Sliding doors usually are great sace savers for most homes. No space should be allotted for opening and closing doors. Space is maximized.

There are a lot of ways to ensure security and privacy when using sliding doors in the home. There is the built in locks, and there are some that a homeowner can just simply install.

Pin Locks

A homeowner also has the option of using pin locks on sliding doors to reinforce the built-in locks of the sliding door. Mr. Rogers Neighborhood Buzz shared this tip.

“According to a post by Naples Daily News, installing a pin lock is the best way to secure your sliding patio door. It is also the recommended approach to securing sliding doors made by the National Crime Prevention Council and other crime prevention authorities. A pin lock works by preventing the door from being lifted off its track, as well as preventing it from sliding open. These locks can be affordably purchased at any local hardware store and are easily installed using a drill and a screwdriver. You can do the installation yourself or hire a trusted handyman, taking special care with the drilling step.”
