Are Patio Doors Safe?
Are you thinking of getting a new patio door? Or replacing an existing door with a Sliding Glass Door or French Door? It’s good to look into the safety of a door before it gets installed. Here at Conservation Construction of Texas, we want your home to be as safe and secure as possible. That’s why we’re covering patio door safety in this article.
Old Patio Door Locking Systems
It’s true that old patio doors didn’t have the best locking mechanisms, which made them vulnerable to break-ins. Back in the day all burglars had to do was either unlatch the lock or simply lift the entire door off from its track (this was easier to do than one might think). That’s why if you have an ancient door, say from the 50’s-90’s, you may want to get it replaced. Not only are these old doors very vulnerable, they have probably lost all of their energy efficiency and functionality. Let me just say that struggling to get into your backyard is not fun. Trust me, I know from personal experience.
New Patio Door Locking Systems
New Patio Doors are safer than ever! Door sashes can no longer simply be lifted off their track to gain access to a home. Locks have come a long way in recent years. Here at Conservation Construction of Texas our line of patio doors have a revolutionary Mushroom Head style locking mechanism which pulls the sash more securely into the jamb than traditional hook style patio door locks. In addition, our doors have an optional multi-point stainless steel locking pin which increases security and product performance. Our line of patio doors even passed extensive forced entry testing. This means, you can rest assured your door is secure. You’ll be safe and sound in your own home for years to come.
