Prime-Line U 9846 Patio Sliding Door Loop Lock, 1-1/8 In. Hardened Steel Bar with Diecast Base, Nickel Plated (Single Pack)

Nice solid metal, installation was as easy as putting in 8 screws can be. Having the shorter option was appreciated, their other one was really long and would not have fit in the tight spot I needed it. Functionally I would have liked for the top opening where the latch gets inserted to be more beveled to guide the latch in because if you don't line the latch up exactly centered with the hole then it doesn't go in and you have to fiddle with it which is kind of inconvenient every night, especially if you're short and can't see the top hole. It's nice and shiny and I would have preferred a white or black option but silver is fine too.

Don't take the "Frequently Returned Item" box as a sign this is low quality. It is not. I got tired of having to bend down behind the couch every night to put the 2 x 2 in place so the door wouldn't slide. This turned out to be the perfect solution. Five stars all day long. I suspect the "Frequently Returned" is due to things like not having the space to mount or the correct tools. Below is what you need to measure and need to mount properly. Tools you are going to need to mount properly. Drill. Even a cheap $12 corded drill, doesnt matter. 3/32 metal drill bit for starter holes. (Titanium works best and is cheap) Fine point Shrpie or pencil. Phillips Screwdriver These are 3/4" wide, so at a minimum, with door fullly closed you will need a surface of 3/4" for both the latch and reciever side. The minimum distance with the door closed from the outside of the latch to outside of reciever side is 2" in order for it to lock. So if your door frame or outside trim is less than 3/4" with a distance from outside to ourside of the mounts of 2", this likely won't work. Also keep in mind that part of your glass is inside the door frame,so you don't want to be drilling holes through and cracking the glass. Mounting (For me) that took less than five minutes. Decide where you want to put it. Put the lock together and hold it in the position you want to hold it and mark the screw holes with the sharpie or pencil. Drill the starter holes. Screw in with Phillips Screwdriver. Simple to mount. Works well.

I replaced the sliding glass door handle on an older sliding glass door (built in 1980s) and the lock didn't quite work correctly. So I bought this lock. This lock is great! It is so much safer than the handle locks. I cannot be lifted off the track like the handle locks. It looks great with the door and makes me feel so much safer! For such a reasonable price, I recommend it for anyone who needs a good reliable lock for their sliding glass doors. Since it fits on the frame of the door, it fits pretty much all sliding glass doors.

Bought this to replace the flimsy and always breaking screen door "locks" that are out there. This is super strong and relatively easy to install. I has to prop the jamp side hardware a bit to get the proper clearance for the bolt to fit and work. But other than that, pretty easy to install. Works really well. As far as I can see this lock is 100% better than anything else that is currently available.

I purchased five of these Defender Security loop locks and installed them outdoors approximately 2 years and 3 months ago (around February 2023). After being exposed to outdoor weather conditions for this entire period, they understandably show some visible signs of rust and corrosion on the nickel plating. However, despite this cosmetic wear-and-tear from the elements, I can report that all five locks are still fully functional and working without any problems. They have held up quite well structurally, considering the outdoor installation. If you're looking for a basic secondary lock that proves durable even when used outside, these have performed reliably for me over the long term.

Excellent fit. Be sure to measure the width of the door track prior to ordering. Good value and strong locking system. We have a massive glass sliding door to our patio and pool. Adds an extra layer of security and safety. Our kids are not tall enough to unlock and gain access to pool unattended. Looks great.

Had bought a different type of latch and it didn’t work, this one worked perfectly! Easy install, I needed to find a more secure way to keep my pup from opening up the sliding door, and this definitely worked out well, just make sure u pre drill the hole for the screw because you can break the screw and then have to find a way to hide it behind the latch.

Bought for sliding patio doors has extra lock security works perfectly in installation very easy under five minutes. One person needed to install. It’s always nice to have an Additional lock and sliding glass doors for the price it can’t be beat. You can find it in your local hardware store, but by the time you spend money on gas to go to the store, you can have it delivered for the same amount amount or less highly recommend this item.

Works perfectly and easy to install. Very solid and simple option and have now installed 2 others for friends.

Produto com ótima qualidade

Brilliant piece of engineering, some one really thought it out. We live in the UK and discovered these in the US, they work really well on ordinary doors that open outwards. Being stainless steel they look good and are extremely strong. We used them on connecting house to garage door and house to conservatory doors. They are easy to fit and reasonably priced. Well done Prime-Line. Oh and they arrived speedily from the US to UK.

Está súper bien para puertas corredizas de cristal que no hay forma de ponerles una cerradura más segura porque no hay espacio, esta es una excelente opción! Se pueden poner cuantas se deseen y es muy fácil instalarlas, ya incluyen los tornillos y los taquetes.

A trava parece ótima, mas infelizmente não serviu para o que eu precisava. Falha minha que não medi a distância entre as portas de correr.
