Good to know
Sliding doors are often the easiest entry point for burglars because their latches are weak and the doors can sometimes be lifted from the track. A secondary lock, a bar in the track, and anti-lift screws help a lot. We advise on all three.
When this is not the right fix
A cracked frame or damaged glass needs a glazing specialist.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a sliding door be made more secure?
Yes. A secondary lock or a bar in the track helps resist forced entry. We also check that the door cannot be lifted out of its track.
Why does my slider jump the track?
Worn rollers or a bent track. We check both.
