We love sliding glass doors. They let in natural light, offer a great view of the backyard, and provide easy access for summer barbecues. Unfortunately, criminals love them even more. To a burglar, your sliding glass door isn’t a wall; it is a giant, fragile Welcome mat.
Statistics consistently show that rear sliding doors are one of the most common entry points for home break-ins. They are often tucked away in the back of the house, offering privacy for thieves to work. Furthermore, the standard locking mechanisms on these doors are notoriously weak. The good news is that securing them doesn’t require a contractor or a security system subscription.
