Patlock Instant French Door and Conservatory Security Lock
PATLOCK is a home security product and the ULTIMATE VISUAL DETERRENT for would be intruders, while providing home owners with instant peace of mind.
PATLOCK has been designed and developed in the UK to assist home owners in securing their property against burglars and the growing trend of lock snapping.
Most forced entry burglaries are committed through the weakest point at the rear of the property, usually the Patio or French Doors.
Entry to French Doors fitted with standard handles and locks can be forced in less than 30 seconds.
Each PATLOCK comes with a pair of Tamper resist spindles which once fitted cannot be removed from the exterior, enhancing the security that PATLOCKprovides.
We recommend that you use the services of a locksmith for the initial fit of the PATLOCK spindles, unless you are confident that the instructions provided can be followed successfully.
Both PATLOCK and the tamper resist spindles are Patent registered products.
PATLOCK is to be used as an additional security device for French Doors and not as a replacement for existing locks.

Great visible deterrent for securing French doors
If they want to get in they’ll get in but this just might slow them down or send them to an easier target. Well made and simplicity itself to use. The rubber liners (that presumably prevent handle scratches) fell out on mine so I added a tiny spot of superglue on the bottom of the rubber liner and pushed it back in. Perfect!

Excellent sturdy deterre
Extremely happy with this purchase – recommended by local anti-crime initiative – easy to fit and use, seems solid and strong.
(There is only one type/version of Patlock – do not be persuaded to buy the one advertised at a more expensive price!).
I suffer with some arthritic pain in the joints of my hands and was concerned I would not be able to use the lock, luckily no problems!
It looks the pa
We bought this more to use while we were away from home as a visual deterrent over the bicycle U-Lock we used to use on the patio doors. However it is so easy to fit and remove – no keys, just a push of a discrete button and they slide apart or lock together – that we pretty much use it daily (albeit bearing in mind that the instructions do say it is not a replacement to locking the patio doors, but a back up). We also replaced the door handle spindles with the tamper proof ones supplied in the box, this was quite simple for a confident(ish) DIYer and only took about an hour. Hopefully we’ll never get to know if the product really prevents/delays unauthorised access, but it feels a substantial item and is a far more imposing looking deterrent than a cycle lock hanging loosely over the handles. All in all, very pleased with it.
Very simple to use and effective
A friend bought one of these locks and recommended it to me. It provides some additional protection against patio doors being wrenched open, by clamping the two internal door handles. It’s very easy to fit and remove and also provides a visible deterrent.
Good quality
Seems to have a good write up but doesn’t look as secure as it seems to be so that is a good thing. Plastic inserts keep falling out on removal which it doesn’t mention this should happen in the instructions so I assume this is a fault. It doesn’t change the operation of the device though.

Easy to use, very secure and added peace of mind
Really happy with my purchase. I bought 2 lots of these after someone I know had both of their cars stolen with the keys after having their patio door locks dismantled like in the video you can see on the advert pics.
I bought one for the ground floor patio doors and one for the bedroom doors which go out to the roof terrace. I feel so much safer now, especially in the bedroom as it would be deemed an easy entry point for thieves in the middle of the night. I am always worried about being broken in to for the car keys. The Patlocks are really simple to use and the added unexpected bonus of replacement spindles is a massive plus. I fitted them today on both sets of doors, so 4 spindles, and it only took me 15 mins max.
Massive thumbs up
Brilliant Easyfit Device
We have French doors which were fitted some years ago and therefore do not have up to date euro locks. I had been researching whether to change the locks or fit some type of extra security device. This Patlock is an ideal solution. It is very easy to fit and to take off and requires no additional padlock to fiddle with. The two halves fit over each door handle and are locked firmly together so that the handles cannot be turned even if the door locks are broken. Decorative brass handles are protected by sturdy rubber liners in each side of the Patlock. Highly recommended.
Prevented a burglary!
I purchased this security equipment for additional protection.
This product is FANTASTIC! I had an attempted break in this week and the exterior handles and locks were snapped and this item was the only thing that stopped them proceeding to enter, absolutely brilliant and I would definitely recommend. If I could score it higher than 5 stars I would.

Patlock French door lock
Lock is very sturdy and easy to install. Only criticism is that the two bits of rubber inside has a tendency to come adrift but with a little bit of super glue fixes it straight away. Would be very difficult to try and turn the handles in order to get in the house. Would highly recommend.

Recently we’ve had alerts about increased Asian Gold thefts in our area. Feeling very vulnerable I did some research and along with fitting PIR sensor lights and stoppers to our downstairs windows this has given me confidence that our two sets of patio doors are that little bit more secure. I showed this to a double glazing fitter we use who understands how all the locks and mechanisms work and he was amazed and loved it told us to order them ASAP. A great purchase that after a couple of days is also very easy on the eye once you get used to it.

Easy to fit as it on and remove.
Ordered yesterday 12/11/19 arrived late morning 13/11/19. After opening up the spindle hole with a 17 mil drill bit for the sting clip and using an off cut of 15 mil copper pipe to push the clip home remitted the handles. All nice and easy. tote pressure needed to operate.

Great security item
ordered this item as additional security to my french doors, just a shame that I didn’t check the doors before ordering as I actually only have one handle on my right door and interior top and bottom locks to my left hand door. This item needs handles on both doors to operate. Anyone who has handles on both doors I would definitely recommend this produc

Best Customer Care Ever!
This lock is extremely stylish not to say elegant! There is no need to be concerned about how it will look if you leave it in place most of the time. It is also incredibly easy to install and use. You can’t really go wrong fitting it. It feels solid and very well made. We did have a problem, because the release buttons require a small amount of pressure and we had bought it for an elderly relative who suffers from arthritis and who wasn’t able to use it for that reason. We contacted the manufacturer who replied immediately and instantly offered to swap out the one we had bought for one he adjusted in the factory to a much lighter touch setting, which he sent us within a couple of days (without waiting for the “return” to arrive) and which worked a dream! It was a level of customer care of which we had no prior experience – at any rate than we can recall – and our elderly relative was both delighted and comforted as indeed are we.

Quick and easy
It’s easy to install, once you’re not installing the longer bars, but this is more a deterrent than a solid security option. A well determined intruder would eventually get through these, the hope is they won’t bother and try somewhere easier!

Added security
I tried this lock as there were reported break ins in nearby properties which included patio doors. You will be surprised how burglers can break patio door locks where this patlock can act as a deterrent and an added safety. At the least it makes the breaking of the patio door lock very difficult and time consuming. Dead easy to install if you dont bother changing the lever inside the existing lock..

Feels secure and easy to use
So simple and easy, yet solid. Doors used regularly in warm weather and this takes seconds to take off and seemed by far best solution. Feel confident it will deter all but the determined thief
if u got patio or french doors these type of locks are a must even with Ultion euro locks
everything was easy about this product. The Internal bar that needed to be replaced was so easy. Piece of mind as only last night my next door neighbour was broken into. feel a lot safer now. I ordered 2 for the patio and french doors both were excellent quality. Very impressed.
If you have patio doors you need one of these
Great product which is really easy to use, Give an additional layer of protection for your home and makes intruders think twice about trying. Even my elderly father can operate it with ease. If you are going to do anything to protect your property this should be top of the list.

Great produc
Great, simple and effective product.
I purchased this for our back door after seeing this at my parents.
Simple to use. No need to do anything to the door or drill or change handles. You have an optional spindle you could add for extra security by replacing the current one in your door handles. But I didn’t bother.
It’s great peace of mind knowing it’s adding extra security.

Great deterrent!
Great gadget, visible to intruders from the outside. Easy to install and just gives extra peace of mind, especially if you’re away on holiday – it’s just another thing a burglar has to overcome. It’s like anything if they really want to burgle your house in particular they will, but why go for yours when another house is easier to access, which is what this gives you.

Easy to fi
The Patlock is very is to fit to french door handles. Although I sometimes find it difficult to open the Patlock as my thumbs arn’t as strong now but a younger person would have no difficulty. Can recommend for peace of mind.

Good produc
This thing is a must have if you have patio doors. Son is a policeman and he told me patio doors is most common point of entry in a burglary. If they want to get in they will but it’s a deterrent and that’s all we can ask for I guess. I’m sure it will work if needed.

A must for french door owners
This is so simple yet so effective and actually not too bad to look at. Haven’t installed the handle spindles yet but currently working perfectly well with the existing ones. The doors feel so much more secure with this on – totally recommend
Works well but branding could be designed better.
Looks good with the white door frames but wish the branding was made smaller as it’s blatant advertising visible indoors and outdoors.
The rubber insert on the inside is a good touch to prevent marks on the door handles. Agree with other reviews that weaker hands might find unlocking a challenge.
Really quick service as arrived the next day. The lock seems really strong and robust and I hope it never gets tested. I couldn’t give 5 stars because it is not easy to lock and unlock. You need to apply a lot of pressure by squeezing in with your thumb and finger while at the same time pushing the two prongs together to lock and the same again, pulling to unlock. I would say that an elderly person may find this hard as I can’t do it every time, it takes me a couple of attempts. Locking is easier than unlocking the device. Maybe over time it will get easier. 20 June – Having had this lock for a few weeks now it has become much easier to pull apart when applying pressure on the two parts. I think this is down to the metal rivets slightly wearing allowing a smoother locking and unlocking process. Great lock.
Recommended by the police.
After a lot of break ins on my estate we were recommended one of these as a deterrent. Easily to attach and remove in seconds, comes with some stickers to ward off and scumbags. I’ve not fitted the spindles as yet as I’m in a rented house and I don’t think you can get them out easily and have to snap some small circlips.
Does the job very well and quick to remove.
What an ingenious idea. We were advised by a locksmith to fit one of these. He reckoned it would take him about 30 seconds to open our patio doors from the outside. Terrifying! Ordered one straight away. It was easy to fit and we feel a whole lot safer for having it there. Have advised friends and family members to do the same
So disclaimer; I work in a role that puts me in contact with those who are unfortunate to have suffered a Burglary.
So many people with rear upvc patio doors who are broken in are usually done so by lock snapping.
This product does not prevent lock snapping.
This product will however mean that regardless if the lock is snapped it will prevent the handles from operating.
Its more of a deterrent that will HINDER but not prevent entry. Your strategy is to dissuade attempts as much as preventing it.
I have one, in conjunction with anti snap locks. That’s the best practice.
This is also very user friendly to operate and much more visually pleasing than much cheaper options out there.
Simple Produc
Bought one of these more as a visual deterrent rather than physical. My doors already have upgraded locks and latches, but a determined thief would just smash a pane of glass out to gain entry, which you cannot really protect against easily. The lock is very lightweight and seems well made. Almost impossible to buy one of these at a ‘bargain’ price. But more favourable prices on Amazon incompatible to high street stores.

Just another step to try and keep them ou
After my Sister never law got broken into I decided to step up all security, as well as a hefty alarm system we decided on Patio door locks this is perfect just slides over existing door and stiffens that section of the door in an attempt to evade burglars.
I would say though it doesn’t lock with a key just clicks together so if they broke window they would in fact be able to get it off.
Just another step to try and keep them ou
This looks very simple but it is excellent. I’m just using the security lock and they fit easily over the handles of my conservatory doors, lock easily and very easy to unlock – but give you a real feeling of security as it would be extremely difficult for anyone to now enter from outside when this lock is on. I got these following a burglary in January. I use them every day and feel comfortable leaving my home again. Yes, someone could still break in but they would have to remove the patio doors or break through the glass now- they won’t be able to just walk through what I had previously thought were secure conservatory doors again now I have this lock. I would thoroughly recommend.
Fantastic product for sercurity
Security for my French doors has been an issue for a long time our local police force highly recommend this product so ordered 1 yesterday at approx.12.30 on the 5.3.2019 can’t believe the speed this item arrived next day at approx 10.30 6.3.2019 so well packed aswell we are so pleased with how it looks aswell hope it never has cause to be tested but feel so much safer. Going to order another 1 soon for our other French door when we put another handle on as this 1 only has 1 handle and needs 2 handles to make this gadget work.
Quick & easy
Patlock arrived boxed with two door spindles & a couple of small Patlock stickers (I’ve not used the spindles or stickers) The Patlock took only a few seconds to place over the handles & push together until it clicked into place. I didn’t need to remove the Patlock inner sleeves even though our french door handles curve. As the Patlock is mainly white in colour it blends well with our white door frames. I have arthritis in my hands/fingers but unlike other reviewers, I find it quite easy to press the Patlock to unlock & remove. Perhaps it depends on how severe your arthritis is. Glad I bought this, defintely money well spent to secure our large out opening doors.
This is a brilliant invention, simple and very effective. Never knew that this sort of thing was available until i was told by a friend , so i searched Amazon and found it. Bit pricey for what it is, but then can you put a price on security and peace of mind. I found out while fitting it that you are recommended to change the internal bars from your existing doors to the ones they provide with it to take advantage of the extra security these bars give, added strength in the bars and a security feature that is used when fixing them on. Also.if you where to forget to lock the door, i found that from outside, you can’t turn the handle or handles because of the way these are fitted to the French Door handles on the inside. Great idea, and easy on and off when needed.
After recently having an attempted break in, whilst at home!! I decided to sure up security around the house. The French doors have always been a worry as they are certainly the weakest point of the house. However after finding the patlock it looked like just want I needed. It’s super easy to use, no keys, no fuss, just slot over the handles and it’s ratchets tight as you push it together. Then just squeeze the buttons and slide off. I use it’s whenever the doors locked as it’s so simple to put on and take off. It’s very strong and well made and well worth the asking price. Certainly recommend it to anyone with French doors on their home
Keep it simple
This is not a cheap item, bit neither is being burgled. A very well made item, not cheap materials, but looks and is robust. Easy to fit on its own or with corresponding spindles. The size isn’t subtle, but it does advertise the presence to any unauthorised visitors. A sound investment in home security and piece of mind. I recommend this item, particularly if your garden and the patio doors are accessible but not easy to monitor. Bulldog

I bought this hoping to deter opportunist thieves from, what I think of as, the weakest part of our home security. And it is well made and looks as if it’ll stop anyone breaking in through our patio doors. I had to cut the security bars going through the handles as the one’s included were much longer than I needed. But once that was done it was simple to install. I would mention that a friend of ours recently got broken into and the thieves, all well hooded, just smashed the glass in his dooor and walked out a few minutes later with as many valuables as they could carry. There is no way of stopping that kind of attack. But at least we’ll know we’ve done the best we could to protect ourselves.

So easy to use
I bought this for my new French doors which are white, so it’s fairly inconspicuous when fitted. I discovered that you need to press the buttons when pushing the two sides together, then click it tight. Perfect. I haven’t done the spindles because I didn’t want to interfere with my brand new doors but I’m happy with its level of security as is.

Very pleased with this product. It is effective in making our patio doors a bit more secure and was simple to use straight out of the box. There are replacement spindles that can be used to make it even more secure, but the basic product can be used very easily as it is. Just slip it over the handles, locate the metal bits into the holes provided, press where indicated and close it together. It prevents the doors from being opened. Obviously a determined burglar could smash the glass, but that would be noisy, so seeing this in place may be a deterrent, and that’s got to be a good thing.
Exactly what it says on the tin!
This product does exactly what it says. It offers a visible deterant as being visible through french doors. The product feels sturdy and appears to have a good quality build.
It leaves you with the peace of mind that should the locks be drilled they will stand tall. It comes with the spindles provided which also add another layer of security.
Well worth the money for peace of mind.

Good quality, fits perfectly to my French doors, a bit pricey as I had to buy 2,but you get what you pay for and they put my mind at rest, you can’t put a price on that, hopefully any burglar goes elsewhere and don’t try breaking into my new French doors,all we can do is make it harder for and thieving toe rag

Lightening Delivery
Good piece of kit, ordered Fri @ 18:04 delivered on Sat @ 09:00 (standard free delivery!) Thought this item might look a bit too bulky once fitted, but blends well with the doors (white) and looks the part. Although not the cheapest on the market, it is a quality product, nice modern ergonomic design, instantly visible from the outside while not in your face from the interior. It can be used straight out of the box and couldn’t be simpler to use, no keys to lose or code to forget in any escape emergency. I would recommend changing the higher security turn bars for the time it takes so the lowlife’s cannot extract it from the exterior. Very happy with my purchase and would recommend

Very good
Loved it. We have thought for some time about the vulnerablty of our French doors and although there are cheaper ones on the market. I think ease of fitting and removal counts for a lot ,also considering future wear and tear on the handles .this product appears to take all this into consideration,also it comes with new spindles that hopefully thieves can’t remove to disengage the inside handles.all in all ,simple to fit looks neat good looking deterante from the outside. Very pleased.
Instant peace of mind.
I put this to use immediately and hopefully will never know if it’s deterred unwanted visitors!. Easy enough to use but I can’t push the connecting rods to the maximum due to mildly arthritic fingers that cannot press the release buttons if it’s fully engaged. I don’t think this affects its efficiency. Arrived less than 24 hours after I purchased it. Not ugly either when it’s in position.

Great security device.
I bought this security lock for my French doors unsure whether it would fit or not as my French doors are not the sliding doors, however it fitted perfectly. The instructions are very clear and the device is easy to use. It is very robust and has given me peace of mind as this is the time of year when you see an increase in burglar activity.
Great product and very easy to fit and take off .bit expensive but worth it .very strong and robust and added security.

Good Produc
It is fitted to my conservatory handles but I do find it difficult to remove on account of arthritic fingers. However I think it is a very good product and will do what it is designed for.
This represents a relatively easy solution to French door security, which is quick to fit – although modifying the square sectioned tamper resistant spindles takes a bit more time! – and easy to use in practice. Nothing will prevent a determined burglar, but with Patlock, much more time and noise will be required to gain entry, and, thus much more risk will be involved! I use Patlock in association with a small battery powered alarm, which is also available on Amazon, and very effective as well as low cost.

The lock itself is a solid and secure item and is simple to fit and remove. Very happy with it and certainly gives peace of mind whilst away from home.
I did opt to fit the spindles which needed to be cut but very easy to do. Unfortunately I dropped one of the spring clips inside the door frame whilst doing this. I asked the supplier if I was able to obtain another and they very quickly promised to post me a replacement. So great product and customer service to match.
Extra security for french doors, well made, easy to put on and remove even for 80yr old inlaws.
Word of warning, if like me you dont look what you’re doing when they’re not on the doors and you put them together without looking you can get one of the legs stuck inside the hole for the door handle. Easy to fix, pop the plastic cap off the end and unscrew the screw and it will release it and you can screw it back together.
Works grea
Slightly tricky to fit at first – needed to cut down the included spindles for the handles – but after that they are easy to attach and very effective. Would recommend, but you need to be able to cut the spindles down with a hacksaw.

This is an excellent bit of kit!
This is an excellent bit of kit! Very easy to fit even if you have to change the spindle (which I highly recommend you do)… It’s great for a bit of added security for you home and also a visual deterrent for a ‘would be intruder’ … Also give that extra peace of mind

Great Product but Expensive
Very expensive in my view for a product made in China. Well made though but huge profit margin for seller! Probably cost 7-8 to buy.
Product is good and rather unique with no keys though. Bit bulky on doors to leave on all of the time. Would rather suspect someone will copy the idea of sorts and the price will drop. All in all though got to say it’s a great product.

This is a robust product and undoubtedly adds security to my standard French Doors. It looks good and, I am sure, is a deterrent to the casual thief.
My only adverse criticism is that unlocking the mechanism requires significant pressure from the thumbs. Someone with weak or arthritic ones might find this difficult to unlock.
yes it is very easy to install the main bars without any tool. However, the included replacement spindles are a MUST. They are easy to install too. If you dont the weakest links other than the eurocylinder then it is the internal handle bars which could be removed from the outside because the original spindles could be removed from the outside. (all that assuming they dont go for the glass in the first place). It gives us some additonal peace in mind.
We have had a spate of burglaries around our area and as an added bit of security i bought one of these Patlocks.
Very easy to install (idiot proof).
You also get 2 tamper proof spindles that replace the spindles in the door. These are easy to fit, just make sure that the handles fit both sides before putting on the tamper clip as once this is one it’s not coming off again.
Nice produc
Great lock which works every time and itsnt obtrusive on doors. Only issue is the plastic isn’t very smooth so hard to keep clean but is minor point which shouldn’t detract from a nice product that add an extra bit of visible and practical security

Great, easy to use design, sturdy and reassuring when I am sleeping. I use it on my front doors which are double and I feel confident it will prevent anyone getting into my home via the front door. Expensive at just under 50 but for your piece of mind I would recommend it highly

Does the job on patio doors that a door chain does on a normal door. There is no way anyone is getting past them without dynamite or a JCB
Very sturdy and don’t really look out of place. My door handles are slightly smaller than the holes – but I’ve had a good tug and rattle around, from the inside, and I can’t budge it. Was a little worried as someone with hand issues said she’d struggled with the buttons – but they are reasonably soft squeeze (I have similar issues).

This works as advertised – BUT be warned, some work needs to be carried out to get the full security benefit!
To prevent the square rods that operate the handles from being knocked through or pulled out, two new rods and circlips are supplied.
These are similar to the originals but with a ridge on the outside, (to prevent knock through), and a serrated surface on the inside such that a circlip can be fitted, (to prevent pull out).
The door handles must be removed, (usually two screws on the inside).Then the rods need to be cut to lenghth, (to suit your door), so hacksaw and a vice needed. The hole inside the door will need to be enlarged, to accept the circlip, (20mm), I used a flat drill bit, (Little bit akward as these drills really need a small guide hole). Then replace the rods fit the circlip and replace the handles.
Without the new rods a buglar would break off the outside handles and knock the operating rods through, (breaking the inside handles) and this device would simply fall off into the inside!
So unless you are a competant DIY type, the full security benefits would not be achieved.
Good, strong piece of kit and very visible deterrent. Easy to fit and remove from inside, but impossible from outside. Extra level of security, which is always welcome.

Brilliant Product and Delivery!
Absolutely Fabulous! I ordered 3 from Amazon @ 47.50 each, during Dragons Den where the company was seeking funding at about 21.30 and they were delivered the next day at 16.30. Wonderful product which is easy to operate and does its job and delivery from Amazon was great and I quite. Understand why the manufacturers do not want the hassle of shipping etc. Thank you Dragons Den for advertising this great product.
Feel happier now I have one of these. Well made product, that supplies two spare handle through bolts to replace the old type that can be removed to open the door, when breaking in. Once the new type has been installed, you can’t slide or pull out, just make sure that the locking disc is on the inside. These are easy to install and took me about 30 mins to replace. To remove the door lock you just need to press a button and slide it off the handles, easy.

Fitted to my Patio doors and so far so good.
You only know how really good they are is when you have had an attempt break in.
So hopefully I don’t have to give an update.
Fits to door handles well and easy to put on, no keys needed.
I’ve given 5* for build and easy assembly and removal only.
Easy to fit; looks very smart, read on...
How well this stands up to ‘interrogation’ by the would-be scum trying to take your things is anybody’s guess; but in theory it should work very effectively.
For the user, it’s well-designed and thought out; the instructions for installation are clear, and at the end of the day because of it’s finish and general ‘look’ it appears to virtually be a part of the door, and yet it’s is a breeze to fit and remove (from the inside). In spite of looking as if its a part of the door its presence should be fairly obvious to anyone that might be looking for a way to break in, hopefully enough to deter them from bothering.
If I have any concern, it is a relatively minor one that the white plastic casing may become yellowed and unsightly with time, but hopefully the designer/manufacturers have already considered that and taken measures to prevent that it happening.
There are cheaper variants of this idea out there but this will look the neatest and smartest by far and I’m very pleased with the way it looks. I hope it’s performance is never tested.
Excellent Product - but may need some DIY work
This is an excellent buy. Very easy to install and use. The following comments may help the confusion I had before purchase:
Firstly, it does not lock with a key. When locked it is released by hand pressure. So an intruder could easily remove by breaking the door glass.
Secondly, it comes with a spindle to replace the spindle on the current door handle. This is not essential as the lock will work without the new spindle. The new spindle comes with a washer which keeps it in place and stops an intruder removing it if they saw off the door handle. So it is worth fitting. Again the spindle is easy to fit – you just need to remove the door handle by undoing the 2 screws and the old spindle will just pull out. The only problem is that the new spindle may need to be sawn down for it to fit your door depth. Mine is a new door, but the spindle did need to be reduced by a centimeter at each end. It is tough metal and this did take some time with a hacksaw. The new spindle needs to be fitted with the fixed washer against the outside of the door. The self locking washer is fitted from the inside, but again if the hole is not big enouh for the washer to fit against the metal locking mechanism in the door, then you will need to drill an increase to the hole in the PVC door to enable it to pass through to the metal lock. This was a bit of a problem for me because my drill bitwas not big enough.
Just received this bit of kit in the post this morning to secure our conservatory doors .
After reading the reviews and watching a few youtube videos on the lock, I wasn’t relishing the idea of changing the spindles (and maybe having to cut them to size) in my door but decided to order it anyways – glad i did!
the instructions in the box were simple and to the point – it took me a total of about 10 minutes to take the handles off and change the spindles. simply unscrew the handles, pull out the original spindl. Slide the new spindle from the outside in with the groves facing inwards , check that it is the right length by putting the handles back on either side to check they fit back in place properly and then click the slider into place and click tightly over the groves. Screw the handles firmly back into place.
(Id like to note it does say you don’t HAVE to change them – but it helps keep your handles and the lock in place in the event of a break in). They state that the spindles should fit most doors and despite being longer than the ones i removed they fit snugly within the handles.
after that it was just a case of clicking the lock into place over the door, a few people have noted that there is a bit of wiggle room with the lock and that is true but i made to click it as tightly as possible over the handles.
all in all I’m pleased with this purchase, hopefully will act as a good deterrent and if worse comes to worse, stop someone from entering my home from the back!.
