Want to upgrade your glass door lock? The GeWalt glass door lock is designed to keep the property safe and secure while still looking right on the door. It is made from high-quality materials and comes in a range of finishes that match any style or decor, and it is built to last even if someone tries to get through it.
The lock is high-security and made from zinc alloy or copper, which is what makes it durable and long-lasting. The range covers several types, and installation is provided by our own technicians. Everything in it is designed around five things: safety, security, durability, ease of use and affordability.
Sliding glass door lock set
A sliding lock has a harder job than people assume. The leaf is not closing against a frame; it is travelling sideways and stopping. That means the lock has to engage something on a moving panel, and it usually needs a hook-over mechanism, which also prevents the sliding leaf from being lifted out of its frame from outside.
Our sliding sets run from the compact GW-014, GW-017 and GW-018 bodies for narrow stiles, through the standard GW-011 and GW-012 families in keyed and non-keyed versions, up to the heavier GW-035, GW-041 and GW-042. The GW-013-T is the T-profile option, single or double.
Swing glass door lock set
A swing lock engages a strike in the frame, the floor or the adjacent leaf as the door closes against it. The GW-GHL-003 and GW-GHL-005 combine the handle and the lock in a single unit, available single or double, which keeps the number of cut-outs in the glass to a minimum.
The one thing to check before ordering
Every glass door lock needs a cut-out in the panel to receive the lock body. That cut-out is made before the glass goes into the toughening furnace. Afterwards, the glass cannot be cut, drilled or filed.
On a new door this is straightforward, because we cut the glass to the lock. On an existing door it is the whole question: the replacement lock has to fit the cut-out that is already there. Send us a photo of the cut-out with its dimensions and we will tell you which references fit before you order.
