The Patlock is a product we are big fans of here at Upvc Spares 4 Repairs, not just as it was designed and developed locally here in Yorkshire, but because its a genuinely innovative device.

French Doors, in particular older French Doors fitted a long while ago can often be less secure than you might expect them to be. Depending on the profile of the door it can be quite easy to force one of the doors open and gain entry to the home.

This is where the Patlock comes in. The Patlock securely locks over the door handles, this means if the euro cylinder lock is snapped and the French Doors are forced open, it will not be possible to open the French Doors as the Patlock will still be securely holding the door handles in place. Quite simple in practice, however quite the innovation for a simple yet effective way to greatly increase the security of French Doors.

In addition the Patlock also comes with new security spindles to fit to the existing French door handles, once fitted correctly these new spindles prevent the door handles from been removed on the inside, even if the handle set is broken off externally.

We have created the video below to showcases how this simple, yet highly effective security device can easily add a great second layer of security to a French Door:

As you can see from the above video the Patlock is quite the visual deterrent also, visually showing you are going to have a difficult time trying to gain entry and will have to make a lot more noise if attempting to gain entry, hopefully making any potential intruder thinking again about even attempting to gain entry.
