These Patio Doors are fitted with high security multipoint locking as standard. The locking mechanism consists 4 heavy duty bolts. fully securing the sliding panels.
Depending on what handle option you choose, the locking mechanism is either operated by lifting the small lever on the D-handle, or by the lifting motion of the lever-Lever handles. When the Lever-Lever handle is parked upright the doors are locked.
It is highly recommended that external sliding doors are fitted with an anti-lift device. The anti-lift blocks on these doors are designed to prevent the sliding panels from being disengaged from the track. This is a common method of breaking into sliding patio doors. Once the sliding sashes are inserted into the frame, this simple yet effective anti-lift device is fitted to the top and bottom of each sliding sash.
This device restricts the movement of the panels, so that they cannot rise up and out of the track, they also act as a guide, assisting in the smooth sliding action of the doors. When combined with our high security multipoint locking, they practically eliminate the threat of someone attempting this method of forced attack.
The door panels on these patio doors slide on a monorail style track, which acts as both a guide and security measure. The sliding sashes sit on the mono-rail shaped outerframe and track, which protrudes up into the sliding panels. When closed the sliding panel wraps and covers the outerframe jambs, in a male - female coupling action that conceals the locks and keeps.
This makes the locking mechanism impervious to attack and helps to prevent the panels being lifted out of the frame.
When closed use the key to lock the cylinder to lock off the handle and prevent the handle from being used to operate the locks.
These Patio doors are internally glazed using a high security glazing bead and wedge gasket. This provides both added security and ease of installation. Since the sealed units are put in from the inside they can only be removed from within the property.
The glass in all of our aluminium doors is toughened safety glass as standard, which is much harder to break than standard float glass. You can however further increase the security of these doors by upgrading to our laminated security glass.
