A LICENSED LOCKSMITHS GUIDE TO SECURING YOUR
SLIDING DOORS

• Sliding doors are often left out when it comes to
  discussions about security, yet we know that they
  are a potential weak link in the security of many
  homes. If youre concerned that your sliding
  doors might not hold up against intruders, talk
  to your local, licensed locksmith about upgrading
  your security measures, and check out the
  following guide
• Lock them!
• Close them and lock them this is your primary
  line of defense, and it pays to keep them locked
  even when youre indoors, especially if youre in
  another area of the home.

• Use an alarm sensor
• Linked to your home security system, an alarm
  sensor is a simple way to increase the security
  of your sliding doors, and when attached to a
  door frame, they monitor the opening and closing
  action of the door, sounding an alarm if the door
  is forced open.

• Apply a window film
• Typically, sliding doors are easy to smash with
  the simplest of tools, but the application of a
  window film can prevent them from smashing to
  smithereens and make forced entry, less
  straightforward. Keep in mind, however, that most
  criminals wont smash your sliding door, but will
  instead be looking for a way to quietly and
  easily access your home through an unlocked or
  unsecure set of doors.

• Window film can also help increase your privacy,
  as some have designs on them that enable you to
  look out without letting anyone outside, see in.
• Add a rod in the tracks
• Rods in the tracks can help reinforce the sliding
  doors against unwanted entry, and if your door
  doesnt have one, you can add one easily, and
  inexpensively.
• Get a deadbolt lock
• In general, sliding doors are poorly secured, and
  the addition of a deadbolt could make it far more
  secure from the outside. For all your sliding
  door locking options, consult with a qualified,
  licensed locksmith.

6

• Install a security camera
• Expensive and difficult to install, most
  locksmiths will recommend cheaper, more
  conventional security measures for sliding doors,
  but a security camera can be useful if your
  property is particularly vulnerable.
• Sliding doors are a popular feature of many
  homes, and while they are undoubtedly attractive
  and can give instant access to exterior areas of
  a home, they can be susceptible to intruders and
  anyone intent on getting inside your home without
  permission. To secure your sliding doors and give
  burglars a tough time, talk to your local
  locksmith about upgrading its security features,
  or adding them if there is nothing secure enough
  already in place.
