PATLOCK Police Approved French Door, Patio and Conservatory Security Lock for Double Doors Fitted with 2 Internal Horizontal 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.

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.

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.

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....

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.

4 months into using this product (on front double-doors with contemporary style handles), very sturdy, easy to use, and most importantly no need to drill holes for bolts and latches. My 15 and 13 year old kids use it easily (after a demonstration by me and couple of practice tries). And my 3-year old doesn't even have a chance. An intruder would have to break the door frame inside the walls before this thing gives. Safety for the intended purpose is excellent. They could use better packaging for the price, but that's secondary. I am really pleased.

My mom was super worried about someone trying to break in through her french doors. Installed these, super easy, very easily-seen deterrent, easy to put on and take off from the inside, but hard to take off from the outside. Highly recommend!!

These are perfect! We are adopting a 2 year old and need to secure French doors going out to the pool. Doors were recently installed and drilling a more common lock would have voided the warranty; these are amazing, easy to install and she can not get out. I know they we're intended to prevent Bulgars but they are great for child proofing as well.

A few years ago, we never imagined needing something like the PATLOCK. But everything changed when a problematic neighbour moved in. Without warning or provocation, he caused criminal damage to our property and car—and, most distressingly, he broke into our home by forcing open the patio doors. The experience was deeply unsettling, leaving us feeling vulnerable and unsafe in what should have been our sanctuary. On the recommendation of the police, we purchased the PATLOCK, and it gave us something we hadn’t felt in months: peace of mind. Knowing that our home was now protected allowed us to finally sleep soundly at night again. Many people don’t realise how quickly standard patio doors with traditional handles and locks can be forced—often in under 30 seconds. Burglars frequently target the rear of the property, making patio doors a common entry point. The PATLOCK addresses this critical vulnerability by providing a highly visible deterrent during the day and robust protection when it matters most—at night. Designed for double doors with internal horizontal handles, the PATLOCK is incredibly easy to install. Its ratchet locking bars secure the unit in seconds by holding the internal handles firmly in place. This prevents the external handles from being operated, ensuring that the door mechanism remains locked—even if the locks are snapped or removed entirely. One crucial detail: be sure to install the pair of tamper-resistant spindles that come with the PATLOCK. Once fitted, these spindles cannot be removed from the outside, significantly enhancing your home's security. Installation takes just five minutes and adds a vital extra layer of protection. Another huge plus is its simplicity. The PATLOCK can be fitted or removed in seconds—just slot it over the handles and slide the locking bars into place. There are no keys or codes to remember, making it both practical and user-friendly. It’s also incredibly well-built. The materials are strong, heavy-duty, and clearly made to last. While it’s not the cheapest option at around £60, the quality and peace of mind it provides more than justify the cost. In our case, it has made a world of difference. If you’re looking to secure your patio doors, I have no hesitation in recommending the PATLOCK. It’s a small investment that delivers priceless reassurance.

Patlock- Sperre/ Sperrsystem für doppelte Terrassentüren sieht sehr gut und elegant aus. Ist ganz einfach einzusetzen und abmachen: Sekunden schnell. Macht kein Problem beim jedem Hausverlassen schnell einzusetzen. Von Außen keine Möglichkeit rein zu kommen, haben wir ausprobiert. Hält Bomben fest. Super Ware. Meine Empfehlung weiter. Danke.

This is perfect. Easy to use and it increases safety of the French Doors of our patio.

I use this for extra security for my French doors only ones I found for double French doors that swing outwards. I like it a lot but find it overly priced.

I had the hope and strong impression that this product would help protect my home .. I have standard French doors (see photograph) and the lock is too short for the doors (see photograph) .. the seller refuses to refund the sale .. $210 for a lock that’s too short is very expensive .. good luck .. you’ll need it !!!
