Sliding Patio Door Lock Installation — in The Villa
A villa this size has several sliding glass doors facing the garden or patio, and each is typically shut by a thin catch. Dust in the runner stops them seating. Our locksmith clears the runner and fixes a proper lock to the frame.
A Thin CatchIs Not a Lock.
Every sliding patio door lock installation in Dubai visit drills the frame and never the glass. Front door worn too? Take a look at lock repair in The Villa.

Clear the Runner,Then Lock It
A panel that will not seat will not lock. So the runner is cleared and the rollers checked before the lock goes on.
