Sliding Glass Door Security
Sliding doors are a Cape Coral staple and a common weak point.
Why they're vulnerable
Sliding glass doors on Cape Coral lanais are practically standard. So are their security weaknesses: weak factory latches, big glass panels, and simple lifting attacks.
The stock lock alone is rarely enough.
Foot bolts and pins
Foot bolts and drop pins add a second locking point at the bottom. Fast to install and dramatically effective.
Great first upgrade.
Security bars
Security bars in the track prevent the door from opening even if the lock fails.
Some slide down out of the way when not needed.
Anti-lift blocks
Anti-lift blocks in the top of the track stop the door from being lifted out of its rollers.
A simple, inexpensive add.
Full replacements
Full sliding-door replacements sometimes make sense on older homes: modern doors have stronger locks and impact-rated glass.
