Step by Step installation instructions: Entry Armor Patio Door Lock | Video

Introduction

Today, I am going to introduce you to the Entry Armor Patio Door Lock. Sliding glass doors typically use latches instead of locks, making it easy to break into homes. The Entry Armor Patio Door Lock provides added security to your home by using a keyed, heavy duty steel bolt that fits all your standard vinyl sliding glass door applications.

Tools & Hardware needed to install the Entry Armor Patio Door Lock:

1. Make sure the slider door is completely closed and locked

4. Once the square plugs are removed, you can now install the lock into the door with two phillips screws.
