Ideal Security Sliding Door Security Bar for Patio Doors and Sliding Glass Doors, Black, Recyclable Cardboard Package, (25.75-47.5 Inches)

The Ideal Security SK110W Patio Door Security Bar should provide adequate security to any sliding patio door in your home. Made of a very durable metal, you will find that this security bar is not only a physical deterrent, but a visual one, too.Installation is very simple. This bar can be installed with one person, although it is more ideal if you have two, so that one person can hold the bar level while the other person drills holes,and then the screws, into the patio door. Several holes are drilled on each side of the door for installation, as both sides of the bar have several screws that hold it in place. The left side of the bar features a metal hinge that allows the security bar to swivel up and down to lock into place, while the right side of the bar has a metal "hook", which permanently mounts on the sliding door itself, to allow you to secure the bar in place.Once installed, the bar can retract and slide up against the side of the door when not in-use. When you decide to secure the door, you simply slide the bar down, extend it as necessary, and then lock it in place within the metal "hook" on the right side. Do note that this connection can be relatively tight, although this is noticed more when opening/removing the bar than when you secure it...however, since this is a security bar, it is probably better to be difficult to remove than easy! The manufacturer's instructions recommend installing the bar above the sliding door's handle, for maximum efficiency.NOTE: If you have an outer door (where the outer door is the one that slides) the security bar should be installed parallel to (above) the interior track, typically with the patio door handle on the right side. If your door slides the opposite way, with the sliding door's track on the other/outer side, this will not properly secure your sliding door. If you have an inner door, you would want to mount this to the side of the inner door, so that the bar essentially blocks the door from being opened sideways, similar to how it would be if you placed a piece of wood or a broomstick in the track at the bottom. However, instead of this sitting in the track, it is mounted to the doorframe itself.EDIT TO PREVIOUS PARAGRAPH: Originally I had noted that this could only be installed on doors where the outer door is the one that slides. This was a misunderstanding on my part. As you can see from photos three and four for this product on Amazon, you can mount it regardless of which door is the one that slides, but it the bracket to which the bar connects will change location depending on the type of door.Once installed and secured, this security bar should protect against most force attacks, such as when an intruder tries to use their strength to force the door to slide, as well as most bump attacks, where an intruder tries to bump the sliding door up or down so that it falls off of it's track.Overall, this is an inexpensive solution to what could be a costly and dangerous problem. While the bar is not the most attractive, it is definitely a physical and visual deterrent that is very secure in place. 5/5 stars

Easy to install and works as it should.

My husband didn’t believe me when I said we needed one of these so I locked the sliding door and challenged him to open it from the outside. The look on his face was priceless when the door slid open after only a little jiggling and shaking.Needless to say, he was more than happy to invest in one of these after that experience. It was fairly easy to install. We decided to make one minor tweak after reading some reviews that said that the part that allows you to adjust the length of the bar can sometimes come unlocked if enough pressure is put on it, making the bar shorten enough for someone to open the door. He drilled a hole in the bar and put a simple bolt through it (shown in 2nd + 3rd pic), making it permanently locked to the length we need it. This is easy to do if you’re handy, but I wish it wasn’t necessary. The adjustable part does feel a little flimsy without it. If it wasn’t for that, I would definitely give this thing the full 5 stars.We’ve had this on the door for 1.5 years now and it’s still as good as new. I like that the bar is easy to put up and down (no bending down and fiddling with dowels) and I’ve never had any issues with it falling down on it’s own. Highly recommend!

I got the patio door security bar to replace one that was very old & no longer working as it did initially. I hired a handyman (because I’m not the least bit handy)to replace the bar & he did so without difficulty. The bar seems quite strong & does a good job of keeping one from opening the door if it’s in place. When I do put it up, it stays in an upright position until I lower it again. I would recommend this security bar to friends. And I would buy another if I needed another one.

Only thing is, it’s painted black and it’s only been a week and the paint is chipping. But IDK we had silver previously!

Fit the door perfectly

It does it's job for the most part. The door only opens about a quarter of an inch before it will go no further. I do have a gripe about the metal clip that goes in the seat where the bar rest when in the lock position, as it will become hard to push in to release the bar to unlock. I cut my finger on it twice as well. The paint is chipping in under a months use (on the white version that I have anyway), which is trivial and I really don't care about just putting it out there in case someone might. It's sturdy enough, and no other issues than the above at this time.

Quick, easy and works great.

Easy to install, and sturdy. I really like the the fact that you can visually see that the security bar is in place.One point that it can be improved upon. You have to make sure that when you raise the bar that it stays raised so the patio door can be opened from the outside.On one occasion I closed the patio door harshly. The bar fell down onto its latch. I could no longer open the patio door since I was outside. I was stranded outside on my porch and it was windy and a light rain was falling. Not fun. Luckily I had someone enter from the front door to raise the bar.Solution? I put 2 pieces of Velcro, one on the latch and the other on the inside door frame. The bar now easily is velcrode in the up position.The inclusion of Velcro would prevent a bar from accidentally having it fall down especially if you have kids and a dad in a rush to close the door too forcefully resulting in one being locked out.

El producto es de calidad, se siente sólido. Sólo hay que considerar que si se van a poner al límite de su extensión, comienza a sentirse fragil, y se atora un poco el botón liberador, ya que queda muy poco tubo adentro para sostener el peso.

Esta genial, es para unas ventanas americanas ya que ellos no tienes dos puertas corredoras. Pero se puede utilizar sin problemas. Yo tengo 3 en 3 puertas

I knew it would be a tight fit when I ordered it but the dimensions given in the advert did not seem to allow for bar when it is fully assembled. However, as I am quite handy I was able to adjust the bar to fit. Please bear in mind this had to be done in my workshop and required a hacksaw and electric drill plus a nut and bolt replace the riveted bar I had to drill out. Other than that the bar looks good on a white door and does the job it was intended for.
