Extra security on sliding patio doors. Locking bolts to stop sliding doors being lifted

A pair of keyed alike patio door secondary security locks

I have had some people in the USA  interested in these locks.
Nobody wants there sliding patio door getting easily lifted out of the frame from the outside and opened by burglars..

These locks come in pairs and each pair is keyed alike, one key will open both.  They are available in white and gray, normally the are fitted in the top and bottom corners of the non-locking side of an external sliding patio door.  Should you wish to increase the security further on your patio door you could fit two more of these locks on the locking side of the door.  The locks are screwed to the frame, right on the corner for support, and the bolts are pushed into the door in  pre-bored holes of the correct size.  The door is thus locked in place and cannot be lifted.

Weiser type front door locks. Locking front door locks, Weisser locks

Entrance door locking knob  Weiser     we supply these in all types

I just got a email requesting me to sell a Weiser locking front door knob from a guy in Australia.  At first I did not realise where he was in the world I answered with advice and information on the problem.  I got an answer back asking me would I send a lock to Australia, and I said sure I would.  It appears there are so may Irish people in Australia now that someone from here advised that his broken lock was available from myself in Ireland.  Small world!!!  Keep the referrals coming.

These Weiser entrance door locks are used in some small hotel and guest houses.  There are two options available in these locks, one type has a button on the inside which is switched to lock the door on the inside, the other is called a store room variant of the lock, the inside knob has no keyhole or button, and so the door is always locked on closing from the outside.  This means you need a key to enter form the outside always.  I have hotel customers who used the store room version of the lock master keyed.  Check out my web site www.emhardware.ie or give me a call on 021 488 3131 for more advice, or if it is more convienent email me on handlesupplies@gmail.com

The latches for these locks either the standard 60-70 mm adjustable or 125 mm long.   The knobs are available in polished brass or satin chrome (brushed steel)

Front door handle replacement

Here is an example to a top of the class inquiry (genuine from today),  all the relevant information is given and it is very easy for me to tell the person that we stock this handle in white, chrome and gold colours and we can dispatch it without delay.   For others please take note of the measurements, the key ones being the distance between the centres (A), and the distance between the screws (B).  I will know most of these measurements for most of the available handles from memory, but I will need them from you to supply you with the correct replacement handle. I stock and sell all these type of handles, I can advise you on installation as well.

I'm trying to source a match for a front door handle and I've had no luck so far.  I've attached photos of the handle and the dimensions as indicated in the first attachment are:

A = 92mm

B = 122mm

C = 202mm

D = 52mm

E = 26mm

I would appreciate if you could let me know if you have this in stock and if so price.  If you don't have this in stock can you let me know if you can order it in.

Many thanks,

For the I have a table of handle measurements on my web site, www.emhardware.ie

I sell all the matching letter boxes and multi-point (long strip locks) and cylinder (barrel) locks.  Please send me any question you have either here as a comment, email me on handlesupplies@gmail.com

When an Emergency door is used as a regular door

Outside  lockable handle -Iseo

Panic bolt touch bar type -Iseo

Panic latch touch bar type -Iseo

Often I am asked 'is there some way an emergency door with the standard grey push bar type of panic exit door lock and vertical rods, can be made work as a regular door that will open and close easily.  The answer is simple and provided below.  For emergency exit doors with rudimentary grey rods closing at the top and bottom of the door, regular use as a normal latching door is not really possible.  This is because the bars that hold the door closed do not spring back and allow the door to swing closed and and latch in the closed position.

The common scenario where you need to use a door fitted with an emergency exit panic bolt for regular access to your building is easily remedied. This is made possible by the use of a touch bar panic bolt and a lever action outside access handle.   The outside access handle will operate as a normal lever handle to open the door, when it is unlocked. The touch bar panic latch will allow the door close smoothly and remain closed with the minimum of effort.  From inside the door is opened by pushing the touch bar, an action even the public can be instructed to do as a 'Push Bar to Open' sign is placed just over the touch bar.

For single doors you can use a touch bar panic latch, which latches at the center point only and is used with the lever action outside access handle, the same as with the latch action panic bolts above right.
Iseo products are shown above these are the considered one the the best available, Exidor products are shown below.  All these panic door fittings perform perfectly as emergency door exit locks but they have the added advantages outlined above.
