Why Sliding Door Locks Fail
Most sliding doors use a mortise lock — a slim metal cassette inside the edge of the door. UV, heat, and 20+ years of daily use cause internal springs to weaken, the latch to misalign, and the handle to wobble. Once the lock won't catch reliably, the door becomes a security risk.
Phoenix Patio Door Security
A standard mortise lock is not enough. Sliding patio doors can be lifted out of the track from the outside in seconds if no anti-lift pin is installed. AZSliders adds foot bolts (a steel pin into the track) and anti-lift hardware as part of every lock job on request, dramatically increasing patio-door security.

Frequently Asked Questions
+Can you replace just the lock, not the whole door?
Yes. Lock and handle replacement is a 30–60 minute job in most cases.
+Are sliding door locks secure enough on their own?
Not really. We strongly recommend adding a foot bolt or anti-lift pin for true security.
+Can you re-key the lock?
Most sliding door mortise locks are not keyed and use the interior handle as the lock control. We can add keyed exterior locks on request.
