Sliding doors, whether it is a pocket door, barn door or standard sliding door, are a great option for rooms that have limited space. These modern doors can be installed anywhere around a property, from being used as closet doors to exterior back doors.

Depending on the location, some sliding doors might require a lock whilst others will not. For interior sliding doors, you might choose to simply install a sliding door latch for some added privacy in rooms, such as bathrooms, office meeting rooms and bedrooms.

However, for exterior spaces, sliding door locks will need a secure sliding door lock. These locks are often used for sliding patio doors and exterior sliding barn doors to offer both safety and privacy. These door locks can also be used to secure rooms that you want to keep private and out of reach from unwanted guests.
