Sliding and Swinging security doors

There are two main types of security screen doors. They are sliding doors and swinging doors. Both these doors take different types of lock. A sliding door lock will not fit into a swinging door and vice versa.

Sliding Security Screen Door Lock

Sliding security doors have a lock that automatically latches when the door is closed. They have small handles that disengage the latch. These little handles are on both sides of the door lock.

The sliding door lock has a specific catch. The lock catch screws into the frame. Latches are very type and brand specific.

Sliding security doors slide close to the edge of the main glass door. If the glass door and the security door are too close the door may require a short cylinder. Shorter cylinders are readily available from your Lock Mob locksmith.
