The best security for a patio door is the Cal Double Bolt Locking System.
We offer three options:
1. The one part option ($75.00) adds additional security to what you already have. We would install the new Cal Double Bolt Lock directly above your existing lock and you can still use the old lock as well.
2. Our two part option ($100.00) replaces your old sliding door lock completely. We simply remove your old lock, add a cavity to cover the hole on the outside and add the Cal Double Bolt Lock on the inside.
3. In our three part option ($150.00) we would install an outside cavity, the Cal Double Bolt Lock and a handle. This option is our most popular one because you have the convenience of a full handle to open and close those heavy sliding glass doors.
