1- Install A Security Bar
One of the easiest ways to protect your home and sliding glass doors is to install a security bar. Not only are they an affordable way to protect your home, but they are easy to install. This can help stop the doors from moving along the track when you don’t want to. Put a piece of wood or a rod inside the track when the door is closed so that someone will not be able to open the door from the outside.
2- Add A Quality Lock
When you install sliding glass doors, many if not all will come with a basic locking mechanism that can help keep the door in place during most circumstances. Sliding glass doors can benefit from a bigger and more industrial lock to keep people out of your home. You can install a sliding door lock that is attached to the door jamb and holds the door in place.
Not only will a proper lock keep burglars from entering your home, but a lock also helps the door stay sealed and keep your home at the appropriate temperature. Not only will your home be comfortable, but a proper lock can help lower your energy bill. When your doors are properly sealed, air can not escape out of your home and cold weather can not enter your home.
3- Shatterproof Film
Glass is extremely fragile and can be broken easily whether it is in doors or windows. When it comes to broken windows, they can be messy to clean up, hard to replace, and affect the comfort of your home while ther is broken glass laying around your home. Using a shatterproof film on your sliding glass doors can protect you from cleaning up broken glass and letting cold air in through your cracks. Shatterproof films can help protect from objects that may hit your windows or stop the glass from expanding during extreme weather conditions.
4- Door Sensors Or Security System
Protecting from break-ins can be prevented by installing door alarms and other security measures. Some security systems come with cameras and show you who is entering your home. Before you trust your doors to keep intruders out on their own, install a security system and alarms to help give you peace of mind.
5- Maintain The Track
Keeping up with the cleaning of your sliding glass door track and fixing any broken parts will allow your doors to slide properly in the designated track. This will help them stop from becoming unattached, becoming broken, or allowing intruders in.
Maintaining the track for your doors will also make your use of them easier. Cleaning out debris and fixing cracking helps the doors to slide easily and will make exiting and entering your home much easier.
