Tools and Hardware Reviews of Patio Door Security BarCustomer Review: Great Lock but harder to install than I thought Summary: 4 StarsI read all of the other reviews before buying this and I went to other stores to try to find it first. The only ones I found at Home Depot and Lowe's had an adjustable bar that was held at the needed size by some kind of tension clip. I thought that was inadequate and liked that this one adjusted by cutting to size. I found cutting it to size to be easy with a hack saw and only took a few minutes. I also bought a 1/2" square length of wood that fit perfectly inside the hollow bar to give it added strength without making it too heavy.
I found it harder to install that some others. Getting the bar part was easy enough but the side that has the rest was harder than I wanted it to be. Even with all of my efforts it is off a little. It is level (and I used a level) but it is a little closer to the glass than the hinged/bar side. Still it seems to work well now that I have it in place. The screw heads stripped easily and I had to go buy some new ones after my initial effort. That was fine but I think the screws that come with it are kind of cheap.
I would say once it is installed it is AWESOME! I love that it is one piece, I love the key that prevents lifting it up. It is a great product. I gave it 4 stars because I found it a little harder to install than I thought it should be and harder than other reviewers seem to think it was.
The shipping was fast and it was well packaged in bubble wrap.
I recommend it, just measure carefully and be careful with the screws unless you want to have to go buy more like I did.
