entry lock needed for sliding glass door

ehh. ask about Peachtree..perhaps they got something.. forget Lowes and HD, but call the OLDER lumber yards in your area, see if one of them can get you a brand name for the door and a possible lock.. taken the inside handle off the door to see if there is a brand there?

go to

I doubt you're going to find a lock cylinder at Lowes or HD. Take it to a locksmith.

Low tech solution. Put on a hasp and use a padlock.

LMFAO Thats how they do it in your f***in trailer park.

How wide is the door from the edge to the glass?

I presume your current lock uses a hook/finger latch? When you lock it, does the latch rise upward or drop downward?

Does the plate on the frame where the latch enters from the door support going either/both directions, or is it really short and specific?

Some frame latch plates are flush on the bottom, and only support an upward moving latch... Some frame latch plates have a rod or plate in the center, supporting either direction.

We need more info about how wide the lock must be for the latch to line up properly with the frame.

You may be able to adapt some of the more common narrow stile frame door locks.

BTW, if needed you can hide the current handle holes with the new lock style, and use the knob or lever it provides...

With sliding glass doors this is usually ok, unless the door is hard to pull, then you need clean and tracks and maybe slightly talc the bottom track to help keep it moving smoothly.

Typical halfassed solution-that was just begging for Punch Job's remark.

Most locksmith disributors don't stock alot of sliding door locks. I do have some myself. Might try Wright Products, Inc. Or go to DoItYourself.com

Thats where I ordered from the last Peachtree I redid.
