French Door, Patio and Conservatory Security Lock for Double Doors Fitted with 2 Internal Handles

We knew the front doors with the "french doors" style was a definite weak point for potential break ins. I was looking for a solution that wouldn't entail drilling into our tile floors inside the house. This devise is the perfect solution and is so easy to apply and remove. My husband originally put it on backwards but just turned it around so the lighter colored lettering faces us inside the house and it works perfectly. Loved the quality and the way it looks. It's a great solution for adding protection to our home.

I just received and installed my Patlock . I have three sets of double doors . Two are the glass French Doors and one is a set of wooded double doors . I used them on my wooden doors because I had two small bolt pins that are pushed into strike plate one on the top and the other at the bottom of the door . Not to secure anyone could have kicked the doors open . There are two parts to the lock that are identical that lock into each other . To use just slip one half of the lock over your interior door handle lever and the other lock over the other handle lever and push towards each other until it locks. When you install them make sure that the cut out on each lock face the doors because it allows to to push then handles in further around the lever barrel .Push the button on both door locks at the same time and pull apart and the doors are unlocked. I tried them on my French Doors and slid on and off easier then my wooden doors . If you door handles levers have a large curve to them they might not fit . I just ordered two more for my French Doors .

We woke up one morning to find our front door open. This was enough for us to find a doubledoor lock. This fits well and we feel secure.

This is perfect for our front doors that open out. I reversed the lock so the deep curve is on the inside of the handle and the shallow on the out. Our handles have a slight curve to grip. These fit perfectly over our handles. I removed the inside liner too. They lock very securely and easy to use.We feel much safer now that we know nobody can just pull open our doors.

I had to return the Patlock only because even when extended to its maximum length, it was too short for my door handles (each 4.5” from cylinder to tip of lever). I’m disappointed that I now have to start a new search for a French door security device, and there doesn’t seem to be many options available. I decided to write a review because the Patlock is a great additional security measure to add to your French doors. It’s sturdy, and would have offered great protection for my home. Very easy to secure, and the release buttons make it super easy to open. No locks or screws etc. to fidget with during an emergency. I gave it 4 stars only because the manufacturer would be well served to go back to the drawing board and extend the length of the device to fit modern longer door handles.

Great double handle lock,thick plastic case with 2 metal hooks.Fit my double french bdrm doors.Abit expensive but better than handcuffs or others that want u to drill in the floor.Bad guys can still break the door glass and break locks off from out side but but can't turn the handles,best of all gives u time to"take care of business"if they get in.Can't find these in the usa,was gonna make something but found these,made in the uk,shipping will be a bit longer than normal,but thats understandable...expensive for this product but worth it....

After our toddler figured out how to unlock and open our French patio doors, we struggled for weeks trying all sorts of surface bolts, barrel locks, and other such things to secure them but nothing worked quite right with the ornate trim getting in the way. I thought, surely there must be an easier way? Turns out there is: the Patlock. It can be secured or removed in seconds and prevents the doors from being opened. Even better: it's easily portable to other double doors as needed. A little pricey but definitely worth it.

We had double French doors installed with our master suite remodel without thinking about how much the doors were the "weak link" for our home security. The lock was so logical but there aren't many choices. We ended up with the Patlock AND a Nightlock door barricade. Now we have confidence that this is no longer the most vulnerable entry into our home.The design is simple and easy to use, but I wish it could be a bit sturdier.
