With break-ins involving sliding glass doors on the rise, KRIS 6 Sunrise anchor Bryan Hofmann is sharing a few simple and affordable ways to boost your home security.
A quick trip to Lowe’s can get you everything you need. One of the easiest fixes is a wooden dowel cut to fit snugly in the door track, preventing it from opening even if the lock is compromised.
- Measure your sliding door opening carefully before buying materials
- A simple wooden dowel can block the door from opening
- Adjustable security bars offer a ready-made alternative
- Sliding window sash locks provide an ultra low-cost option
For those who prefer a ready-made option, adjustable security bars can be sized to fit your doorway without cutting. And for an even more budget-friendly solution, sliding window sash locks can be installed at the base of the door to keep it firmly in place.
These quick fixes can add an extra layer of protection and peace of mind for you and your family.
