pressing the code on a house alarmA home provides several functions for its residents, from shelter and security to comfort and entertainment. It is a space where you should feel safe and secure from a variety of exterior elements. And keeping your belongings and loved ones safe is generally priority number one when it comes to homeownership. 

So how can you enhance your patio door security to give you added peace of mind whether you are at home or away?

3 Tips to Enhance Your Patio Door Security

Patio doors are often appealing to homeowners because they create a seamless transition from inside to outside, allow tons of natural illumination, and occupy less space in a room. And, you don’t have to compromise your home’s security, especially with the help of these three tips that can enhance your patio door security.

#1: Consider Motion Light Sensors as a Deterrent

Break-ins can happen any time, day or night, and motion light sensors can help deter potential intruders who are waiting until it is dark to unlawfully enter your home. Consider installing hardwire or solar-powered motion light sensors above or around your patio door. 

#2: Install Multipoint Locks

Many homeowners lock their doors at night or when they are out of their house. Because burglars can often get around a single patio door lock, installing a sliding patio door with a  multipoint lock system, such as Eatern Architectural Systems French Door 5000 Series may be worth considering.

This type of lock system makes your sliding patio door more secure because there are multiple places to lock the door as opposed to the standard deadbolt lock. 

#3: Connect a Home Security System

Whether your home is pre-wired for a home security system or not, you may also want to consider installing and connecting one to your sliding patio doors. Ideally, you should choose a system that will professionally monitor your home for better peace of mind.

There are several precautions and steps you can take to enhance your patio door security, including installing motion light sensors, multi-point lock systems, and a professionally monitored home security system.
