of your entire home or business, not just your patio doors.
