In this video i attempt to open a patio door that has got stuck locked.
Sliding door lock broken.
Take your graphite pen and insert it into the lowermost screw hole quickly to prevent the latch from falling into the frame.
Because sliding patio doors are used a lot it s common for their locks to occasionally jam or break.
These locks are important for keeping your patio doors secure so it s important that you replace yours promptly if it s not working.
Take the old door lock to your local hardware store to use as a reference when purchasing a new door lock.
First remove the screws securing the door handle in place first with your phillips screwdriver and slide the outer latch lever out of place.
