How To STOP Sliding Door BREAK-INS! Burglar-Proof Your Home (7 Tips)

🔒 Ray's complete walkthrough — every door, window & lock fix in one guide (+ the $3 screw most homes are missing): 👉 https://raykessler.vercel.app I spent thirty-five years as a locksmith and changed around four thousand doors. Almost every break-in I got called to came through the same door — the big glass slider at the back. So here are the seven things I'd do to that door tonight, most of them for a few dollars, in the order that actually matters. The one that stops the burglar cost me three dollars and thirty seconds — and I put it in the wrong place for years. Your bar in the track does not stop the panel from being lifted straight off. This does. What's covered: • The $3 screws that stop the lift-off (the #1 way sliders get opened) • The bar — cut tight and set high, done right • A real bolt or pin (that factory latch is not a lock) • Security film so the glass holds instead of shattering • A vent lock so a summer breeze isn't an open door • Light and low bushes so nobody can work in the dark • The twenty-second weekly test that costs nothing And the renters' version — every fix with no drilling. I put the whole afternoon in order for you — which door to do first, the exact screws to buy so you're not guessing in the aisle, the length to cut the bar, and how to set the pin — the way I'd walk you through it if I were standing in your kitchen. It's here if you want it in your hand: raykessler.vercel.app You don't need it to do the screws, though. Go put those in tonight. Pull your handle before bed. Sleep the way you're supposed to. — Ray Kessler #homesecurity #slidingdoor #burglarproof #locksmith #patiodoor
