Why Secondary Patio Door Locks Matter?
Posted in Patio Door Hardware, on July 19, 2022
As per many regional building codes, a home should always have two working entrances, and for many homeowners the second entrance or exit is the patio door. Ensuring your patio door is secure with specialty patio door locks is a matter of safety. While one patio door lock is adequate, you can get optimal security with secondary locks for your patio door from our selection of Amesbury Truth Hardware at the Window Hardware Company.

Security Redundancies
One patio door lock could be effective depending on the situation. Over time locks that are susceptible to rust or degradation over time may start to break down which could affect their alignment and render them ineffective. A secondary patio lock from the AmesburyTruth Hardware collection is made with high-quality materials that lasts for many years, so if one lock breaks down, you can rely on the secondary patio door lock for security.
Durability & Tamper-Resistant
Intruders will often try alternative entry points besides the front door to break into a house to reduce the chances of being seen or caught. This leaves the patio door lock as a target for tampering. At Window Hardware Company, our secondary patio door locks are designed to be tamper resistant, to be able to open the lock an intruder would have to get past the metal door frame, making it virtually impossible. Additionally, the secondary patio locks are engineered and tested, offering weight resistance of up to 400lbs.
Easy Escape
While most of the time the danger is on the outside trying to come in. There are some cases where you and your family will need to quickly escape from your house, for example a fire or carbon monoxide leak. When evacuation is required, the secondary lock is spring-loaded for easy-disengagement allowing for easy and hands-free departure.
