Sliding Glass Door Security

This playbook outlines a series of steps to enhance the security of sliding glass doors. It includes the installation of bars, additional locks, and alarm systems to deter unauthorized entry.

Step 1: Assessment

Examine the current state of your sliding glass door, noting the type and condition of the lock, the sturdiness of the frame, and any existing security measures.

Step 2: Bar Installation

Install a security bar or a dowel in the track of the sliding door. This bar should be cut to fit snugly into the track when the door is closed, preventing the door from being opened from the outside.

Step 3: Upgrade Locks

Replace the existing latch with a key lock or install auxiliary locks. Consider locks that can secure the door to the frame or the track, adding another layer of security.

Step 4: Alarm Attachment

Attach a door alarm that will trigger if the door is tampered with or opened without deactivation. Ensure the alarm is loud enough to deter intruders and alert you or your neighbors.

Step 5: Regular Checks

Regularly inspect the door, frame, track, and all security devices for signs of wear or tampering. Maintenance ensures that all security measures remain functional.


General Notes

Visibility

Ensure the area around the sliding glass door is well-lit and visible from the inside, to deter burglars from targeting this entry point.
