Why Patio Door Security Matters
Patio doors present unique security challenges due to their size, glass construction, and frequent use. Traditional single-point locks are often insufficient for these large doors, making multi-point locking systems essential for proper security.

Advanced Patio Door Security Features
Modern locking technology for maximum protection
Multi-Point Locking Systems
Advanced locking mechanisms that engage at multiple points along the door frame, providing superior security compared to traditional single-point locks. These systems distribute force evenly and make forced entry significantly more difficult.
Anti-Lift Security Devices
Specialised mechanisms that prevent sliding doors from being lifted out of their tracks – a common method used by intruders. These devices ensure your sliding doors stay securely in place even under force.
Weather-Resistant Construction
All our patio door locks are designed to withstand outdoor conditions including rain, wind, temperature changes, and UV exposure. Corrosion-resistant materials ensure long-lasting performance and reliability.
Reinforced Strike Plates
Heavy-duty strike plates with longer screws that anchor deep into the door frame, making it extremely difficult to kick in or force open patio doors. Essential for proper security installation.
Keyed Alike Options
Coordinate your patio door locks with your existing house keys for convenience. All locks can be keyed to work with the same key, reducing the number of keys you need to carry.
Insurance Approved Locks
All our patio door locks meet or exceed insurance requirements and British Standards for security. Proper installation and certification help ensure your insurance coverage remains valid.

Patio Door Lock Questions & Answers
Multi-point locking systems are ideal for sliding patio doors as they engage at multiple points along the frame. Anti-lift devices are also essential to prevent the door being lifted out of its track. We recommend combining these with foot bolts and reinforced handles for maximum security.
Signs include difficulty locking/unlocking, visible wear or damage, loose handles, gaps when locked, or if your locks are over 10 years old. If your insurance requires upgraded security or locks don’t meet current standards, replacement is recommended for optimal protection.
