Ideal BK110W Security Inc Patio Door Security Bar with Anti-Lift Lock (White)

Follow the instructions it is easy to fit, you will need a 1/8th inch drill, 3.2mm and an electric drill. Mark your five holes Be aware that the drill bit may drag the drill bit forward in the thin material when you start to drill. Screw the pivot up first (2 holes) followed by the latch bracket with the steel plate behind it (3 screws) job done.

This was fitted by me with nothing but a Dremel and a screwdriver in ten minutes. It does indeed work on our crappy 1970s outside sliding door and I think it looks like a stylish addition. Anyway, it does the job. None of my children have been able to get back in the house for 8 days now, so five stars.

I was a little bit sceptical about this, and agree with another reviewer that the bar is rather slender - but then it needs to be in order to fit behind a sliding door! Installation was fairly straightforward (mounted at mid-level as a visible deterrant), and now that it's on it looks like it has always been there.

Highly recommend any one with a sliding patio door it’s a must

Good

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.

Brilliant bit of kit, it is very strong at holding this sliding door closed, we've both gone outside to try and get it with the door unlocked, but this left down in locking position, we just can't, and it certainly add that piece of mind with it in, never do we go to sleep without this in the locked position

Slimmer than I imagined. I am returning because i feel it does not look great having it dangle. Sorry can’t be more helpful

The swinging hinge was inoperable when delivered - returned

Impeccable

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

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

Great 2nd security for my patio door, I live alone and wanted to secure my patio door. This bar works perfectly, was very easy to install, and I am happy with this purchase!
