The Patio Door Guardian was designed to
effectively secure and childproof sliding patio
doors in Homes and balcony sliders in apartments
and condo sliding glass doors.
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.
The Patio Door Guardian will not fit patio
doors with the sliding door that travel on the
outside of the track.
