Security experts advise homeowners to have multiple layers of security in order to protect your family and property. One of the most vulnerable areas of your home is a sliding glass door, often located in the patio area.
Typically built with simple latch-based locks, criminals choose sliding glass doors for their ease of defeating and for the tendency of most families to leave them unlocked.
Many homeowners choose to leave a broomstick in the inside track to block entry as a countermeasure, but criminals can also defeat this method by manipulating the gap between the two doors and removing it with a small metal rod.
Is there an effective solution for sliding glass doors?
One of Nightlock’s newest products, NIGHTLOCK® Patio, is specifically designed with these problems in mind.

Easy to install on ceramic tile, marble or concrete floors, the Nightlock® Patio Door Security Device uses the strength of the floor to barricade your home from home intrusion.
