TOLEDO White Security Hardened Keyed Bolt Sliding Patio Door Lock

Lack of directions to address an exterior installation but easy to figure out. It requires METRIC drill bit to properly install and the drill bit was not accessible at ANY auto parts, hardware or general store and had to be ordered online. They should either make it available in Standard form or include the metric drill bit. It is a great lock to use when your slider doesnt come equipper with a means to lock it. Easy 5 minute install by 1 person.

I used a 15/16" bit for the main bolt hole as I didn't have a 12mm bit. I ran the drill bit in and out of the bolt hole and was able to get the bolt tension nice and snug when locked. Installed it on a vinyl glass sliding door. Used the longer lock body screws that were for a wood frame instal, they have an assortment of screws for different doors, the longer screws grabbed the vinyl better I felt giving a real stout attachment feel. Use pilot holes on ever screw point and it should be a great backup lock system.

Great lock and super quality. I would like to see more detail on the instructions though. I have a sliding pocket door and I had to remount the lock a couple times as I had it too close to the upper corner of the door and didn't leave enough space for the locking pin to slide past the metal hole cover. So I had to drop it down another 1/4". Then when I went to drill the 1/2" hole for the pin to go into the door header my drill was too fat to get in close enough to the side of the door opening. I then had to move the lock over a bit. Now that I know all of that it will only take maybe 10 minutes to mount another lock on a second pocket door.

This lock is very sturdy and fairly easy to install despite not having very detailed instructions. Unless you have a very narrow drill or an angled drill you should take sliding door off to get hole for dead bolt straight. I did make mine work without taking door off by using slightly larger drill bit than manufactuer says to use. I would purchase this lock again.

With careful placement and planning two of these will lock a set off bypass sliding closet doors. If placed correctly these locks keep the doors on the tracks. No doubt, a determined thief could break in, but the deterrent factor is excellent. They came correctly keyed so one key opens four locks on two closets. Installation requires some care so bolts and doors slide correctly.

This came a day early with good packing and in good condition. Rapid delivery has been appreciated. Instructions for installation are clear. Utility of instructions is another thing. The angulation required in order to access the track for drilling forces a rough 15 - 20 degree rotation off the vertical. This was followed by problems in drilling holes for mounting the unit. Though insertion of the bar into the 12 mm hole first drilled was readily done, the rod had to be removed for hole location for mounting. If the unit was vertical, the issue would be easy to accomplish. Given the angulation required however, the hole loacation had to be retested 3 times. Once done, the unit was too close and new holes had to be positioned 4 mm lower to allow for the dooor to slide within the track. Further, a screw at the end of the door prevented ideal functioning of the key lock with limited key rotation only through 2/3 of the required half turn for locking. The pan head screw had a countersunk screw placed in its stead with only 1 mm or so protrusion. No better luck was encountered with this step. Finally, I removed this screw and crossed my fingers that the absent screw would not create a problem. With this extra trial, the device could be installed. I would heartily suggest to the manufacturer the provision of a two plane template, i e the use of a paper folded 90 degrees with location of the holes for screw placement positioning to be more readily assessed. The device can be wonderfully useful and now appears to work. I would not order it should there be any screws projecting along the back vertical margin of the sliding door and close to the edge of placement. Get a different lock if such a screw is present. I still hope to find the unit remains fully functional without resulting problems from my work around.

I have been looking for a way to make my "builder's special" vinyl slider more secure. A length of 2" PVC pipe helps keep it from sliding, but I wanted lift protection too. This has filled the bill. It went onto my cheap POS slider in about 15 minutes. It would've been about 10 minutes had I positioned it correctly the first time. Two small holes into the door and one large hole into the frame. Works like a champ! Not 100% fool proof, but does give me a little peace of mind.

I hesitated for months to buy this because of the mixed reviews and now I’m kicking myself for not getting it sooner. Sliding patio doors are extremely easy to break into and having a bolt on the other end helps prevent robbers being able to mess with the lock latch/pry open door. I did this by myself (female) with 0 mistakes and it took maybe 20minutes which is partly because I read the instructions 5x seeing if I was missing something bc it was so easy and other reviews said it was unclear. Lock itself seems heavy duty and again so easy to install! All I had to do was drill a hole for the bolt then add two screws to attach the main part & done! Peace of mind & super simple!

Good package, easy installation, good quality.

Used to use a pice of wood as extra security on my patio door. This is much easier and just as secure.

This lock was bigger than I expected but in a good way. Seems very solid and does the job expected. I would buy it again

Très facile à installer et très solide.
